Comparison of antibacterial effect of photodynamic therapy using indocyanine green (Emundo) with 2% metronidazole and 2% chlorhexidine gel on Porphyromonas gingivalis (an in-vitro study)

It can be concluded that within the limitations of this in-vitro study, although photodynamic therapy with Emundo reduced the amount of P. gingivalis significantly, the use of metronidazole 2% in Orabase performed better in terms of reducing the amount of the bacteria. Also, the antibacterial effect of 2% CHX gel on P. gingivalis was significantly more than photodynamic therapy with Emundo.
