Abstract
Aim Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a minimally invasive treatment modality that has been used clinically for early stage and inoperable cancers. Successful use of this atraumatic therapy in osteoradionecrosis (ORN) and osteonecrosis of the jaws (ONJ) has been documented in the literature. The aim of this review was to systematically evaluate the role of photodynamic therapy in ORN and ONJ. Methods Two independent reviewers conducted an elaborate search in PubMed, Google Scholar and Cochrane's CENTRAL database for studies published on PDT as stand-alone or adjuvant therapy in ORN/ONJ until June 2022. The present study was based on Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses. Demographic data, type and stage of necrosis of the jaws, site, PDT protocol, time to heal and follow-up were evaluated. Eighteen articles were included totally based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria for final analysis. Results A total of 94 patients were included in the present review out of which 36 were males and 58 were females. Five studies reported the use of PDT as an adjuvant therapy in ORN. Thirteen studies reported successful outcomes with PDT in ONJ. Complete epithelialization was achieved with PDT ± other adjuvants in 86/94 (91.48%) patients. The time taken for regression of the lesion ranged between 4 days and 12 months with PDT in the present study. Conclusion The reviewed studies demonstrate the effectiveness of PDT, as an adjuvant therapy, in managing various stages of ORN and ONJ.

Abstract
Osteoradionecrosis of the jaw (ORNJ) is a feared complication following radiation therapy performed for oncological treatment of head and neck cancers (HNC). To date, there is no clear evidence regarding the impact of surgical treatment of ORNJ on the quality of life (QoL) of affected patients. However, understanding the significance of the surgical treatment approach and its effects on QoL is an essential factor in the decision-making process for optimal, individualized therapy. In this prospective clinical study, QoL was assessed in relation to health related QoL (HRQoL) and oral health related QoL (OHQoL) before and after surgical treatment of ORNJ using standardized questionnaires (EORTC QLQ-C30, QLQ-HN35, OHIP-14). The overall QoL scores as well as individual domains of the collected scales regarding functional and symptom-related complaints were statistically analyzed. Subgroups concerning age, gender, different risk factors and type of ORNJ therapy were compared using Kruskal Wallis test. In addition, clinical and demographic patient data were collected and analyzed. QoL improvement correlated with the type of surgical ORNJ and the length of hospitalization. Better QoL scores were achieved post-operatively regarding different symptoms like pain, swallowing and mouth opening. Long-term effects of radiation therapy remained visibly restrictive to QoL and worsen over time.

The effect of antibacterial photodynamic therapy with diode laser on chromogenic bacteria associated with dental black staining: An in-vitro study. Photodiagnosis Photodyn Ther 2023; 44:103761. [PMID: 37634607 DOI: 10.1016/j.pdpdt.2023.103761] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2023] [Revised: 08/20/2023] [Accepted: 08/21/2023] [Indexed: 08/29/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitan (A.a) and Actinomyces naeslundii (A.n) are two gram-negative chromogenic bacteria involved in the formation of dental black stainings. Our study aimed to investigate the antibacterial effect of photodynamic therapy (aPDT) using two photosensitizers, Methylene Blue (MB) and Indocyanine Green (ICG). MATERIALS AND METHODS In this in-vitro study, two isolates of each selected bacterium were cultured and treated as follows; Negative control with no treatment; CHX as a positive control; ICG; MB; ICG with 808 nm laser activation; and MB with 660 nm laser activation. The number of colonies (CFU/mL) was determined to compare the groups. The qualitative evaluation of biofilm formation was done by scanning electron microscopy of treated enamel pieces. The logarithmic values of the colony counts were compared using One-way ANOVA and the Welch test Tukey HSD and Games-Howell tests were used for multiple comparisons. P-values of less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant. RESULTS The use of ICG alone or along with laser irradiation at the wavelength of 808 nm significantly reduced the number of colonies of A.a and A.n bacteria. Comparing the colony counts in the MB group with the positive control showed no significant decrease in bacterial load. On the contrary, activation of MB with 660 nm radiation of diode laser showed a significant antibacterial effect. The density of bacterial biofilm was significantly lower in the groups treated with MB and ICG without laser activation than in the control group; however, the reduction in bacteria biofilm density was more robust using photodynamic therapy with ICG. CONCLUSION aPDT using MB with 660 nm laser and ICG with 808 nm laser significantly reduced the number of chromogenic A.a and A.n bacteria, and photodynamic therapy with ICG was proven to be significantly more effective than MB with or without laser radiation.

