Multiple PDT sessions with chlorin-e6 and LL-37 loaded-nanoemulsion provide limited benefits to periodontitis in rats. Photodiagnosis Photodyn Ther 2024; 49:104329. [PMID: 39241923 DOI: 10.1016/j.pdpdt.2024.104329] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2024] [Revised: 09/01/2024] [Accepted: 09/03/2024] [Indexed: 09/09/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The combination of photodynamic therapy (PDT) and LL-37 has never been tested in an animal study and our research team background suggests this strategy might be a promising alternative to intensify periodontitis resolution. This study aimed to assess the effects of multiple sessions of PDT with chlorin-e6 conjugated to the antimicrobial peptide LL-37 loaded nanoemulsion, as adjunctive therapy in experimental periodontitis in rats. METHODS Experimental periodontitis was induced in 81 rats. After disease establishment, animals were assigned to three groups: SRP (scaling and root planning); SRP + 1PDT, SRP followed by a single PDT session; SRP + 4PDT (n = 27), SRP followed by four PDT sessions at 0, 24, 48 and 72 h after SRP. Animals were subjected to euthanasia at 7, 14 and 28 days, and samples were submitted to osteoclast quantification, immunological and microtomography analysis. RESULTS All treatments resulted in significant periodontal improvements and there was no significant difference between the groups in both local inflammatory response and healing process. Minimal adjunctive effects could be found for the combined therapy in terms of cytokine levels (IL-1β and IL-10), with no statistical significance. However, the number of TRAP-positive osteoclasts per mm of alveolar bone linear surface for the group treated with PDT sessions was significantly lower than those treated with SRP only. CONCLUSIONS Multiple PDT sessions with chlorin-e6 and LL-37 nanoemulsion as an adjunct to scaling and root planning reduced the presence of osteoclast in the local site but did not contribute towards bone regeneration and IL-1β and IL-10 levels.

Photodiagnosis Photodyn Ther 2024; 46:104000. [PMID: 38316339 DOI: 10.1016/j.pdpdt.2024.104000] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2023] [Revised: 01/30/2024] [Accepted: 02/02/2024] [Indexed: 02/07/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to assess the influence of methylene blue (MB)-mediated adjunctive antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) when compared to conventional mechanical debridement (MD) alone on periodontal clinical and radiographic outcomes among periodontitis patients. METHODS Randomized clinical trials (RCTs) were incorporated by conducting an electronic search in Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed for articles published in English up to August 2023 to address the following focused question based on the PICO format: "Whether the application of MB-mediated aPDT as an adjunctive to MD (Intervention) leads to improved periodontal clinical and/or radiographic outcomes (Outcome) among participants with and without periodontal diseases (Population) as compared to MD alone (Conparison)". The risk of bias (RoB) of the included studies was assessed using the modified Jadad scale. A meta-analysis was conducted, and it included the presentation of the standard mean difference (SMD) along with a 95 % confidence interval (CI). RESULTS In total, 11 studies were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis. The meta-analysis demonstrated statistically significant improvements in periodontal plaque index (SMD: -0.72 % [95 % CI: -0.99 % to -0.45 %]; p<0.00001), probing depth (SMD: -0.38 % [95 % CI: -0.57 % to -0.19 %; p<0.00001), and bleeding on probing (SMD: -0.44 % [95 % CI: -0.68 % to -0.20 %]; p = 0.0003) scores at the final follow-up visit after the application of MB-mediated aPDT in comparison with MD alone. Nevertheless, there was no statistically significant difference was observed in periodontal clinical attachment level values (SMD: -0.01 % [95 % CI: -0.21 % to 0.19 %]; p = 0.95) between the control group and the experimental group. Six studies achieved a low RoB, five were rated as having medium RoB, while no study received a high RoB. CONCLUSION MB-mediated aPDT, when used as an adjunct to conventional MD contributes to the improvement of periodontal clinical outcomes including PI, PD, and BOP in patients with periodontitis.

