Abstract:Adjunctive therapies to non-surgical periodontal treatment have
significant advantages in susceptible patients as it helps to modulate
the host immune response. In this study, we compare the effectiveness of
oxygen releasing gel (BM) alone, or associated with photodynamic therapy
(PDT), after scaling and root planning (SRP), as adjuvants in the
treatment of ligature-induced experimental periodontitis (EP) in rats.
Our findings indicate that treatment with BM, PDT, and BM+PDT groups at
both 7 and 30 days result… Show more
