Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy: An Unexplored New Field.
For several years, photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been a treatment option for skin conditions such as nonmelanoma skin cancer. Recently, this technique has been studied for skin infections, particularly those in which biofilms have formed. The antibacterial, immunoregulatory, and regenerative effect of PDT may enable healing of antibioticresistant infections and infections at sites with limited...
متن کاملAntimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy: A New Therapeutic Option to Combat Infections
Minimization or elimination of antibiotic resistance in microbial species is an urgent need of the present times. Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy is a new therapeutic option through which development of resistance in microorganisms can be avoided. Interest in the use of photodynamic therapy to combat microbial infection is not only linked to the fact that this technique prevents antibiotic r...
متن کاملPhotodynamic Inactivation of Endopathogenic Microbiota Using Curcumin- mediated Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy
Root canal disinfection is one of the main factors governing success of endodontic therapy. Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) is presented as a promising antimicrobial therapy that can eliminate microbiota present in infected root canal systems. In this study, a series of experiments investigated the effects of aPDT on cell viability and biofilm degradation ability of endopathogenic mic...
متن کاملPhotodynamic therapy for skin field cancerization: an international consensus. International Society for Photodynamic Therapy in Dermatology.
Field cancerization is a term that describes the presence of genetic abnormalities in a tissue chronically exposed to a carcinogen. These abnormalities are responsible for the presence of multilocular clinical and sub-clinical cancerous lesions that explains the increased risks of multiple cancers in this area. With respect to the skin, this term is used to define the presence of multiple non-m...