Madi M, Smith S, Alshehri S, Zakaria O, Almas K. Influence of Smoking on Periodontal and Implant Therapy: A Narrative Review. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2023; 20:5368. [PMID: 37047982 PMCID: PMC10094532 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph20075368] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2023] [Revised: 03/15/2023] [Accepted: 03/28/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND smoking is considered the most modifiable risk factor for periodontal disease. OBJECTIVE the aim of this narrative review is to emphasize the effect of smoking on periodontal and implant therapy. METHODS The authors reviewed the literature reporting the clinical outcomes of smoking on periodontal surgical and nonsurgical treatment. The impact of smoking on implant therapy and sinus lifting procedures were also reviewed. RESULTS Periodontal and implant therapy outcomes are adversely affected by smoking. Smokers respond less favorably to periodontal therapy and periodontal flap procedures as compared to nonsmokers. Clinical outcomes for smokers are 50-75% worse than for nonsmokers. Studies reveal that smokers experience a significantly lower reduction in pocket depth compared to nonsmokers as well as less bone growth after treating infra-bony defects with guided tissue regeneration. The relative risk of implant failure is significantly higher in patients who smoke 20 cigarettes or more per day compared to nonsmokers. Additionally, smoking has also been shown to increase postoperative wound dehiscence and infection rates following sinus floor elevation. Longitudinal studies on smoke cessation have shown a reduction in bone loss and probing depths for periodontitis patients after cessation compared to those who smoke. CONCLUSION Smoking cessation can reduce probing depths and improve clinical attachment after nonsurgical periodontal therapy. There is insufficient evidence regarding the effect of smoking on peri-implantitis, as well as the loss of implants in the long-term.

Effects of Non-surgical Periodontal Therapy on Saliva and Gingival Crevicular Fluid Levels of Chemerin in Periodontitis Subjects With and Without Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Cureus 2023; 15:e33388. [PMID: 36751175 PMCID: PMC9899038 DOI: 10.7759/cureus.33388] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 01/05/2023] [Indexed: 01/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Evidence had shown a bi-directional link between diabetes mellitus and periodontitis. Chemerin, an adipose tissue-specific adipokine plays a significant role in adipocyte initiation and differentiation that directly influences glucose metabolism, lipid metabolism, and inflammatory mediators. Non-surgical periodontal therapy (NSPT) for patients with periodontitis and diabetes mellitus improves the periodontal condition and regulates glycemic level. Aims and objectives To assess the impact of chemerin on periodontal disease and diabetes mellitus pathogenesis and to analyze the impact of NSPT on saliva and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) chemerin levels in patients with periodontitis with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Materials and methods A total of 60 patients were divided into four groups: Group I: Systemically and periodontally healthy subjects (n=15), Group II: Systemically healthy subjects with periodontitis (n=15), Group III: Subjects with periodontitis and T2DM (n=15), Group IV: Periodontally healthy subjects with T2DM (n=15). Indices and parameters like plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), periodontal probing depth (PPD), and clinical attachment level (CAL) were assessed at baseline in all four groups and six weeks after NSPT in Group II and Group III. A glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) test was taken to assess the patient's blood glucose level. Fasting blood sugar (FBS) level was taken at baseline in all the groups and six weeks after NSPT in Group II and Group III subjects. Saliva and GCF chemerin levels were assessed at baseline in all four groups and six weeks after NSPT in Group II and Group III subjects. Results A statistically significant difference was observed in comparing chemerin levels at baseline with all four groups (p < 0.001). After NSPT, there was a reduction in clinical parameters, FBS, and chemerin levels in Group II and Group III. A positive correlation was observed between salivary chemerin and FBS in Group II, GCF chemerin, PI, and FBS in Group II, and PPD and FBS in Group III. A negative correlation was observed between salivary chemerin and all parameters in Group II and between salivary chemerin and GCF chemerin in Group III. Conclusion Based on the observed relationship between chemerin and the parameters, their utility as a dual biomarker for diagnosis and prognosis in periodontal disease seems promising. However, further studies with a larger sample size on the role of chemerin in health and various states of diseases are required to substantiate the result of the study.

