Abstract
The relationship between periodontal disease and osteoporosis is well known; a method of photo-activation disinfection (PAD) was proposed. The purpose of the study was to assess the effects of LED PAD and tolonium chloride on periodontal clinical parameters in chronic periodontitis and osteoporosis patients. We recruited 66 patients with chronic periodontitis and osteoporosis, divided in two groups (control group and study group which, besides the conventional therapy measures, also received PAD therapy). The periodontal clinical parameters were registered at baseline and after 3 months. The post-therapy evaluation revealed significantly improved results for the periodontal clinical parameters in the study group, when compared to the control group. Our results support the literature studies conducted on chronic periodontitis patients but without any systemic diseases. The PAD disinfection determined a significant improvement for the periodontal clinical parameters in patients with osteoporosis and periodontal disease.
