Antimicrobial photodynamic chemotherapy mediated by PapaMBlue on chronic periodontal disease: Study protocol for a randomized, blind, controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The elimination of the pathogenic microorganisms of the periodontal pocket is one of the main points for success in periodontal treatment. The objective of this study is to investigate the clinical and antimicrobial effect of papain-mediated photodynamic therapy in the clinical treatment of periodontal disease.
