Abstract
The purpose of this research was to investigate the effect of toluidine blue (TB) mediated photodynamic therapy (PDT) on the inhibition of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation in rat gingival fibroblasts through in vitro experiments. Rat gingival fibroblasts were divided into five groups: (1) control, (2) LPS treatment, (3) laser treatment, (4) TB treatment (1.0 µg/mL), and (5) PDT treatment (TB plus laser irradiation at 320 mW/cm2 for 240 s). After 24 h, cell growth activity was measured using MTT assay. The levels of receptor activator for nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG) in the cell culture supernatant were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Nuclear proteins were extracted and the phosphorylation levels of phosphorylated nuclear factor-κB/p65 (p-p65) and phosphorylated inhibitor of nuclear factor-κB (p-IκBα) were determined using Western Blot. MTT results showed no significant difference in cell viability between the groups (P > 0.05). After LPS induction, OPG expression decreased, RANKL expression increased, and the OPG/RANKL ratio decreased, which was different from the control group (P < 0.05). After PDT treatment, OPG expression increased, RANKL expression decreased (P < 0.05), and the OPG/RANKL ratio increased (P < 0.05). Compared to the control group, there was no significant difference in OPG and RANKL expression or the OPG/RANKL ratio (P > 0.05). The activation of NF-κB was closely related to the phosphorylation levels of p-p65 and p-IκBα. LPS significantly up-regulated p-p65 and p-IκBα expression (P < 0.05), while PDT treatment decreased their phosphorylation levels (P < 0.05). TB-PDT treatment can inhibit NF-κB signaling pathway activation, decrease RANKL and OPG expression, and reduce the OPG/RANKL ratio, thereby reducing inflammation and playing a role in periodontitis treatment.

Abstract
Periodontitis, a chronic inflammatory condition caused by bacteria, often causes gradual destruction of the components that support teeth, such as the alveolar bone, cementum, periodontal ligament, and gingiva. This ultimately results in teeth becoming loose and eventually falling out. Timely identification has a crucial role in preventing and controlling its progression. Clinical measures are used to diagnose periodontitis. However, now, there is a hunt for alternative diagnostic and monitoring methods due to the progress of technology. Various biomarkers have been assessed using multiple bodily fluids as sample sources. Furthermore, conventional periodontal categorization factors do not provide significant insights into the present disease activity, severity and amount of tissue damage, future development, and responsiveness to treatment. In recent times, there has been a growing utilization of nanoparticle (NP)-based detection strategies to create quick and efficient detection assays. Every single one of these platforms leverages the distinct characteristics of NPs to identify periodontitis. Plasmonic NPs include metal NPs, quantum dots (QDs), carbon base NPs, and nanozymes, exceptionally potent light absorbers and scatterers. These find application in labeling, surface-enhanced spectroscopy, and color-changing sensors. Fluorescent NPs function as photostable and sensitive instruments capable of labeling various biological targets. This article presents a comprehensive summary of the latest developments in the effective utilization of various NPs to detect periodontitis.

Abstract
Periodontitis, a prevalent oral condition, is facing difficulties in therapeutic approaches, sometimes leading to failure. This literature review was conducted to investigate the diversity of other therapeutic approaches and their potential contributions to the successful management of the disease. This research scrutinized the alterations in microbial diversity and imbalances in crucial microbial species, which contribute significantly to the pathogenesis of periodontitis. Within the limitations of this study, we highlight the importance of understanding the treatment plan's role in periodontitis disease, opening the way for further research and innovative treatment plans to mitigate the impact of periodontitis on oral health. This will aid both healthcare professionals and patients in preventing and effectively treating periodontitis, ultimately improving oral health outcomes and overall systemic health and well-being.

