Gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) was obtained from 2 human studies conducted in university settings.MethodsThe EG study enrolling 26 volunteers provided controls for the baseline (Day 0) from healthy disease‐free participants, while Day 21 (the end of EG induction of the same group) was used to represent EG. Twenty‐six NG participants age‐matched with those of the EG group were recruited. GCF samples were analyzed for 39 mediators of inflammatory/immune responses and tissue remodeling using commercially available bead‐based multiplex immunoassays. The differences in GI and mediator expression among groups were determined at a 95% confidence level (<jats:italic>p</jats:italic> ≤ 0.05) by a 2‐way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with a post‐hoc Tukey's test.ResultsOur findings showed that EG had a greater gingival index than NG and was healthy (<jats:italic>p</jats:italic> &lt; 0.01 of all comparisons). Furthermore, EG showed significantly higher levels of MPO (<jats:italic>p</jats:italic> &lt; 0.001), CCL3 (<jats:italic>p</jats:italic> &lt; 0.05), and IL‐1B (<jats:italic>p</jats:italic> &lt; 0.001) than NG.

Compared to the control group, the repeated-PDT group showed a notable improvement in PPD, substantial alterations in the microbial profile, including a reduction in <i>α</i>-diversity and anaerobic bacteria, and an increase in aerobic bacteria at Week 2. Secondary outcomes, such as clinical attachment level and sulcus bleeding index, also showed improvement at Week 8. Furthermore, both the single- and repeated-PDT groups exhibited a decrease in periodontopathogens and an increase in beneficial bacteria compared with baseline.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Conclusion</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>PDT promotes changes in the microbial composition of periodontitis patients’ subgingival plaque in a direction favorable to periodontal health, and repeated PDT is a promising adjunctive therapy for periodontal treatment.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":16716,"journal":{"name":"Journal of periodontology","volume":"95 6","pages":"535-549"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140158371","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
