“…This utilizes light to activate a photosensitizing agent in the presence of oxygen. 5 Upon irradiation with light of a specific wavelength, the photosensitizer undergoes a transition from a low-energy ground state to an excited singlet state. Subsequently, the photosensitizer may decay back to its ground state, with emission of fluorescence, or may undergo a transition to a higher-energy triplet state.…”

“…The concept of photodynamic laser therapy itself is very attractive because it selects the target tissue by "marking" it with the photosensitizer, and the therapy (laser energy) is active (focused) only on "marked" cells or tissues. 5 The use of low-level energy lasers (i.e. diode lasers) is reported to exert additional positive effects on the surrounding tissues and cells, and they may further contribute favorably to the healing of periodontal tissues as a result of the potential biomodulatory effects, such as stimulation and proliferation of cells.…”

“…5 They act directly on nerve transmission, with a depolarization process that prevents the diffusion of pain to SNC. 6 Recently a new photosensitizer called Indocyanine green (ICG), also known as cardio green for its FDA approved cardio vascular use, 5 a belongs to family of cyanine dyes has developed. It is widely used in the fields of ophthalmology and cardiac imaging.…”

Photodynamic therapy (PDT), which involves the use of low power lasers with appropriate wavelength to kill cells or microorganisms previously treated with a photosensitizer drug.1 The aim of the present study was to assess the efficacy of photodynamic (PDT) as an adjunct to non –surgical periodontal therapy (SRP) for the treatment of chronic periodontitis. Materials &Method: A split mouth design was used in A total of 20 patients (as per the criteria laid down for selection), 3quadrents were selected in each patient and divided in to three groups. Group A: Received Photodynamic Therapy by means of 0.5% indocyanine green and irradiated by Laser after scaling and root planing. Group B: Received scaling and root planing. Group C: Received laser therapy. The clinical readings and the microbial analysis were done at base line, 1 month and 3 months from the 1st visit. The pre and post-operative values of all parameters were subjected to statistical analysis. Conclusion: PDT+SRP group showed additional improvement than the SRP groups in all parameters were as the results were low in LASER alone group.

With this chapter, our goal is to highlight important research topics in which biophotonics will play a crucial role in the near future. Biophotonics offers tremendous opportunities for applied and fundamental research and has been successfully used for early disease detection and for light-guided/activated therapies. However, there is still an urgent need for the development of a material platform for biophotonic applications, especially biocompatible and biodegradable materials with optimized biological, chemical, optical and mechanical properties. Phosphate glasses are clearly promising biophotonic materials and their use opens the path to the development of clinically relevant biophotonic devices for in vitro optical techniques to be used in situ and in vivo. These new phosphate glasses could be used not only for early detection of diseases but also for effective targeted therapies. They could also re-establish impaired biological functions. We expect these new materials to have a significant influence on the development of new technologies, offering huge commercial rewards worldwide.