Efficacy of methylene blue-mediated antimicrobial photodynamic therapy on clinical and radiographic outcomes among patients with periodontal diseases: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. Photodiagnosis Photodyn Ther 2024; 46:104000. [PMID: 38316339 DOI: 10.1016/j.pdpdt.2024.104000] [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: 11/13/2023] [Revised: 01/30/2024] [Accepted: 02/02/2024] [Indexed: 02/07/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to assess the influence of methylene blue (MB)-mediated adjunctive antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) when compared to conventional mechanical debridement (MD) alone on periodontal clinical and radiographic outcomes among periodontitis patients. METHODS Randomized clinical trials (RCTs) were incorporated by conducting an electronic search in Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed for articles published in English up to August 2023 to address the following focused question based on the PICO format: "Whether the application of MB-mediated aPDT as an adjunctive to MD (Intervention) leads to improved periodontal clinical and/or radiographic outcomes (Outcome) among participants with and without periodontal diseases (Population) as compared to MD alone (Conparison)". The risk of bias (RoB) of the included studies was assessed using the modified Jadad scale. A meta-analysis was conducted, and it included the presentation of the standard mean difference (SMD) along with a 95 % confidence interval (CI). RESULTS In total, 11 studies were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis. The meta-analysis demonstrated statistically significant improvements in periodontal plaque index (SMD: -0.72 % [95 % CI: -0.99 % to -0.45 %]; p<0.00001), probing depth (SMD: -0.38 % [95 % CI: -0.57 % to -0.19 %; p<0.00001), and bleeding on probing (SMD: -0.44 % [95 % CI: -0.68 % to -0.20 %]; p = 0.0003) scores at the final follow-up visit after the application of MB-mediated aPDT in comparison with MD alone. Nevertheless, there was no statistically significant difference was observed in periodontal clinical attachment level values (SMD: -0.01 % [95 % CI: -0.21 % to 0.19 %]; p = 0.95) between the control group and the experimental group. Six studies achieved a low RoB, five were rated as having medium RoB, while no study received a high RoB. CONCLUSION MB-mediated aPDT, when used as an adjunct to conventional MD contributes to the improvement of periodontal clinical outcomes including PI, PD, and BOP in patients with periodontitis.

Abstract
Background: Peri-implantitis, an inflammatory condition in implant tissues, requires bacterial eradication and implant surface decontamination, with aPDT as a helpful surgical adjunct. Objective:This project was designed to investigate the effect of antibiotic therapy versus aPDT, as adjuncts to conventional mechanical debridement (MD), on the peri-implant clinical and/or radiographic parameters among patients with peri-implant diseases. Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted across electronic databases, including PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, up to and including April 2023, without any restriction on the language and year of publication, focusing the following research question: "Does adjunctive aPDT improve the peri-implant clinical and/or radiographic parameters in treating peri-implant diseases compared to antibiotic therapy?" Statistical analysis was performed on peri-implant clinical [plaque index (PI), probing depth (PD), and bleeding on probing (BOP)] and radiographic parameters [marginal bone loss (MBL)]. The study included six randomized controlled trials and one clinical (nonrandomized) study. Results: The systematic review findings indicate that the application of aPDT as an adjunct to MD is equally effective as adjunctive antibiotic therapy in improving peri-implant clinical parameters and radiographic parameters in patients with peri-implant diseases. Only two studies were classified as having a low risk of bias (RoB), two were assessed as having an unclear RoB, and the remaining three studies were determined to have a high RoB. However, the meta-analysis results revealed no statistically significant difference in peri-implant PI, PD, and MBL scores between patients treated with adjunct aPDT or adjunct antibiotic therapy. Notably, there was a statistically significant difference favoring adjunct aPDT in peri-implant BOP values compared to the control group. Conclusions: Despite the limited number of included studies and the significant heterogeneity among them, the findings suggest that aPDT yields comparable peri-implant clinical and radiographic outcomes to adjunctive antibiotic therapy, as adjuncts to MD, for the potential treatment of peri-implant diseases.

