Background The main goal of periodontal therapy is to eliminate the spread of infection in
the periodontium. Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) is a bactericidal method that …

Although chemical‐based root canal disinfectants are important to reduce microbial loads
and remove infected smear layer from root dentin, they have only a limited ability to …

Objective: The purpose of this study was to report the application of antimicrobial
photodynamic therapy (aPDT) via sinus tract associated with laser phototherapy (LPT) in …

Introduction The aim of the present study was to investigate ex vivo by confocal laser
scanning microscopy the antibacterial effect of photodynamic therapy (PDT) on dentinal …

Background The antibacterial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) has been used in dentistry
against oral microorganisms because of its excellent biocide effect. However, for carious …

Objective: Aim of the study was to improve the antibacterial efficacy of toluidine blue
(TBO)/methylene blue (MB)-mediated photodynamic systems with light-emitting diode (LED) …

Objective To explore the effectiveness, biosafety, photobleaching and mechanism of
antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) using methylene blue (MB) plus potassium …

Periodontitis is initiated by causative bacteria in the gingival sulcus. However, as the lesion
is often deep and out of circulation system and biofilm is frequently formed on the bacteria …

Aim: This study aimed to determine the feasibility and first efficacy of indocyanine green
(ICG)-assisted antimicrobial photodynamictherapy (aPDT) as activated using LED light to …

The persistence of microorganisms in the root canal system is one of the leading causes of
root canal treatment failure. Root canal anatomy is complex, and it is often a challenge to …