Abstract
A wound offers an ideal environment for the growth and proliferation of a variety of microorganisms which, in some cases, may lead to localised or even systemic infections that can be catastrophic for the patient; the development of biofilms exacerbates these infections. Over the past few decades, there has been a progressive development of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in microorganisms across the board in healthcare sectors. Such resistant microorganisms have arisen primarily due to the misuse and overuse of antimicrobial treatments, and the subsequent ability of microorganisms to rapidly change and mutate as a defence mechanism against treatment (e.g., antibiotics). These resistant microorganisms are now at such a level that they are of grave concern to the World Health Organization (WHO), and are one of the leading causes of illness and mortality in the 21st century. Treatment of such infections becomes imperative but presents a significant challenge for the clinician in that treatment must be effective but not add to the development of new microbes with AMR. The strategy of antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) has stemmed from the need to counteract these resistant microorganisms and requires that current antimicrobial treatments be used wisely to prevent amplification of AMR. It also requires new, improved or alternative methods of treatment that will not worsen the situation. Thus, any antimicrobial treatment should be effective while not causing further development of resistance. Some antiseptics fall into this category and, in particular, polyhexamethylene hydrochloride biguanide (PHMB) has certain characteristics that make it an ideal solution to this problem of AMR, specifically within wound care applications. PHMB is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial that kills bacteria, fungi, parasites and certain viruses with a high therapeutic index, and is widely used in clinics, homes and industry. It has been used for many years and has not been shown to cause development of resistance; it is safe (non-cytotoxic), not causing damage to newly growing wound tissue. Importantly there is substantial evidence for its effective use in wound care applications, providing a sound basis for evidence-based practice. This review presents the evidence for the use of PHMB treatments in wound care and its alignment with AMS for the prevention and treatment of wound infection.

Abstract
Surgical trauma in those under a prolonged use of bisphosphonates, can lead to mediation-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). This study aimed to evaluate the preventive therapies for MRONJ. Following four cycles of zoledronic acid administration, Wistar rats had their molar extracted, and were organized into nine treatment groups: negative control group (NCG), treated with saline solution and blood-clot in the alveolus; positive control group (PCG), with blood-clot in the alveolus; BG, β-tricalcium phosphate-based biomaterial; DG, 10% doxycycline gel; aG, antimicrobial photodynamic therapy; and DBG, aBG, aDG, and aDBG, using combination therapy. After 28 days, the lowest bone volume (BV/TV) was reported in PCG (42.17% ± 2.65), and the highest in aDBG (69.85% ± 6.25) (p < 0.05). The higher values of daily mineral apposition rate were recorded in aDBG (2.64 ± 0.48) and DBG (2.30 ± 0.37) (p < 0.001). Moreover, aDBG presented with the highest neoformed bone area (82.44% ± 2.69) (p < 0.05). Non-vital bone was reported only in the PCG (37.94 ± 18.70%). Owing to the key role of the biomaterial, the combination approach (aDBG) was the most effective in preventing MRONJ following tooth extraction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study investigated the effect of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (PDT), using methylene blue (MBO) and photobiomodulation therapy (PT), on the alveolar bone of rats submitted to bisphosphonate-induced osteonecrosis of the maxillaries (OMB) model using zoledronic acid (ZA). METHODS Sixty rats divided into six groups were used: SALINE, PDT, ZA, ZA+PDT, ZA+PT, and ZA+MBO. Three weekly administrations (Days 0, 7, and 14) of ZA 0.20 mg/kg or saline solution were performed. After one month (Day 42), the exodontia of the left lower first molars were performed. An additional dose of ZA was administered at Day 49. PDT was performed on days 42, 45, 49, and 54. One month after exodontia (Day 70), the animals were euthanized to obtain samples for imaging and microscopic analysis. ANOVA/Bonferroni tests were used for statistical analysis. RESULTS The ZA+PDT group showed a significantly lower percentage of apoptotic osteocytes than the ZA group (p<0.001). The ZA+MBO, ZA+PT, and PDT groups significantly reduced the number of mononuclear cells compared to the ZA group (p<0.001). The ZA+PT and ZA+PDT groups showed a significant reduction in the number of CD 68+ (p<0.001) and CD3+ (p=0.002) cells compared to the ZA group. The number of cells expressing INF-y had a significant reduction in the groups co-treated with PT and PDT compared to the ZA group (p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS We conclude that PDT and PT attenuated the severity of OMB and the inflammatory process due to a reduction of macrophages, T lymphocytes, and cytokines that stimulate the activity of these cells.