Abstract
Limited options exist for treatment of periodontitis; scaling and root planing (SRP) are not sufficient to eradicate P. gingivalis and the resulting inflammatory disease. Chlorhexidine (CHX), used as an adjuvant to SRP, may reduce bacterial loads but leads to pain and staining, while evidence for its efficacy is lacking. Antibiotics are effective but can lead to drug-resistance. The rising concern of antibiotic resistance limits the future use of this treatment approach. This study evaluates the efficacy of a novel superhydrophobic (SH) antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) device as an adjuvant to SRP for the treatment of periodontitis induced in a Wistar rat in vivo model relative to CHX. The SH-aPDT device comprises an SH silicone rubber strip coated with verteporfin photosensitizer (PS), sterilized, and secured onto a tapered plastic optical fiber tip connected to a red diode laser. The superhydrophobic polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) strips were fabricated by using a novel soluble template method that creates a medical-grade elastomer with hierarchical surface roughness without the use of nanoparticles. Superhydrophobicity minimizes direct contact of the PS-coated surface with bacterial biofilms. Upon insertion of the device tip into the pocket and energizing the laser, the device generates singlet oxygen that effectively targets and eliminates bacteria within the periodontal pocket. SH-aPDT treatment using 125 J/cm2 of red light on three consecutive days reduced P. gingivalis significantly more than SRP-CHX controls (p < 0.05). Clinical parameters significantly improved (p < 0.05), and histology and stereometry results demonstrated SH-aPDT to be the most effective treatment for improving healing and reducing inflammation, with an increase in fibroblast cells and extracellular matrix and a reduction in vascularization, inflammatory cells, and COX-2 expression. The SH-aPDT approach resulted in complete disease clearance assessed 30 days after treatment initiation with significant reduction of the periodontal pocket and re-formation of the junctional epithelium at the enamel-cementum junction. PS isolation on a SH strip minimizes the potential for bacteria to develop resistance, where the treatment may be aided by the oxygen supply retained within the SH surface.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a major risk factor for localized diseases such as peri-implantitis that may affect ideal implant treatment. This study was aimed to evaluate the effect of mechanical debridement (MD) + antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (a-PDT) in patients with peri-implantitis who have T2DM in terms of bleeding on probing (BOP) and probing depth (PD) as primary outcomes and plaque index (PI) and crestal bone loss (CBL) as secondary outcomes. METHODS Publications compared outcomes between MD + aPDT and MD alone in T2DM patients with peri-implantitis, containing more than 3-month follow-up duration, were involved in the systematic review and meta-analysis. Literature until July 2023 using MEDLINE (through PubMed), Scopus, Cochrane Library, Embase, Web of Science, and Google Scholar were collected. RESULTS Two randomized controlled trials (RCTs, 88 individuals) and one controlled clinical trial (CCT, 67 individuals) with follow-up periods ranged from 3 to 12 months were recruited. All studies used diode laser with wavelengths ranged from 660 to 810 nm. The results demonstrated that the MD + aPDT group showed significant benefits for BOP reduction after 6 months (SMD = -2.15, 95% CI: -3.78 to -0.51, p = 0.01). However, a great amount of heterogeneity was observed (I2 = 91.52%, p < 0.001). Moreover, there was a significant difference between MD + aPDT and MD alone groups in CBL (SMD = -0.69, 95% CI: -1.07 to -0.30, p < 0.001). In addition, homogeneity assumption was satisfied (I2 = 22.49%, p = 0.28). Significant differences in PD and PI reduction were not found except for PI reduction after 3 months (SMD = -0.79, 95% CI: -1.24 to -0.33, p < 0.001. Also, no heterogeneity was observed (I2 = 0.00%, p = 0.47). CONCLUSION Given that high heterogeneity in BOP and PD outcome was found in this systematic review, future long-term CTs with MD + aPDT should be examined to arrive at a firm conclusion.