In vitro effect of photodynamic therapy on aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans and Streptococcus sanguinis.
New periodontal disease treatments are needed to prevent infection progression. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is one of the greatest pledges for this purpose. It involves the use of light of specific wavelength to activate a nontoxic photosensitizing agent in the presence of oxygen for eradication of target cells, and can be used for photokilling of microorganisms. This study evaluated in vitro th...
متن کاملEffect of Photodynamic Therapy Using Toluidine Blue on Eikenella corrodens and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans Biofilms Adhered to Titanium Discs: An In Vitro Study
Background and aim: Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) has been suggested as a novel technique for decontamination of exposed implant surfaces. We aimed to evaluate the effect of aPDT on sandblasted, large-grit, acid-etched (SLA) titanium discs contaminated with Eikenella corrodens (Ec) and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (Aa). Materials and methods: In this in-vitro study, twenty...
متن کاملThe effect of photodynamic therapy on Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans attached to surface-modified titanium
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of photodynamic therapy (PDT) using erythrosine and a green light emitting diode (LED) light source on biofilms of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans attached to resorbable blasted media (RBM) and sandblasted, large-grit, acid-etched (SLA) titanium surfaces in vitro. METHODS RBM and SLA disks were subdivided into four groups, inc...
متن کاملan in vitro comparison of antimicrobial effects of curcumin-based photodynamic therapy and chlorhexidine, on aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans
introduction: considering the importance of prevention in periodontal diseases and the important role of aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans in induction and progression of these diseases, the aim of the present in vitro study was to compare the antimicrobial effects of chlorhexidine digluconate (chx), curcumin and light-emitting diode (led) laser, on this bacterium. methods: antimicrobial ac...
