Abstract

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Subgingival plaque samples collected from chronic periodontitis patients were cultured anaerobically for 72 h. Predetermined number of colonies of each bacterium was taken and was then divided into cases and control groups. Both groups were photosensitized using toluidine blue O (TBO) dye and the case groups were irradiated with Ga-As laser. Bacterial colonies were then serially diluted and were incubated for subculture. After incubation period, the number of viable bacterial count was performed.

STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: Wilcoxon-signed rank test was carried out to determine significance of reduction on subsequent dilution within the bacterial group. Mann-Whitney U-test was performed to determine the significance of reduction between cases and control of particular bacterial group.

RESULTS: The results revealed substantial reduction in the viable bacterial count.

CONCLUSION: Photodynamic Therapy may prove to be a promising method for eradicating periodontopathic bacteria in near future.