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study evaluated the impact of Fox Green (FG) against methylthioninium chloride (MTC)-facilitated photodynamic therapy (PDT) as an adjunctive to manual scaling (MS) on the peri‑implant clinical and cytokine parameters in type-2 diabetes mellitus (DM) patients with peri‑implantitis. METHODS Patients were divided into group-A comprising 13 patients who received adjunctive FG-PDT using a diode laser (wavelength: 810 nm; irradiation power: 300 mW; irradiation time: 30 s; fluence: 56 Jcm-2), group-B comprising 12 patients who received adjunctive MTC-PDT using a diode laser (wavelength: 660 nm; irradiation power: 100 mW; irradiation time: 120 s/site; fluence: 30 Jcm-2), and group-C comprising 13 patients who received MS alone [control group]). After diagnosing the diabetics with peri‑implantitis (established on eligibility criteria), a structured questionnaire was used to gather the information of the participants. Plaque (PS) and bleeding scores (BS), along with peri‑implant probing scores (PPS) and peri‑implant bone loss (PIBL), together with immunological variables (interleukin [IL]-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha [TNF-α], and advanced glycation end products [AGEs]) were measured in all study group participants at baseline, 3-month, and 6-month follow-ups. RESULTS A significant reduction was observed for PS, BS, and PPS within all tested groups at each follow-up visits compared from their baseline values (p<0.05). However, a substantial decrease in PIBL was observed in all study group patients at 6-month follow-up as compared to 3-month follow-up (p<0.05). Regarding the levels of IL-6 and TNF-α, a substantial reduction was observed in all study groups until 6-month from their baseline scores (p<0.05). However, no changes were observed in the levels of AGEs in any group at either visit (p>0.05). CONCLUSION In DM patients with periimplantitis, adjunctive FG-PDT and MTC-PDT exhibited comparable outcomes in terms of peri‑implant clinical as well as pro-inflammatory characteristics than MS alone among peri‑implantitis patients with DM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to assess the efficacy of indocyanine green (ICG)-mediated versus methylene blue (MB)-mediated photodynamic therapy (PDT) as an adjunct to conventional mechanical debridement (MD) on the peri‑implant clinical, radiographic, microbiological, and immunological outcomes among diabetics with peri‑implant mucositis (pi-M). METHODS For this 3-month follow-up study, diabetics having pi-M were randomly divided into 3 groups: group-I (n = 20) subjects received only MD; group-II (n = 20) participants received ICG-mediated adjunct PDT; and group-III (n = 20) subjects received MB-mediated adjunct PDT. Peri-implant clinical (i.e., plaque index [PI], bleeding on probing [BOP], probing depth [PD]), radiographic (crestal bone loss [CBL]), microbiological (Fusobacterium nucleatum [F. nucleatum], Tannerella forsythia [T. forsythia], Prevotella intermedia [P. intermedia], Porphyromonas gingivalis [P. gingivalis], Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans [A. actinomycetemcomitans]), and immunological (interleukin [IL]-6, IL-1β, tumor necrosis factor-alpha [TNF-α]) outcomes were assessed at baseline and 3-month follow-up. RESULTS Mean changes between baseline and 3-month follow-up in peri‑implant clinico-radiographic parameters were significantly different between control (PI: 12.42±21.80%; BOP: 12.10±19.30%; PD: 0.45±0.41 mm; CBL: 1.10±1.02 mm) and test groups (ICG-mediated PDT [PI: 26.55±25.80%; BOP: 28.77±29.24%; PD: 0.84±0.62 mm; CBL: 1.98±1.85 mm] and MB-mediated PDT [PI: 27.24±26.15%; BOP: 27.71±28.16%; PD: 0.85±0.63 mm; CBL: 1.95±1.80 mm]), however comparable differences were observed in peri‑implant PI, BOP, PD, and CBL between group-II and group-III participants (p>0.05). The proportions of T. forsythia were significantly reduced in group-II (4.78 × 104 colony-forming unit per milliliter [CFU/mL]) and group-III (4.76 × 104 CFU/mL) as compared to group-I (-4.40 × 103 CFU/mL) at 3-month follow-up (p = 0.02). No statistically significant differences were observed between the study groups regarding the proportions of the other assessed target bacterial species. For IL-6 (group-I: 210±108; group-II: 298±165; group-III: 277±121 pg/mL; p = 0.03), IL-1β (group-I: 101±95; group-II: 84±98; group-III: 86±74 pg/mL; p = 0.02), and TNF-α (group-I: 336±121; group-II: 385±210; group-III: 366±198 pg/mL; p = 0.03) peri‑implant sulcular fluid [PISF] levels, all three study groups demonstrated statistically significant reduction at 3-month follow-up. CONCLUSIONS ICG-mediated and MB-mediated adjunctive PDT showed statistically significant improvements in peri‑implant clinical, radiographic, microbiological, and immunological parameters as compared to conventional MD alone at 3-month follow-up among diabetics with pi-M. However, comparable outcomes were demonstrated by ICG-mediated and MB-mediated adjunctive PDT regarding the assessed peri‑implant parameters.