Abstract
In our previous study, Chlorin-e6 (Ce6) demonstrated a significant reduction of microorganisms' viability against single-species biofilm related to periodontitis once irradiated by red light (660 nm). Also, higher bacteria elimination was observed under blue light (450 nm) irradiation. However, the use of blue light irradiation of Ce6 for antimicrobial administration is poorly explored. This study evaluated the effect of chlorin-e6-mediated antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) using different wavelengths (450 or 660 nm) against multi-species biofilms related to periodontitis. Streptococcus oralis, Fusobacterium nucleatum, Porphyromonas gingivalis, and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans composed the mature biofilm developed under proper conditions for five days. aPDT was performed using different concentrations of Ce6 (100 and 200 μM), wavelengths (450 or 660 nm), and comparisons were made after qPCR assay and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) analysis. The greatest bacterial elimination was observed in the groups where Ce6 was used with blue light, for S. orallis (2.05 Log10 GeQ mL-1, p < 0.0001) and P. gingivalis (1.4 Log10 GeQ mL-1, p < 0.0001), aPDT with red light showed significant bacteria reduction only for S. orallis. aPDT with blue light demonstrated statistically higher elimination in comparison with aPDT with red light. The aPDT did not show a statistically significant effect when tested against A. actinomycetemcomitans and F. nucleatum (p=0.776 and 0.988, respectively). The aPDT using blue light showed a promising higher photobiological effect, encouraging researchers to consider it in the irradiation of Ce6 for further investigations.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the bacterial, clinical, and cytokine profile of adjunctive photodynamic therapy using chloro-aluminum phthalocyanine (CAP/aPDT) with root surface debridement (RSD) versus RSD alone in cigarette smokers (CS) and never-smokers (NS) during the period of 6 months. METHODS Twenty-nine patients [CS - 14 and NS - 15] were recruited for the trial having stage-III periodontitis. All candidates from the study groups were subjected to a split-mouth treatment technique receiving CAP/aPDT + RSD and RSD alone. Periodontal parameters including plaque levels (PL), bleeding on probing (BP), probing depth (PD), clinical attachment loss (CAL), and marginal bone loss (MBL) were assessed. Polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) assay was used to analyze the copy numbers of Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg) and Tannerella forsythia (Tf). Levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) interleukin (IL)-6 in the crevicular fluid were evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). RESULTS CAP/aPDT+RSD decreased BP in smokers after 6 months (p < .05). Probing depth and CAL reported statistically significant reductions within both CAP/aPDT+RSD and RSD groups and also within the NS and CS (p < .05). Pg and Tf stayed elevated in smokers at the 6-month evaluation period (p < .01). Only CAP/aPDT+RSD significantly decreased Pg and Tf at 3- and 6-month follow-up in smokers (p < .05). CAP/aPDT+RSD showed decreased IL-6 levels in the NS during the 6-month follow-up (p < .01). TNF-α levels were significantly reduced in the CS group with CAP/aPDT+RSD and RSD alone until 6 months (p < .01). CONCLUSION CAP-mediated aPDT along with nonsurgical periodontal therapy helped to improve the bacteriological outcomes among smokers and never-smokers with stage-III CP patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the clinical periodontal, bacterial, and immunological outcomes of chloro-aluminum phthalocyanine-mediated photodynamic therapy (PDT) as an adjunct to dental scaling (DS) versus DS alone among cigarette smokers (CS) and never-smokers (NS). METHODS A total of 26 patients (13 CS and 13 NS) with clinical and radiographic diagnosis of stage-II chronic periodontitis were recruited. Each patient from both groups were subjected with two parallel therapies (split-mouth): PDT + DS (test side) and DS alone (control side). Periodontal parameters were investigated by evaluating plaque scores (PS), bleeding on probing (BOP), probing depth (PD), clinical attachment loss (CAL), and alveolar bone loss (ABL). Subgingival plaque was collected to detect and quantify Porphyromonas gingivalis and Tannerella forsythia using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) assay. Gingival crevicular fluid was sampled for the quantification of interleukin (IL)-1β and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. All assessments were performed at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months. RESULTS Bleeding on probing was significantly reduced at 6 months after PDT + DS in CS groups (p < .05). Mean PD and CAL significantly reduced after both PDT + DS and DS subgroups and among NS and CS groups (p < .05). At 6 months follow-up, the copy number of both P. gingivalis and T. forsythia remained significantly high in CS group (p < .01). Only PDT + DS subgroup in CS significantly reduced the counts of P. gingivalis and T. forsythia at 3 months and 6 months (p < .05). Only at 6 months did PDT + DS showed statistically significantly reduced IL-1β levels in the NS group (p < .01). TNF-α levels significantly reduced in CS group with PDT + DS and DS alone at both 3 months and 6 months follow-up (p < .01). CONCLUSION Chloro-aluminum phthalocyanine-mediated PDT helped to improve the non-surgical periodontal therapy outcomes among stage-II chronic periodontitis patients among smokers and never-smokers.

Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) is a promising approach to control biofilms involved in periodontal diseases. However, certain challenges, such as staining of teeth, preferential interaction of photosensitizer (PS) with Gram-positive versus Gram-negative bacteria, and insufficient oxygen in hypoxic periodontal pockets have presented barriers to its use in the clinic. To overcome these challenges, a novel superhydrophobic (SH) film that generates airborne singlet oxygen has been developed. The SH-aPDT approach isolates the PS onto a topologically rough solid SH film on which channels allow air to diffuse to the PS surface, thus ensuring sufficient oxygen supply. Upon illumination, gas phase singlet oxygen (1O2) is produced and diffuses from the SH surface to the underlying biofilm. The killing efficacy was assessed as a function of transmitted fluence (17.9-89.5 J/cm2) and chorin e6 loading (96-1110 nmol/cm2) by counting of colony forming units, biofilm metabolism by XTT and confocal microscopy. The decrease in viability of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria in a multi-species biofilm was found to be linearly dependent on the fluence as well as the loading of the PS up to 71.6 J/cm2 when 1110 nmols/cm2 of chlorin e6 was used. A > 4.6 log bacterial reduction was observed under these conditions (p < 0.05). This novel SH-aPDT approach shows promise as an effective method to disinfect multi-species bacterial biofilms associated with periodontal disease and will be evaluated in animal models in future studies.

Clinical Efficacy and Safety of Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy in Residual Periodontal Pockets during the Maintenance Phase. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2022; 15:ph15080924. [PMID: 35893748 PMCID: PMC9332381 DOI: 10.3390/ph15080924] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2022] [Revised: 07/19/2022] [Accepted: 07/24/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (a-PDT) in combination with scaling root planing (SRP) is more effective at improving periodontal status than SRP alone. However, the effectiveness of a-PDT in combination with irrigation for patients undergoing periodontal maintenance has not been clarified. This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of a-PDT in the maintenance phase. Patients who had multiple sites with bleeding on probing (BOP) and periodontal probing depth (PPD) of 4–6 mm in the maintenance phase were treated with a split-mouth design. These sites were randomly assigned to one of two groups: the a-PDT group and the irrigation group. In the a-PDT group, the periodontal pockets were treated with light-sensitive toluidine blue and a light irradiator. In the irrigation group, the periodontal pockets were simply irrigated using an ultrasonic scaler. After 7 days, the safety and efficacy of a-PDT were assessed. The mean PPD of the a-PDT group had reduced from 4.50 mm to 4.13 mm, whereas negligible change was observed in the irrigation group. BOP significantly improved from 100% to 33% in the PDT group, whereas it hardly changed in the irrigation group. No adverse events were observed in any patients. a-PDT may be useful as a noninvasive treatment in the maintenance phase, especially in patients with relatively deep periodontal pocket.

Is a single session of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy as an adjuvant to non-surgical scaling and root planing effective in reducing periodontal inflammation and subgingival presence of Porphyromonas gingivalis and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans in patients with periodontitis? Photodiagnosis Photodyn Ther 2022; 38:102847. [PMID: 35367618 DOI: 10.1016/j.pdpdt.2022.102847] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2022] [Revised: 03/29/2022] [Accepted: 03/30/2022] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim was to assess the influence of a single session of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) as an adjunct to non-surgical scaling and root planing (SRP) in reducing periodontal inflammation and subgingival presence of Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (A. actinomycetemcomitans) in patients with periodontitis. METHODS Patients diagnosed with periodontitis were included. Information regarding age and gender was recorded using a questionnaire. All patients underwent full mouth non-surgical SRP and the following parameters were assessed at baseline: (a) marginal bone loss (MBL); (b) probing depth (PD) (c) clinical attachment loss (CAL); and (d) presence of supra-and subgingival bleeding and plaque (GI and PI). Identification of A. actinomycetemcomitans and P. gingivalis was performed using polymerase chain reaction. For aPDT (test-group), methylene-blue (MB) (0.005%) was used as photosensitizer and it was applied over and inside the buccal pockets of teeth. Using a Diode laser at 660 nm and 150 mW, irradiation was performed All clinical parameters except for MBL and microbiological evaluations were re-assessed at 3-months of follow-up. Level of significance was set at P<0.05. RESULTS At 3-months of follow-up A. actinomycetemcomitans and P. gingivalis were identified in significantly lower number of patients in groups 1 and 2 compared with their respective baseline values. Number of patients in whom A. actinomycetemcomitans and P. gingivalis were identified at 3-months of follow-up were similar in both groups. At baseline, there was no statistically significant difference in PI, GI, PD, CAL and MBL among patients in groups 1 and 2. In groups 1 and 2, scores of PI (P<0.001), GI (P<0.001) and PD (P<0.001) were significantly higher at baseline compared with their respective 3-months' follow-up scores. CONCLUSION One application of aPDT with non-surgical SRP is ineffective in managing periodontal inflammation and presence of P. gingivalis and A. actinomycetemcomitans in periodontitis patients.

