Study Summary: Indocyanine Green Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy in Periodontal Maintenance
Background
Antimicrobial Photodynamic therapy using Indocyanine Green (ICG) is gaining attention for treating periodontitis. Limited data is available on its outcomes in maintenance patients.
Methodology
– 24 maintenance therapy patients with periodontitis underwent scaling and root planing.
– Test group received ICG-based photodynamic therapy in addition to standard treatment.
– Clinical assessments and microbiological analysis were done at baseline and after 3 months.
Results
– Both groups showed significant improvement after 3 months.
– Microbiological analysis showed reduced bacteria presence.
– ICG-based therapy did not show added benefits over standard treatment but was promising in terms of patient comfort and treatment time.
Conclusion
– ICG-based therapy could be beneficial for maintenance patients.
– Further studies are needed to fully understand its effectiveness.
