Phytodynamic Therapy in Dental Perspective: A Review
Journal Title: Journal of Advanced Medical and Dental Sciences Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 10
Abstract
Photodynamic therapy is an innovative technology that utilizes two non-toxic components, a photo-activating liquid and an LED light source to preferentially mark and destroy cariogenic bacteria and periodontal pathogens. The interaction between photosensitizer (PS) and light with adequate wavelength provides a wide effect spectrum. Photodynamic therapy (PDT), also known as photoactivated disinfection/ photochemotherapy/ photoradiation therapy/ phototherapy, has the potential to be a good alternative to the routine disinfection protocol.
