Abstract Background The use of Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy (aPDT) has been
suggested as an adjuvant method to eliminate facultative bacteria during root canal …

Introduction Photodynamic therapy was introduced as an adjuvant to conventional chemo-
mechanical debridement during endodontic treatment to overcome the persistence of …

Introduction: Elimination of pathological microflora of root canal systems is a major goal in
endodontic treatment. This study aimed to compare the antimicrobial efficacy of calcium …

Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (APDT) combined with endodontic treatment has been
recognized as an alternative approach to complement conventional root canal disinfection …

Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) is increasingly being explored for treatment of
periodontitis. Here, we investigated the effect of aPDT on human dental plaque bacteria in …

The study aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial effect of photodynamic therapy (PDT) with the
use of Toluidine Blue (TB) on extracted teeth infected with biofilms of Enterococcus faecalis …

Objective: To analyze the antimicrobial activity of photo-dynamic therapy as an adjunct to
conventional endodontic treatment, particularly against Enterococcus faecalis. Method and …

Background Failure of endodontic treatment is usually due to an inadequate disinfection of
the root canal system. Enterococcus faecalis has been widely used as a valuable …

Periodontitis, an inflammatory disease, is caused by biofilms with a mixed microbial etiology
and involves the progressive destruction of the tooth-supporting tissues. A rising number of …

Root canal disinfection is one of the main factors governing success of endodontic therapy.
Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) is presented as a promising antimicrobial …
