ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is studying how two treatments can help people with aggressive periodontitis, a severe form of gum disease. The treatments being tested are called antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) and leukocyte and platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF). The aPDT uses light and special agents to kill harmful bacteria in the gums, while L-PRF, made from a patient’s own blood, helps heal and regenerate gum tissue. The goal is to see how these treatments work together and if they can improve the health of gums in patients with this condition.
To participate in the trial, individuals must be healthy, non-smokers, and not have had any periodontal treatments or taken certain medications in the past six months. They should also be able to manage their oral hygiene without any physical limitations. Participants will receive either one of the treatments or a combination of both and will be monitored for their progress. This study may provide valuable insights into better ways to treat aggressive periodontitis and improve dental health.
