“…The elimination rates of the bacteria were found to vary between 95 and 99.9 %. In a similar in vitro study of Bevilacqua et al (2007), S. mutans was completely eliminated and biofilm formation was prevented by APDT using 100 mg TB ml 21 and LED light at 2.18 J cm 22 . However, favourable antimicrobial effects can be achieved at a much lower TB concentration of 5 mg ml 21 according to the outcome of our research.…”

“…É bem conhecido que TBO é capaz de reduzir significantemente a contagem de UFC de bactérias Grampositivas e Gram-negativas no escuro [23,24]. TBO difunde-se facilmente pela membrana plasmática devido ao seu alto coeficiente de permeabilidade trans-membrana, capacidade hidrofílica e baixo peso molecular [25,27].…”

“…TBO difunde-se facilmente pela membrana plasmática devido ao seu alto coeficiente de permeabilidade trans-membrana, capacidade hidrofílica e baixo peso molecular [25,27]. Sendo assim, TBO se torna progressivamente mais concentrado dentro da célula, contribuindo para sua toxicidade [23,25].…”
