The current study is a prospective randomised study-Comparison of photodisinfection with chitosan nanoparticles enriched indocyanine green over indocyanine green as an adjunct to open flap debridement in the management of stage II/III grade B/C periodontitis.
A total of 24 patients fulfilling inclusion criteria will be randomly assigned into two treatment groups (Test and Control). Open flap debridement followed by photodynamic therapy using dyes is carried out. Test group (n=12) - PDT with Chitosan nanoparticles enriched ICG Control group(n=12) - PDT with ICG Microbial levels of P.gingivalis is analysed with PCR analysis on baseline and 3 months after intervention.

Respective photosensitive dye solution is applied on to the surgical site, including all the root surfaces. Vacuum suction is used to remove the excess dye from the site and to prevent ingestion of the dye solution The dye is activated with 810nm diode laser with continuous wave frequency and power of 0.3 W with 400 µm fiber tip for 20 seconds/spot. After this, the area is irrigated with saline.
