New developments

Photodynamic disinfection systems combine a non-thermal laser light with a photosensitising solution to target periodontal pathogens that remain after conventional instrumentation. (Periowave, Ondine Biopharma Corporation. Ondine Biopharma Corp. Vancouver, Canada).

Key points

• Despite the bacterial aetiology of periodontal disease, the involvement of indigenous species restricts the use of antibiotics in their management

• Systemic antimicrobials may have an adjunctive role in the management of:

• aggressive periodontitis

• necrotising ulcerative gingivitis and periodontitis

• acute periodontal abscess

• Local antimicrobials can be applied directly to the target site

• Local antimicrobials have shown modest gains in clinical attachment
