Enhancement of erythrosine-mediated photodynamic therapy of Streptococcus mutans biofilms by light fractionation.
OBJECTIVES We aimed to increase the bacterial cell killing efficacy of erythrosine-mediated photodynamic therapy (PDT) of Streptococcus mutans biofilms by fractionating the delivered light dose into a series of shorter pulses. METHODS S. mutans biofilms of 200 microm thickness were grown in a constant-depth film fermenter (CDFF). Biofilms were incubated with 22 microM erythrosine before being...
متن کاملEvaluation of the effect of Kandovan propolis against Streptococcus Mutans
BACKGROUND AND AIM: In recent years, propolis has been introduced as one the most efficient agents against cariogenic bacteria. However, due to the lack of data on the propolis collected from Kandovan (Easthern Azarbaijan, Iran), this study was designed to investigate the effect of this type of propolis on Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans).METHODS: In this experimental study, the ethanolic extra...
متن کاملRecolonization of human tooth surfaces by Streptococcus mutans after suppression by chlorhexidine treatment.
In eight subjects who were initially highly colonized with Streptococcus mutans and who used a 1% chlorhexidine gel, the numbers of this organism were suppressed in both plaque and saliva. Bacterial plaque samples were obtained from all tooth surfaces, and the recolonization pattern of S. mutans was studied over a 26-week period. At baseline, 83% of all surfaces harbored S. mutans with buccal s...
متن کاملPhotoelimination of Streptococcus mutans with two methods of photodynamic and photothermal therapy.
BACKGROUND Increasing resistance of oral pathogens to conventional antibacterial agents has resulted to find alternative therapies to overcome resistance development problems; hence this in vitro study was carried out to investigate the efficacy of photoelimination of Streptococcus mutans with two methods of photodynamic and photothermal therapy. METHODS Standard Suspensions of S. mutans were...
متن کاملSusceptibility of planktonic cultures of Streptococcus mutans to photodynamic therapy with a light-emitting diode.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of photodynamic therapy with erythrosine and rose bengal using a light-emitting diode (LED) on planktonic cultures of S. mutans. Ten S. mutans strains, including nine clinical strains and one reference strain (ATCC 35688), were used. Suspensions containing 10⁶ cells/mL were prepared for each strain and were tested under different experiment...
