Photodynamic Treatment as Part of Oral Healthcare on Persons With Sjögren's Syndrome

"Lumoral® Treatment devices are handed over to study participants on the first visit. The treatment is performed first at the clinic under supervision by the researchers. Treatment is then repeated at home twice a week for 12 weeks.~The treatment is started by dissolving one 7 mg Lumorinse® oral tablet in 30 ml amount of pure water. The tablet dissolves in water in one minute, after which the mouthwash is poured into the mouth and swished for 60 seconds. The indocyanine green in the mouthwash adheres to the plaque surface in the teeth and gum line. The mouthwash is then spat out and the mouthpiece of the Lumoral® Treatment device is inserted into the mouth and a light is activated. After 10 minutes, the device turns itself off, after which the mouthpiece is removed from the mouth. Normal oral hygiene routines will then be performed."
