NCT05698823Completed
Regular Home-use of Dual-light Photodynamic Therapy in the Management of Chronic Stage III-IV Periodontitis
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 19 Mar 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This study is designed to determine the efficacy of the Lumoral method in chronic periodontitis with a targeted group of stage III and IV periodontitis. Improved supragingival plaque control can help to also sustain the subgingival plaque management in the long term. In addition, the method might have a photobiomodulation effect on periodontal tissues.
