Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The efficacy of transgingival photodynamic therapy (Tg-PDT) using blue light LED (430-490nm) as an adjunct to subgingival mechanical instrumentation will be evaluated based on clinical and immunological parameters.Timepoint: At baselinse and at 6th week

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To evaluate and compare the clinical and immunological effects of scaling and root planing along with transgingival photodynamic therapy (SRP + Tg–PDT) using blue LED light (430-490nm) and scaling and root planing (SRP) alone in the treatment of generalized periodontitis.Timepoint: baseline and 6 weeks