Abstract
Aim: The objective of this study was to compare the efficacy of supportive periodontal therapy (i.e., scaling and root planning, SRP) alone versus ALADENT medical device used in association with SRP in the treatment of chronic periodontitis in adult patients. Materials and Methods: A total of 20 patients with a diagnosis of chronic periodontitis (40 localized chronic periodontitis sites) aged between 35 and 55 were selected. None of these patients previously received any surgical or non-surgical periodontal therapy, and they presented radiographic evidence of moderate bone loss. Two non-adjacent sites in different quadrants were identified and observed in each patient, analyzing treatment effectiveness (split-mouth design). Clinical pocket depth, clinical attachment loss, and bleeding on probing were evaluated at time 0 and after 6 months, while microbial analysis (MA) was conducted at baseline and after 15 days. Significant differences were calculated using SPSS program and paired simple statistic t-test. Results: Total bacteria loadings had a statistically significant reduction before and after treatment with SRP (left site) (total average decrease of 27%). The sites treated with SRP plus ALADENT (right) showed a significantly reduced total bacterial loading compared to the untreated sites (right) (total average decrease of 75%). Mean values of CAL/PD and percentages data of BOP, recorded after SRP + ALADENT therapy, showed a higher reduction (CAL = 2.42, PD = 2.87 mm, 90% of sites with no bleeding) than those obtained after SRP treatment (CAL = 4.08 mm, PD = 4.73 mm, 70% of sites with no bleeding). Conclusion: The treatment of moderate and severe chronic periodontitis should include, beside SRP, the use of ALADENT medical device, which has been proved to be a useful adjuvant therapy.

Abstract
Background/Aim. Treatment of periodontitis undergoes several treatment phases. Non-surgical periodontal treatment (NSPT) represents the basic treatment stage, and it is applied to all the patients undergoing periodontal treatment. Adjunctive antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) is one of several contemporary and relatively new possibilities with a role to inactivate microorganisms responsible for the occurrence and progression of the disease. The aim of this study was to comparatively analyze the clinical and microbiological effects of the NSPT alone, as well as combined with aPDT. Methods. A split-mouth method design was used in a prospective randomized controlled trial. The following clinical parameters were registered and monitored: plaque index (PI), bleeding on probing, probing depth (PD), and clinical attachment level (CAL). The presence of microorganisms Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, Porphyromonas gingivalis, and Treponema denticola was detected by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method. Samples were tested before the therapy, as well as three months after the therapy. Therapeutic modalities of NSPT and NSPT with adjunct aPDT were examined. Results. All of the analyzed clinical parameters proved statistically significant improvement after the application of both treatment modalities (p < 0.001). Microbiological analyses showed that the total number of microorganisms was statistically significantly lower after the application of both methods (p < 0.001). Following the treatment, there was a statistically significantly reduced number of microorganisms Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, Porphyromonas gingivalis, and Treponema denticola (p < 0.001). NSPT combined with aPDT led to a statistically significant improvement of both clinical parameters and microbiological status compared to NSPT applied on its own. Conclusion. The study showed improvement of all clinical indicators after the application of both treatment modalities. The total number of microorganisms was reduced as well as the number of specific microorganisms. Combining aPDT with NSPT led to a statistically significantly higher reduction in the number of microorganisms compared to NSPT alone.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To adapt the supranational European Federation for Periodontology (EFP) S3-Level Clinical Practice Guideline for treatment of periodontitis (stage I-III) to a UK healthcare environment, taking into account the views of a broad range of stakeholders, and patients. SOURCES This UK version is based on the supranational EFP guideline (Sanz et al., 2020) published in the Journal of Clinical Periodontology. The source guideline was developed using the S3-level methodology, which combined the assessment of formal evidence from 15 systematic reviews with a moderated consensus process of a representative group of stakeholders, and accounts for health equality, environmental factors and clinical effectiveness. It encompasses 62 clinical recommendations for the treatment of stage I-III periodontitis, based on a step-wise process mapped to the 2017 classification system. METHODOLOGY The UK version was developed from the source guideline using a formal process called the GRADE ADOLOPMENT framework. This framework allows for the adoption (unmodified acceptance), adaptation (acceptance with modifications) and the de novo development of clinical recommendations. Using this framework and following the S3-process, the underlying systematic reviews were updated and a representative guideline group of 75 delegates from 17 stakeholder organisations was assembled into three working groups. Following the formal S3-process, all clinical recommendations were formally assessed for their applicability to the UK and adoloped accordingly. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION Using the ADOLOPMENT protocol, a UK version of the EFP S3-level clinical practice guideline was developed. This guideline delivers evidence- and consensus-based clinical recommendations of direct relevance to the dental community in the UK. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The aim of S3-level guidelines is to combine the evaluation of formal evidence, grading and synthesis with the clinical expertise of a broad range of stakeholders to form clinical recommendations. Herein, the first major international S3-level guideline in dentistry, the EFP guideline, was implemented for direct clinical applicability in the UK healthcare system.