The Effectiveness of Laser Applications and Photodynamic Therapy on Relevant Periodontal Pathogens ( Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans) Associated with Immunomodulating Anti-rheumatic Drugs. BIOENGINEERING (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 10:bioengineering10010061. [PMID: 36671633 PMCID: PMC9855085 DOI: 10.3390/bioengineering10010061] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2022] [Revised: 12/31/2022] [Accepted: 01/02/2023] [Indexed: 01/06/2023]
Abstract
Considering the current context of the increasing resistance of bacterial species to antibiotics and other antimicrobial agents, a major objective is to develop other antimicrobial approaches, which would be able to inactivate pathogens with considerable effectiveness. Two such methods are photodynamic disinfection therapy and laser irradiation. In view of the immunocompromised status of some patients under immunosuppressive therapy and potential drug interactions that can be established between systemic antimicrobial agents, the research of local, minimally invasive methods of inactivating periodontal pathogens in the context of these systemic therapies with modifying drugs of the immune response is justified. This in vitro study evaluated the antimicrobial action of a diode laser, wavelength 940 nm, and photodisinfection therapy at 670 nm (photosensitizer, 3,7 dimethyl phenothiazine chloride) on a type strain of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, a known periodontal pathogen, in the presence and absence of active substances used in autoimmune disease therapy (Etanercept, Infliximab, Metothrexate). The association of a conventional antirheumatic drug with anti-TNF-α therapy determined a significantly greater inhibition of the strain of A. actinomycetemcomitans compared to monotherapy, in vitro. Photodisinfection caused a significant reduction in bacterial burden after a 30 s exposure in vitro, regardless of the pharmaceutical associations of biological and conventional disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs). Irradiation with a diode laser for 30 s at a power of 5 W caused a greater reduction compared to irradiation with 1 W. The application of laser and photodisinfection induced a significant reduction in Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans in vitro and could be considered important adjunctive measures for the eradication of this oral pathogen in the context of immunomodulating therapy.

