Caries-related biofilms and associated complications are significant threats in dentistry,
especially when biofilms grow over dental restorations. The inhibition of cariogenic biofilm …

Several studies of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) have been performed to
verify the efficiency of this treatment against caries-related microorganisms. Thus, the aim of …

Objective: The aim of this literature review is to study the effect of photodynamic
antimicrobial chemotherapy (PACT) on mono-and multi-species cariogenic biofilms …

With increasing numbers of antibiotic-resistant pathogens all over the world there is a
pressing need for strategies that are capable of inactivating biofilm-state pathogens with less …

Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) may be useful as a supportive antimicrobial
measure for caries-active subjects. In this study, the antimicrobial efficacy of aPDT with a …

Background There are investigations on multiple photosensitizers for modulation of caries-
related biofilms using PDT. However, much controversy remains about recommended …

Microbial biofilms are responsible for a variety of microbial infections in different parts of the
body, such as urinary tract infections, catheter infections, middle-ear infections, gingivitis …

Background Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy has been proposed as an alternative to
suppress subgingival species. This results from the balance among Streptococcus sanguis …

Several resistance mechanisms are involved in dental caries, including oral biofilms. An
accumulation of bacteria on the surface of teeth is called plaque. Periodontitis and gingivitis …

Photodynamic therapy studies have shown promising results for inactivation of
microorganisms related to dental caries. A large number of studies have used a variety of …