Abstract
AIM The aim of the present study was to compare the effects of the phenothiazine photosensitizers methylene blue (MB), toluidine blue-O (TBO) and butyl toluidine blue (BuTB) in antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT), as adjuvant therapy to scaling and root planing (SRP) in the treatment of experimental periodontitis (EP) in rats. MATERIAL AND METHODS 120 Wistar rats underwent ligation around the lower left molar. After seven days, the ligature was removed. The animals were separated into the following groups (n = 15): EP, no treatment; SRP, SRP and irrigation with saline solution; MB, SRP and deposition of MB; TBO, SRP and deposition of TBO; BuTB, SRP and deposition of BuTB; MB-aPDT, SRP and aPDT with MB; TBO-aPDT, SRP and aPDT with TBO and; BuTB-aPDT, SRP and aPDT with BuTB. The aPDT session was performed after SRP, with deposition of the photosensitizer and irradiation with a diode laser (DL; InGaAlP, 660 nm, 40 mW, 60 s, 2.4 J). Histological and histometric analysis was performed. RESULTS BuTB-aPDT group had a lesser extent of the inflammatory process compared to the EP, SRP, MB and TBO at all experimental periods (p < 0.05). At 15 days, the aPDT treated groups had a greater bone tissue structure than groups EP and SRP (p < 0.05) The BuTB showed lower Alveolar Bone Loss (ABL) compared to the TBO-aPDT group at 30 days (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION aPDT using the photosensitizer BuTB proved to be the adjuvant therapy that most favored the reduction of inflammatory infiltrate in the furcation area and ABL.

Abstract
Background: In spite of some advances in periodontal generative methods, it is impossible to stop progressive Loss of supporting alveolar bone in some end-stage periodontitis. The aim of this study is to report a kind of treatment modality which was seemed to be successes full in maintaining teeth. In this case-report, a hopeless tooth was saved by combined non-surgical periodontalendodontal treatment and antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT). Case Report: A 58-year-old male presented with a chief complaint of pain and mobility of tooth number 38. Clinical examinations revealed a periodontic-endodontic lesion with clinical attachment loss exceeding 10 mm and grade III mobility. To preserve the tooth, we operated nonsurgical periodontal treatment including scaling and root planning (SRP) plus root canal therapy (RCT) combined with intra-root canal non-aPDT laser decontamination. Then we applied laser pocket therapy with and without aPDT. Following 6 months of the aPDT treatment, the mobility and pocket depth of the tooth improved from grade III to I and from 10 to 3 millimeters respectively. Conclusion: aPDT is a novel adjunctive therapy that can be used for various conditions with microbial etiology. This case report demonstrated that aPDT might be effective in the treatment of periodontic-endodontic lesions in a hopeless tooth.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The recently introduced 2017 World Workshop on the classification of periodontitis, incorporating stages and grades of disease, aims to link disease classification with approaches to prevention and treatment, as it describes not only disease severity and extent but also the degree of complexity and an individual's risk. There is, therefore, a need for evidence-based clinical guidelines providing recommendations to treat periodontitis. AIM The objective of the current project was to develop a S3 Level Clinical Practice Guideline (CPG) for the treatment of Stage I-III periodontitis. MATERIAL AND METHODS This S3 CPG was developed under the auspices of the European Federation of Periodontology (EFP), following the methodological guidance of the Association of Scientific Medical Societies in Germany and the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE). The rigorous and transparent process included synthesis of relevant research in 15 specifically commissioned systematic reviews, evaluation of the quality and strength of evidence, the formulation of specific recommendations and consensus, on those recommendations, by leading experts and a broad base of stakeholders. RESULTS The S3 CPG approaches the treatment of periodontitis (stages I, II and III) using a pre-established stepwise approach to therapy that, depending on the disease stage, should be incremental, each including different interventions. Consensus was achieved on recommendations covering different interventions, aimed at (a) behavioural changes, supragingival biofilm, gingival inflammation and risk factor control; (b) supra- and sub-gingival instrumentation, with and without adjunctive therapies; (c) different types of periodontal surgical interventions; and (d) the necessary supportive periodontal care to extend benefits over time. CONCLUSION This S3 guideline informs clinical practice, health systems, policymakers and, indirectly, the public on the available and most effective modalities to treat periodontitis and to maintain a healthy dentition for a lifetime, according to the available evidence at the time of publication.