Abstract
The widespread increase of antibiotic resistance highlights the need for alternative treatments such as antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT). This study aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial behavior and cytotoxicity of aPDT with indocyanine green (ICG) in combination with visible light (Vis) and water-filtered infrared A (wIRA). Representative periodontal bacteria (Parvimonas micra, Atopobium riame, Slackia exigua, Actinomyces naeslundii, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Fusobacterium nucleatum, Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, and Prevotella nigrescens) and subgingival in situ biofilms from periodontal patients were treated with aPDT for 5 min. ICG was used at different concentrations (50–500 µg/mL) and the number of viable cells was determined in colony forming units (CFU). Untreated negative controls and 0.2% chlorhexidine as a positive control were also prepared. The cytotoxicity test on human keratinocytes in vitro was analyzed with the AlamarBlue assay after 5, 10, and 20 min, with four ICG concentrations, and at two temperatures (room temperature and 37 °C). The tested periodontal pathogens treated with aPDT were eliminated in a range between 1.2 and 6.7 log10 CFU, except for A. naeslundii, which was killed at a lower range. The subgingival biofilm treated with aPDT expressed significant differences to the untreated controls except for at 300 µg/mL ICG concentration. The cytotoxicity was directly related to the concentration of ICG and irradiation time. These observations raise questions concerning the use of this specific aPDT as an adjuvant to periodontal treatments due to its possible toxicity towards human gingival cells.

Abstract
Dental implants are the most common rehabilitation and restorative treatment used to replace missing teeth. Biofilms adhere to implant surfaces to trigger implant-associated infection and inflammatory response. Clinically, the biofilm induces a local host response with the infiltration of phagocytic immune cells. The pro-inflammatory surroundings set off osteoclastogenesis, which leads to the septic loosening of the implant. The standard of dental care for implant-associated infection relies on a combination of surgery and antimicrobial therapy. Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy is a noninvasive and photochemistry-based approach capable of reducing bacterial load and modulating inflammatory responses. In this review, we explore the photobiomodulation and disinfection outcomes promoted by photodynamic therapy for implant infections, highlighting the quality of evidence on the most up-to-date studies, and discuss the major challenges on the advance of these therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
CASE REPORT We report on a patient with a history of radiotherapy to the head and neck region exhibiting necrotic bone exposure associated with fistula and purulent exudation in the mandible, with the diagnosis of stage 3 osteoradionecrosis, in addition to a periapical cyst in the maxillary anterior region and multiple root remnants. An antibiotic coverage protocol with amoxicillin and metronidazole was prescribed for subsequent necrotic bone removal. The surgical procedure was performed along with the aPDT using methylene blue and red light, followed by coaptation of the edges of the surgical wound and the healing protocol with LLLT. The extraction of non-rehabilitated teeth was performed two per session using antibiotic coverage, aPDT, and LLLT and mouthwash with 0.12 % chlorhexidine was prescribed until the complete closure of the surgical wound was achieved. Additionally, two aPDT sessions and four LLLT protocols were performed for complete healing of the surgical sites. Extra and intraoral examinations and panoramic and periapical radiographs were performed. No emergence or recurrence of osteonecrosis was observed after 12 months of follow-up.

