Registry of Trialsclinicaltrials.gov
Year 2023
The goal of this controlled clinical trial is to investigate the impact of regular home use of Lumoral device as an adjunct treatment compared to non-surgical periodontitis treatment (NSPT) alone on biofilm removal and host response in Stage III and Grade C smoking periodontitis patients at 6 months.The main question aims to answer is: • Does regular use of dual-light photodynamic therapy benefit NSPT in Stage III and Grade C smoking periodontitis patients? 30 participants will be asked to use Lumoral device every night before performing oral hygiene for 10 minutes, while the other 30 patients will be asked to perform only oral hygiene. Both of these groups will receive NSPT and will be followed for 6 months from baseline.
