Antibacterial photodynamic therapy (APDT) has drawn increasing attention from the
scientific society for its potential to effectively kill multidrug-resistant pathogenic bacteria and …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a treatment modality that was initiated in 1900; however, it
was not until the last decade that PDT regained attention for its several favourable features …

Pulp canal calcification is characterized by the deposition of calcified tissue along the canal
walls. As a result, the root canal space can become partially or completely obliterated …

Background Any successful endodontic therapy requires elimination of the endodontic
biofilms through meticulous root canal disinfection methods. Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) …

Background and Objectives This study was performed to compare the use of methylene blue
(MB) and rose bengal (RB) in antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (PDT) targeting …

Photo‐activated disinfection using photosensitizers has been proposed as an adjunct to
conventional endodontic therapy for additional disinfection and improved treatment …

Results: CFU/mL analysis showed that CH, NAC and NAC+ PDT promoted greater
antibacterial activity with statistically significant difference compared to saline solution and …

Background This study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial effect and the biofilm disruption
promoted by antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) associated with sodium …

Endodontic therapy of dens invaginatus (DI) anomalies is challenging due to difficult access,
inadequate cleaning and shaping, and incomplete disinfection of its complicated root canal …

The study aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial effect of photodynamic therapy (PDT) with the
use of Toluidine Blue (TB) on extracted teeth infected with biofilms of Enterococcus faecalis …
