A Study on Revealing Agents in the Context of Photodynamic Therapy in Dental Medicine - A Literature Review

Article Preview

Abstract:

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) also known as Phototherapy or Photo chemotherapy involves the use of a photoactive dye (photosensitive) which is activated by exposure to light of a certain wavelength in the presence of oxygen. Dentists have to deal regularly with oral infections which untreated may cause systemic infections. Oral infections such as caries, periodontal infections and infections of the oral mucosa are available lighting so photodynamic therapy is particularly suitable for oral diseases [1,2]. Antimicrobial chemical treatment is nowadays widely used in the prophylaxis and treatment of inflammation-induced plaque with the risk of resistance development. The use of photodynamic therapy as a therapeutic approach can eliminate this risk, however. Studies in the literature show that both Gram-positive bacteria and Gram-negative bacteria are susceptible to the treatment. Among the advantages of using this method is counted rapid elimination of bacteria, minimal chances of developing bacterial resistance and safety in terms of host tissue and existing normal microflora in the oral cavity [3]. Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) by photochemical reaction uses light at a specific wavelength to activate a nontoxic photosensitizer (PS) in the presence of oxygen to produce cytotoxic products. There are different PSs used in dentistry including methylene blue (MB), toluidine blue O (TBO), indocyanine green (ICG) and curcumin [4].