Evaluation of photosensitizer-containing superhydrophobic surfaces for the antibacterial treatment of periodontal biofilms. JOURNAL OF PHOTOCHEMISTRY AND PHOTOBIOLOGY. B, BIOLOGY 2022; 233:112458. [PMID: 35691161 PMCID: PMC10373426 DOI: 10.1016/j.jphotobiol.2022.112458] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2022] [Revised: 04/18/2022] [Accepted: 04/22/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) is a promising approach to control biofilms involved in periodontal diseases. However, certain challenges, such as staining of teeth, preferential interaction of photosensitizer (PS) with Gram-positive versus Gram-negative bacteria, and insufficient oxygen in hypoxic periodontal pockets have presented barriers to its use in the clinic. To overcome these challenges, a novel superhydrophobic (SH) film that generates airborne singlet oxygen has been developed. The SH-aPDT approach isolates the PS onto a topologically rough solid SH film on which channels allow air to diffuse to the PS surface, thus ensuring sufficient oxygen supply. Upon illumination, gas phase singlet oxygen (1O2) is produced and diffuses from the SH surface to the underlying biofilm. The killing efficacy was assessed as a function of transmitted fluence (17.9-89.5 J/cm2) and chorin e6 loading (96-1110 nmol/cm2) by counting of colony forming units, biofilm metabolism by XTT and confocal microscopy. The decrease in viability of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria in a multi-species biofilm was found to be linearly dependent on the fluence as well as the loading of the PS up to 71.6 J/cm2 when 1110 nmols/cm2 of chlorin e6 was used. A > 4.6 log bacterial reduction was observed under these conditions (p < 0.05). This novel SH-aPDT approach shows promise as an effective method to disinfect multi-species bacterial biofilms associated with periodontal disease and will be evaluated in animal models in future studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A lot of research has been done on various disinfection modalities used to achieve an aseptic implant surface. However, the bacterial efficacy and the topographical alterations resulting from the use of these techniques have never been compared. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate and compare the disinfection efficacy and surface changes on a bacteria contaminated titanium block following application of various disinfectants. METHOD Ultrasonically cleaned titanium blocks were contaminated with Porphyromonas gingivalis and Tannerella forsythia. The infected titanium implants were randomly divided into four experimental groups and decontaminated using antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT), laser therapy, chlorhexidine and hydrogen peroxide. Bacterial viability and surface changes following decontamination were analyzed. RESULT Bacterial viability decreased in all the groups with aPDT having the highest reduction. Surface roughness remained unchanged whereas the contact angle lessened in the aPDT group. CONCLUSION aPDT could possibly be a suitable alternative to other disinfection regimen to treat periimplantitis.

Is a single session of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy as an adjuvant to non-surgical scaling and root planing effective in reducing periodontal inflammation and subgingival presence of Porphyromonas gingivalis and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans in patients with periodontitis? Photodiagnosis Photodyn Ther 2022; 38:102847. [PMID: 35367618 DOI: 10.1016/j.pdpdt.2022.102847] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2022] [Revised: 03/29/2022] [Accepted: 03/30/2022] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim was to assess the influence of a single session of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) as an adjunct to non-surgical scaling and root planing (SRP) in reducing periodontal inflammation and subgingival presence of Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (A. actinomycetemcomitans) in patients with periodontitis. METHODS Patients diagnosed with periodontitis were included. Information regarding age and gender was recorded using a questionnaire. All patients underwent full mouth non-surgical SRP and the following parameters were assessed at baseline: (a) marginal bone loss (MBL); (b) probing depth (PD) (c) clinical attachment loss (CAL); and (d) presence of supra-and subgingival bleeding and plaque (GI and PI). Identification of A. actinomycetemcomitans and P. gingivalis was performed using polymerase chain reaction. For aPDT (test-group), methylene-blue (MB) (0.005%) was used as photosensitizer and it was applied over and inside the buccal pockets of teeth. Using a Diode laser at 660 nm and 150 mW, irradiation was performed All clinical parameters except for MBL and microbiological evaluations were re-assessed at 3-months of follow-up. Level of significance was set at P<0.05. RESULTS At 3-months of follow-up A. actinomycetemcomitans and P. gingivalis were identified in significantly lower number of patients in groups 1 and 2 compared with their respective baseline values. Number of patients in whom A. actinomycetemcomitans and P. gingivalis were identified at 3-months of follow-up were similar in both groups. At baseline, there was no statistically significant difference in PI, GI, PD, CAL and MBL among patients in groups 1 and 2. In groups 1 and 2, scores of PI (P<0.001), GI (P<0.001) and PD (P<0.001) were significantly higher at baseline compared with their respective 3-months' follow-up scores. CONCLUSION One application of aPDT with non-surgical SRP is ineffective in managing periodontal inflammation and presence of P. gingivalis and A. actinomycetemcomitans in periodontitis patients.

