Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide photolysis-based antimicrobial chemotherapy that utilizes ultraviolet-A irradiation (UVA-H2O2 photolysis) has been previously proposed as a method of treatment of cariogenic biofilm. Therefore, in the present study, we aimed to assess time-dependent reactions in the dental pulp of rats after UVA-H2O2 photolysis. Maxillary first molars were treated. UVA irradiation (wavelength: 365 nm) with 3 wt% H2O2 was performed for 90 s at a radiant emittance of 500-2000 mW/cm2 on the rats for 3 consecutive days or only 1 day. The animals were sacrificed at Days 1, 3, 7, and 21 after the treatment for the histological evaluation of inflammatory cells and immunohistochemistry of heat shock protein (HSP)-25, a marker of odontoblasts. Tertiary dentin formation was evaluated at Day 21 by histomorphometry and micro-CT analysis. UVA-H2O2 photolysis elicited little infiltration of inflammatory cells, but disturbances in the odontoblast layer and/or presence of localized degenerative tissue were observed on Day 3. This condition was followed by a healing process that was characterized by the reappearance of HSP-25 positive odontoblast-like cells at Day 7 and tertiary dentin formation at Day 21. The amount of tertiary dentin formed was dependent on the intensity of treatment; repeated UVA irradiations of H2O2 at 2000 mW/cm2 resulted in the largest amount of tertiary dentin formation at the pulp horn regions. Our findings suggest that UVA-H2O2 photolysis treatment can be used to treat dental caries clinically because the post-treatment inflammatory reaction was minimal and tertiary dentin formation was substantial, which may prove effective in protecting dental pulp from external irritants. As a cautionary consideration, the radiant emittance of the UVA irradiation should be carefully optimized before clinical application.

Oral mucosal irritation potential of antimicrobial chemotherapy involving hydrogen peroxide photolysis with high-power laser irradiation for the treatment of periodontitis. JOURNAL OF PHOTOCHEMISTRY AND PHOTOBIOLOGY B-BIOLOGY 2019; 201:111633. [PMID: 31726378 DOI: 10.1016/j.jphotobiol.2019.111633] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2019] [Revised: 09/14/2019] [Accepted: 09/15/2019] [Indexed: 11/15/2022]
Abstract
In the present study, we assessed the oral mucosal irritation potential of antimicrobial chemotherapy involving hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) photolysis with a 405-nm laser device at an output power of ≥100 mW in hamsters. Twenty-four cheek pouches from 12 male Syrian hamsters received 7-min treatment with pure water (PW), 3% H2O2, laser irradiation of PW at 100 mW, laser irradiation of 3% H2O2 at 100 mW, laser irradiation of PW at 200 mW, or laser irradiation of 3% H2O2 at 200 mW (n = 4 each). The diameter of the irradiation area was set at 3 mm; accordingly, the calculated irradiances (optical power densities) of the 100- and 200-mW laser lights were approximately 1400 and 2800 mW/cm2, respectively. In addition, 12 cheek pouches from six animals received laser irradiation of 3% H2O2 at 100 mW for 1, 3, or 5 min (n = 4 each). Each treatment was repeated three times at 1-h intervals. Macroscopic and histological changes were evaluated 24 h after the last treatment. In addition, in vitro bactericidal activity of the treatment against periodontal pathogens was evaluated. We found that 405-nm laser irradiation of 3% H2O2 caused moderate to severe oral mucosal irritation when performed at powers of 100 and 200 mW for ≥3 min, while the same treatment performed at 100 mW for 1 min resulted in mild irritation. Moreover, 1-min H2O2 photolysis at 100 mW caused a >4-log decrease in viable bacterial counts. These findings suggest that 1-min H2O2 photolysis, which can effectively kill periodontal pathogens, may be acceptable when a 405-nm laser device is used at 100 mW. However, use of the laser at a lower power would be preferable for the prevention of unnecessary oral mucosal irritation.