[PMID: 33042878 PMCID: PMC7523935 DOI: 10.4103/jispcd.jispcd_241_20] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2020] [Revised: 05/15/2020] [Accepted: 05/22/2020] [Indexed: 01/17/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of the study is to evaluate the various lasers in dentistry and to investigate if it can be used for treatment of refractory periodontitis. METHODS The study followed partially the PRISMA guidelines as it is a narrative review. A number of articles were selected from a period of 1980 to 2020 from databases, PubMed, PubMed central, Cochrane and Scopus. Articles related to the effects of lasers on periodontitis both refractory and aggressive were investigated. RESULTS After reviewing the literature, 70 articles were found, related to application of lasers in periodontal diseases. Out of the 70, 11 articles pertained to the effect of laser for the treatment of Refractory and inflammatory periodontitis. 5 articles related to experimental animal models, one pertaining to in-vitro and six studies related to in-vivo in human cohorts. DISCUSSION It was found that lasers if used in controlled parameters by incorporating laser assisted treatment such as Photodynamic therapy and low level laser therapy can be of use as an adjunct therapy for treatment of refractory periodontitis. The use of different wavelengths in the initial and maintenance phase of periodontal disease plays a positive role. The presence of in-vitro and animal model studies is one of the limitation to this study. The available studies have shown marked reduction in inflammation and better clinical and microbiological parameters. The drawback of this study is the limited literature involving laser management for refractory periodontitis in human cohorts. CONCLUSION Different wavelengths of laser and choice of laser assisted periodontal treatment plays an important role in the overall progress and prognosis of periodontal disease activity.

Impact of Molar Furcations on Photodynamic Therapy Outcomes: A 6-Month Split-Mouth Randomized Clinical Trial. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2020; 17:ijerph17114162. [PMID: 32545223 PMCID: PMC7312923 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph17114162] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/01/2020] [Revised: 06/07/2020] [Accepted: 06/09/2020] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
The effectiveness of adjunctive photodynamic treatment (PDT) to non-surgical periodontal therapy has been shown to depend on initial periodontal status. As molar furcation involvement impairs healing response to non-surgical periodontal therapy, the aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of furcation involvement on PDT outcomes. Thirty-six patients suffering from severe chronic periodontitis were included in a 6-month split-mouth randomized clinical trial. PDT applications used the toluidine blue O and a light-emitting diode (LED) with a red spectrum. Repeated PDT applications were performed in addition to non-surgical periodontal treatment at baseline and at 3-months. Pocket probing depth (PPD), plaque index, bleeding on probing, and clinical attachment level were recorded at baseline, and again at 3- and 6-months. Furcation sites of molars were compared to other sites of molars and non-molars. Multilevel analysis showed no PDT effect in molar furcation sites while an additional significant reduction (odds ratio = 0.67) of pockets with PPD > 5 mm in other sites at 3-months was measured. PPD reduction appeared delayed in molar furcation sites treated with PDT. There is no additional apparent benefit to use PDT in molar furcation sites for the reduction of pockets with PPD > 5 mm contrary to other sites.

Abstract
Introduction:Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease caused by a multitude of pathogens, that eventually affects the entirety of all periodontal tissues and may lead to tooth mobility or even tooth loss. The destruction of said tissues occurs via 2 pathways: a direct pathway (defense mechanisms belonging to the pathogens) and an indirect pathway (the host’s immune system). Therapy is complex and requires strict follow-ups in order to prevent relapse. Aim: Our objective was to determine whether or not aPDT can be considered to be an effective adjunctive approach to the current standard initial treatment method when dealing with periodontitis (scaling/root planing). Methods: We performed an electronical search of the PubMed and ScienceDirect data bases starting from January 2014 and up to May 2019. Eligibility criteria included English-language systematic reviews and randomized clinical trials which evaluated the efficiency of aPDT, and that had been carried out on human subjects with permanent dentition. We excluded studies and reviews that were focused on the microbiology and/or immunology in photodynamic therapy and also those that used other LASER treatment modalities than aPDT. Results: Current literature displays many opinions regarding periodontal therapy with adjunctive aPDT, but it seems to be mainly regarded as a safe, effective and easy-to-use approach. Conclusion: aPDT seems to be efficient in the treatment of periodontitis when carried out additionally to classical scaling/root planing. Residual pockets seem to respond well to aPDT, as opposed to subsequent debridement flap elevation and its consequences on hard and soft tissues. However, further studies with a stricter treatment protocol and subsequent follow-ups are required in order to obtain a firmer conclusion.

