Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To evaluate the action of methylene blue in a solution of 0,25% sodium dodecylsulfate in phosphate-buffered saline as an adjunct to the treatment of periodontitis, verifying the amount of colony forming unit of microbiological samples collected before and after the application of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To compare the effect of methylene blue in phosphate-buffered saline with methylene blue in a solution of 0,25% sodium dodecylsulfate in phosphate-buffered saline; evaluating the reduction of periodontal pockets through the following periodontal clinical parameters: clinical probing depth, which measures the distance between the gingival margin and the bottom of the pocket; the bleeding on probing index; and the clinical attachment level, which measures the distance between the enamel-cement junction and the bottom of the pocket | — |