Abstract
The use of cold atmospheric pressure plasma (CAPP) as a bacterial decontaminant for chronic wounds has shown good results. The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the bactericidal effects of CAPP on the cancellous area of the bone. Sterile glass slides and processed sterile human bone allografts 1, 2, 3, and 4mm thick were used for initial contamination and further CAPP treatment. Each block was contaminated with Staphylococcus aureus suspension on one side. Each slide was turned 180° and treated on the reverse side. The bacterial count in colony-forming units (CFU) was then measured and compared with that of a control group, and the bactericidal effects of CAPP in relation to bone density evaluated. A significant reduction in count was measured between treated and untreated groups (groups A-D: p<0.01 and group E: p=0.04). A strong positive linear relation was found between bone density and the S aureus count (r=0.844, p=0.156). Treatment with CAPP had a bactericidal effect on bone structures with a penetration depth of up to 4mm. It might be used for all diseases involving infected bone, and so extends the existing range of treatments.

Antimicrobial photodynamic and photobiomodulation adjuvant therapies for prevention and treatment of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws: Case series and long-term follow-up. Photodiagnosis Photodyn Ther 2020; 29:101651. [PMID: 31923636 DOI: 10.1016/j.pdpdt.2020.101651] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2019] [Revised: 12/06/2019] [Accepted: 01/03/2020] [Indexed: 01/03/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaws (MRONJ) incidence are increasing among elderly. Treatment can be challenging. Prevent or treatment protocols that control evolution of the lesion are warranted. OBJECTIVE To observe long-term outcomes of two protocols based on photonics [antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) and photobiomodulation (PBM)] for prevention and treatment of MRONJ lesions. METHODS In a prospective study, patients who needed oral surgery and had been exposed to antiresorptive drugs were long-term followed-up. For MRONJ prevention, immediately after tooth extraction aPDT was applied. For aPDT a 0.01 % methylene blue solution was applied inside socket for 5 min followed by irradiation with a diode laser [660 nm, 0.028cm2, 0.1 W, 3.57 W/cm2, 90 s and 9 J per point, 321 J/cm2, at least at in 3 points (laser probe was placed at central, and two equidistant points) and total energy of 27J]. Irradiation was repeated weekly until total tissue repair. MRONJ treatment included preoperative aPDT sessions until signs and symptoms of infection had reduced. Then, after necrotic bone removal, aPDT was applied inside surgical wounds and re-applied weekly until healing. Antibiotics were administered pre or postoperatively for no longer than 7 days. PBM therapy was applied with 808 nm diode laser, 0.028cm2, 0.1 W, 3.57 W/cm2, 30 s, 107 J/cm², 3 J and total energy of 12 J until evidence of remission. RESULTS Eighteen patients underwent preventive protocol, and none presented signs of MRONJ after a follow-up of at least 6 months. Seventeen patients presented with MRONJ underwent aPDT protocol and sixteen of them showed total regression of lesions. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS aPDT and PBM therapy protocols appear to be effective as adjuvant approach not only for preventing MRONJ development due to tooth extraction but for treating MRONJ lesions at early stages with no adverse effects.

Abstract
The ability of resource-dependent communities to adapt to climate change depends in part on their perceptions and prioritization of specific climate-related threats. In the Maine lobster fishery, which is highly vulnerable to warming water associated with climate change, we found a strong majority (84%) of fishers viewed warming water as a threat, but rank its impacts lower than other drivers of change (e.g., pollution). Two-thirds believed they will be personally affected by warming waters, but only half had plans to adapt. Those with adaptation plans demonstrated fundamentally different views of human agency in this system, observing greater anthropogenic threats, but also a greater ability to control the fishery through their own actions on the water and fisheries management processes. Lack of adaptation planning was linked to the view that warming waters result from natural cycles, and the expectation that technological advancements will help buffer the industry from warming waters.

