Photodynamic Therapies in the Treatment of Periodontal Disease

Abstract

Objectives: Many studies in the literature address the effect of photodynamic therapy in the management of pathologies related to periodontal tissue. Due to the lack of standardized information and the absence of a consensus, this review presents the effect of photodynamic therapy (PDT) on microorganisms involved in periodontal diseases. Materials and methods:The literature and original research articles were used to investigate the effect of Photodynamic therapy (PDT) in periodontal diseases. Online MEDLINE/PubMed database were the main source. Google scholar were used a second search date base for online resources where access was not approachable through MEDLINE. Access date were between 01/9/2007and 30/01/2017. The research was confined to English Language literature. The literature search retrieved references on antimicrobial photodynamic therapy.Results: In total, 38 photodynamic relevant articles were included in the review, comprising work completed on a variety of cell types and places. Although results consistently demonstrated the potential of laser irradiation to affect antimicrobial photodynamic therapy in a wavelength and dosagedependent manner, the relevance of other key irradiation parameters, such as irradiance, to such effects remained unclear. Conclusion:The in vivo and in vitro studies present in the literature, indicate that aPDT may potentially become successful. In addition, infectious procedure associated with conventional therapy can be successful in the management of periodontal disease.

Peran photodynamic therapy dalam perawatan periodontal non-bedah
