About this study

Official title: The Evaluation of the Clinical Effects of the KLOX BioPhotonic OraLum Gel With a LED Curing Lamp as an Adjunct to the Non-Surgical Treatment of Moderate to Severe Chronic Periodontitis

Multicenter, prospective, interventional open case series study using a randomized split-mouth design in moderate to severe chronic periodontitis patients having half-mouth treated with the KLOX BioPhotonic OraLum gel with a LED curing lamp as an adjunct to conventional non-surgical periodontal treatment (SRP) versus SRP alone in the second (control) half-mouth.

Being tested
KLOX BioPhotonic OraLum Gel, Scaling and Root Planing (SRP)

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • KLOX BioPhotonic OraLum GelDevice

    Klox BioPhotonic OraLum Gel will be used with a LED curing lamp as an adjunct to conventional non-surgical periodontal treatment (SRP).

  • Scaling and Root Planing (SRP)Procedure or surgery

    Scaling and Root Planing (SRP) is the conventional non-surgical treatment of chronic periodontitis.
