Endodontic Disinfection Using Photodynamic Therapy with Indocyanine Green dye (ICG).
Journal Title: International Journal of Dental Science and Innovative Research (IJDSIR) - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Aim: To analyze the antimicrobial effect of photodynamic therapy (PDT) in association with endodontic treatment. Methods: Thirty anterior teeth from patients were selected. Microbiological samples were taken 1) after access canal preparation, 2) endodontic therapy, and 3) after PDT. After the three samples were collected, the root canal was filled with calcium hydroxide, and after 1 week, a second session of the therapies was performed. Results: PDT used Indocyanine green dye as a photo-sensitizer and a diode laser as a light source. The samples collected after endodontic therapy showed decreased bacterial load, whereas the combination of endodontic therapy with PDT showed remarkable decrease in the bacterial load. Conclusion: The use of Indocyanine green dye as a photo-sensitizer in PDT along with endodontic treatment leads to an enhanced decrease of bacterial load and may be an appropriate approach for the treatment of root canal.