Abstract
This study evaluated the effects of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) in the alveolar repair of rats with major risk factors for bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (BRONJ). Senile rats received 0.45 ml of vehicle (VEH and VEH/aPDT) or 0.45 ml of zoledronate (ZOL and ZOL/aPDT) every three days for seven weeks. After three weeks of treatment, the first lower left molar was extracted. VEH/aPDT and ZOL/aPDT were submitted to aPDT on the extraction site at 0, 2 and 4 days postoperatively. Euthanasia was performed 28 days postoperatively and the extraction site was evaluated by clinical, histological, histometric, histochemical and immunohistochemical analysis. ZOL showed tissue repair impairment; lower percentage of newly formed bone tissue (NFBT); higher percentage of non-vital bone tissue (NVBT); fewer mature collagen fibers and increased immunolabeling for tumor necrosis factor (TNFα), interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-6. ZOL/aPDT showed clinical and histological characteristics of the extraction site, percentage of NFBT and percentage of mature collagen fiber similar to VEH. Percentage of NVBT and immunolabeling for inflammatory cytokines in ZOL/aPDT was lower than in ZOL. Immunolabeling for tartarato-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) was lower in ZOL and ZOL/aPDT. aPDT in the dental extraction site improves tissue repair process and prevents the occurrence of BRONJ-like lesions after tooth extraction.

Comparison of the bactericidal effect of cold atmospheric pressure plasma (CAPP), antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT), and polihexanide (PHX) in a novel wet surface model to mimic oral cavity application. J Craniomaxillofac Surg 2018; 46:2197-2202. [PMID: 30316654 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcms.2018.09.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/26/2018] [Revised: 08/21/2018] [Accepted: 09/10/2018] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE Cold atmospheric pressure plasma (CAPP) is increasingly used for medical applications. The first devices are available from commercial manufactures, promising to improve wound healing and disinfection. The underlying antimicrobial mechanisms of CAPP are discussed, while the first results on its bactericidal efficiency against common bacterial species have already been published, with promising results. Most of the plasma sources used in these studies were built by the investigators themselves, and are not commercially available or licensed for clinical use. To evaluate the postulated bactericidal effects in clinical practice, we studied a commercially available, ready-to-use CAPP-device, which is also designed to be used in the field of dental, oral, and maxillofacial treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS Standardized bacterial cultures of two different pathogens (Acinetobacter baumannii and Staphylococcus aureus) were produced with defined colony-forming unit concentrations. Dilutions of these cultures were treated with a commercially available CAPP product according to the manufacturer's instructions in order to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of the technique. This in vitro study compared the CAPP treatment with established clinical therapies like polihexanide (PHX) and antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT). RESULTS The bactericidal effect was evaluated in terms of reduction in colony-forming units after treatment of the bacterial samples with a defined dose of plasma, aPDT, or PHX. For CAPP, the bactericidal effect was found to be stronger in the Gram-negative isolate (A. baumannii) than in the Gram-positive S. aureus. A strong depth dependency was observed, especially with the Gram-negative isolate. Good bactericidal effects, with a reduction in bacterial load of more than 2 × log10, could only be observed in conditions of 0.3 mm of water-film thickness or less. Such a significant reduction in bactericidal effect depending on depth was not observed using aPDT or PHX in the studied depth range of 0.3-1.8 mm. CONCLUSION CAPP treatment performed by the device (Plasma ONE) and configuration we used in this study seems to be ill suited for sufficiently killing Acinetobacter baumannii or Staphylococcus aureus in a moist infection site, as would be expected in the oral cavity. Established local antimicrobial therapies using PHX or aPDT showed better disinfectant properties. The clinical effect of improved wound healing, described by the manufacturer and some scientists, could not be investigated using this model. Given the results, however, it seems unlikely to be a direct consequence of bactericidal effects of CAPP in a wet environment. Further development of CAPP devices, or a different configuration (e.g. with a higher output, resulting in reactive nitrogen species-dominated, gas-phase chemistry), may enhance antibacterial effects in future, while tissue compatibility of such techniques remains to be elucidated further.

