FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: method of treating periodontitis involves dental deposit removal, dental polishing, curettage of gingival pockets, functional dental grinding and photodynamic therapy with using a photosensitiser with performing a session of photodynamic therapy using 1% aqueous methylene blue as a photosensitiser; for this purpose, a retraction cord is placed into 1% aqueous methylene blue until immersed completely; an exposition time in the solution makes 7-10 minutes; thereafter, the retraction cord kept in 1% aqueous methylene blue is inserted onto a gum pre-isolated from saliva in the gingival pockets completely within an involved group of teeth for 5-7 min and removed then; further, the gingival pockets treated with the photosensitiser are exposed to a laser light.

EFFECT: possibility to avoid complications related to recurrent photodynamic procedures and occurred when using the gel and installation photosensitisers, enables maintaining the concentration of the drug introduced into the gingival pocket immediately, and higher effect of the photodynamic therapy on microbial flora of periodontal pocket biofilm.