Abstract
Background and objective: To evaluate the effects of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) with chloro-aluminum phthalocyanine (AlClFc) adjuvant to scaling and root planing (SRP) on periodontal clinical parameters of patients with chronic periodontitis. Materials and methods: Fifty-four periodontal sites were randomly distributed into two groups: 27 in the test group (SRP+aPDT)-using a low-power laser application Photon Lase III (DMC Equipamentos Ltda, São Carlos, São Paulo, Brazil) with operational parameters of 660 nm and 100 mW for 15 sec, and 27 in the control group (SRP). SRP was performed in a single session and the periodontal clinical parameters such as visible plaque index, bleeding on probing (BOP), probing depth (PD), and clinical attachment level were assessed at the baseline (T0) and 3 months after aPDT (T3). Results: Regarding BOP, a decrease in both treatment groups, the test group (p = 0.003) and control group (p = 0.001), was reported between T0 and T3. A reduction in PD and clinical insertion gain for both treatment groups (p < 0.05) after 3 months of therapy was observed, although nonsignificant (p > 0.05) in intergroup comparison. Conclusions: aPDT with AlClFc adjuvant to SRP did not provide additional benefits in reducing PD and clinical insertion gain.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE It is still challengeable to treat periodontal pockets refractory to mechanical debridement. This study is to evaluate the potential of indocyanine green (ICG)-diode laser-based photothermal therapy (PTT) for solving this dilemma. METHODS Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs) were incubated with phosphate-buffered saline, chlorhexidine, or ICG, non-irradiated or irradiated with 810-nm diode lasers, and the cell viability was evaluated. Patients with teeth refractory to mechanical periodontal debridement on different quadrants were recruited. At baseline (T0), all examined teeth received scaling and root planing, and those on the test quadrant (PTT group) received ICG-diode laser treatment. The outcome was evaluated using clinical parameters and cytokines in the gingival crevicular fluids at 4-6 weeks (T1) and 6 months (T2). RESULTS In ICG-treated cultures, the viability of BMSCs and PDLCs was recovered on day 4, and laser irradiation inhibited the metabolic activities of BMSCs. 22 patients with 30 control teeth and 35 PTT-treated teeth were examined. All examined teeth showed modest reductions in probing pocket depth (PPD), clinical attachment loss (CAL), bleeding upon probing (BOP), and plaque score at T1 and T2 and significant reductions in IL-1β and MMP-8 at T2. Compared with controls, BOP was reduced more prominently, IL-1β and MMP-8 were significantly lower, and reductions in PPD and CAL were slightly greater in the PTT group at T1 (0.05-0.19 mm). CONCLUSION ICG-diode laser-based PTT is compatible to periodontium and assists in faster resolution of gingival inflammation in periodontal pockets refractory to mechanical debridement.

Abstract
PURPOSE The main aim in periodontitis treatment is to remove supragingival and subgingival biofilm. Mechanical treatment to eliminate pathogenic bacteria is limited by morphological conditions on the root surface. This study assessed the antibacterial effectiveness of different laser-based photochemical systems, particularly a novel curcumin-based option. METHODS Ninety-one titanium bars were inoculated with an artificial biofilm of common pathogenic periodontal bacteria and inserted into an artificial periodontal pocket model. The following groups (n = 13) were tested: 1, curcumin solution plus SLB laser irradiation (C + L; 445 nm, 0.6 W, 25% duty cycle, 100 Hz, 10 s); 2, curcumin solution (Cur); 3, dimethyl sulfoxide solution (DMSO); 4, SiroLaser Blue (SLB) - laser irradiation (445 nm, 0.6 W, 25% duty cycle, 100 Hz, 10 s); 5, antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT); 6, antimicrobial photothermal therapy (aPTT); 7, control. The samples were stored in Eppendorf tubes and analyzed microbiologically using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The main parameter for analyzing group differences was the total bacterial load. Statistical analysis was performed with nonparametric methods. RESULTS Statistically significant reductions in bacterial count were observed in all experimental groups (p < 0.05). The mean percentage reductions were as follows: SLB, 95.03%; aPDT, 83.91%; DMSO, 95.69%; C + L, 97.15%. No statistically significant differences in bacteria reduction were observed for laser alone (SLB), DMSO, or curcumin with or without additional laser irradiation. CONCLUSIONS The greatest antibacterial efficacy was observed in samples treated with aPTT. Using curcumin as a photosensitizing agent for 445 nm laser irradiation did not result in improved antibacterial effectiveness in comparison with laser alone.