Abstract
Introduction The management of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ), with no evidence-based guidelines, remains controversial. We aimed to evaluate the efficiency of a conservative surgical treatment combining Er,Cr:YSGG laser and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for the treatment of BRONJ in cancer patients. Methods We performed a longitudinal cohort study. Inclusion criteria were (1) age ≥ 18 years; (2) cancer diagnosis; (3) treatment with NBP because of the underlying cancer. Results We consecutively recruited ten patients diagnosed with BRONJ in stage I or II. These patients underwent a surgical laser-assisted therapy together with autologous PRP. At the latest follow-up at 12 months, clinical improvement was observed in eight patients. Registration Number is IRCT20180329039159N1. Conclusion We could successfully manage the BRONJ utilizing this combined protocol to heal the 30% of surgically treated sites and to improve the 50% of patients' lesions clinically. Our findings suggest that a surgical approach combined with Er,Cr:YSGG laser and PRP benefit cancer patients with general health issues.

Abstract
Antiseptic solutions are commonly utilized to treat local infection in the oral and maxillofacial region. However, surrounding vital bone is also exposed to antiseptic agents during irrigation and may have a potential negative impact on bone survival. The aim of the present study was therefore to investigate the effect of rinsing time with various antiseptic solutions on bone cell viability, as well as their subsequent release of growth factors important for bone regeneration. The bone samples collected from porcine mandible were rinsed in the following commonly utilized antiseptic solutions; povidone-iodine (0.5%), chlorhexidine digluconate (CHX, 0.2%), hydrogen peroxide (1%), and sodium hypochlorite (0.25%) for 1, 5, 10, 20, 30, or 60 minutes and assessed for cell viability and release of growth factors including vascular endothelial growth factor, transforming growth factor beta 1, bone morphogenetic protein 2, receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand, and interleukin-1 beta by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. It was found in all the tested groups that the long exposure of any of the tested antiseptic solutions drastically promoted higher cell death. Sodium hypochlorite demonstrated the significantly highest cell death and at all time points. Interestingly, bone cell viability was highest in the CHX group post short-term rinsing of 1, 5, or 10 minutes when compared with the other 4 tested groups. A similar trend was also observed in subsequent growth factor release. The present study demonstrated that of the 4 tested antiseptic solutions, short-term CHX rinsing (ideally within 1 minute) favored bone cell viability and growth factor release. Clinical protocols should be adapted accordingly.

Abstract
Bisphosphonates are considered the most effective drugs for controlling adult and pediatric osteolytic diseases. Although they have been used successfully for many years, several side effects, such as osteonecrosis of the jaw, delayed dental eruption, atypical femoral fracture, and alterations to the bone growth system, have been described. After an overview of nitrogenous bisphosphonate, the purpose of this article is to describe their mechanisms of action and current applications, review the preclinical and clinical evidence of their side effects in the skeleton ("what we know"), and describe current recommendations for preventing and managing these effects ("what we can do"). Finally, promising future directions on how to limit the occurrence of these side effects will be presented.

Abstract
Composite resins are predominantly marketed in developing countries in tube form, and the contents of the tube may be used in numerous procedures for different patients. This represents a problem because of the risk of cross-contamination. This study aimed to evaluate contamination in vitro of the internal contents of composite resin tubes in the dental clinics of a higher-education institution, as well as the effect of photoactivation on the level of contamination. Twenty-five tubes containing composite resin were randomly chosen (by lottery). From each tube, two samples of approximately 2 mm of composite resin were removed, and then one sample, but not the other, was photoactivated. These samples were plated on Brain-Heart Infusion (BHI), Sabouraud and MacConkey agars, and the plates were incubated at 37°C for 24-48 h. Colony counting and Gram staining were performed for subsequent microscopic identification of fungi and bacteria. The non-photoactivated composite resin group presented significantly higher microbial contamination in relation to the photoactivated composite resin group. The photoactivation of camphorquinone present in composite resin produces reactive oxygen species, which might promote cell death of contaminant microorganisms. Thus, although the same tube of composite resin may be used for a number of different patients in the dental clinics of developing countries, the photoactivation process potentially reduces the risk of cross-contamination.
