Abstract:
Good oral hygiene at home is the foundation for optimal treatment response and long-term periodontal disease control. Antibacterial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) provides a very potent adjunctive treatment for plaque control. However, the literature regarding repeated aPDT use is sparse. aPDT has been a modality applied mainly in the dental office environment, and when applied once a year or every few months, the results have been usually disappointing. Recently, LED development has brought aPDT for repeated and practical use at home. We present the very positive results and clinical outcome of daily applied dual-light aPDT-technology treatment in conjunction with mechanical cleaning of a 78-year-old male patient with severe periodontal disease (Stage IV and Grade B).
摘要:
在家中良好的口腔卫生是最佳治疗反应和长期控制牙周病的基础。抗菌光动力疗法(aPDT)为斑块控制提供了非常有效的辅助治疗。然而,关于重复使用aPDT的文献很少。aPDT是一种主要应用于牙科诊所环境的模式,每年或每隔几个月申请一次,结果通常令人失望。最近,LED的发展为家庭带来了重复和实际使用的aPDT。我们介绍了一名78岁的患有严重牙周病(IV期和B级)的男性患者的日常应用双光aPDT技术治疗以及机械清洁的非常积极的结果和临床结果。
