The patient underwent complex treatment (oral cavity cleaning, plaque removal, curettage of periodontal pockets), then photodynamic therapy (PDT) with 1% Geleofor gel using a LED emitter. It was found that the use of PDT has a normalizing effect on microcirculation and oxygenation in periodontal tissues.