Abstract
Background This study aimed to assess the effect of diode laser combined with minocycline hydrochloride in conventional nonsurgical periodontal therapy. Methods Ninety-two patients and 1206 teeth were included in this study. The patients were diagnosed moderate or severe periodontal diseases with the presence of teeth in at least 3 quadrants in the oral cavity. Each patient’s quadrants were randomly divided into three treatment groups as following, Control group: scaling and root planning (SRP); Experimental group 1 (Exp 1): SRP + minocycline hydrochloride; Experimental group 2 (Exp 2): SRP + 809 nm diode laser + minocycline hydrochloride. The minocycline in Exp 1 and Exp 2 was applied once per week, for 4 weeks. Clinical examinations including periodontal probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL) and bleeding index (BI), and the secretion of inflammatory factor (tumor necrosis factor, TNF-α) was detected by ELISA before and 3, 6 months after the treatments. The differences among these groups were assessed by One-Way ANOVA and Kruskal–Wallis test. P-value < 0.05 was considered significant. Results All the periodontal indexes (PD, CAL and BI) were improved after each treatment and the secretion of TNF-α was reduced for all three groups. In patients with deep periodontal pockets, Exp 2 showed significant improvements in all indexes comparison with Con group and Exp group 1. Conclusions The synergistic effect of SRP and 809 nm diode laser combined with minocycline hydrochloride could play an efficient and reliable effect in the nonsurgical periodontal treatment approach. Trial registration The clinical trial was retrospectively registered in chictr.org.cn with registration ChiCTR2100051708 (01/10/2021).

Hydrogen peroxide potentiates antimicrobial photodynamic therapy in eliminating Candida albicans and Streptococcus mutans dual-species biofilm from denture base. Photodiagnosis Photodyn Ther 2021; 37:102691.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Candida albicans (C.albicans) is the primary pathogen of denture biofilm. Moreover, it could establish a cross-kingdom relationship with bacteria to enhance its virulence and resistance to antifungal drugs. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) in combination with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) against C.albicans and Streptococcus mutans (S.mutans) dual-species biofilm formed on polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) disk, and explore its involved mechanisms. METHODS C.albicans and S.mutans were grown on PMMA disk for 48 h to form biofilm and received different treatments. The treatments included:1) phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) group,2) 100 mM H2O2 group,3) aPDT group,4) aPDT+ H2O2 and 5) H2O2+aPDT group. Colony forming units (CFU), 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT), and scanning electron microscope (SEM) were used to evaluate the antimicrobial effects. Extracellular polysaccharide substance (EPS) production and observation, cell permeability of biofilm, and uptake of toluidine blue O (TBO) by biofilm were assessed to investigate the involved mechanism. RESULTS There was no significant difference between PBS group and H2O2 group in viable microorganisms and metabolic activity of biofilm. The treatment protocols containing aPDT group reduced microorganism numbers and metabolic activity when compared to PBS group or H2O2 group (P<0.05). H2O2+aPDT treatment showed the highest antimicrobial efficacy in comparison with other treatments (P<0.05). Pretreatment with H2O2 could decrease EPS production and enhance cell permeability, leading to increased TBO uptake in biofilm. CONCLUSION Pretreatment with H2O2 improved aPDT efficiency in eliminating dual-species biofilm from PMMA disk by reducing EPS amount, enhancing cell permeability, and increasing TBO uptake.

Abstract
Biophotonics is defined as the combination of biology and photonics (the physical science of the light). It is a general term for all techniques that deal with the interaction between biological tissues/cells and photons (light). Biophotonics offers a great variety of techniques that can facilitate the early detection of diseases and promote innovative theragnostic approaches. As the COVID-19 infection can be transmitted due to the face-to-face communication, droplets and aerosol inhalation and the exposure to saliva, blood, and other body fluids, as well as the handling of sharp instruments, dental practices are at increased risk of infection. In this paper, a literature review was performed to explore the application of Biophotonics approaches in Dentistry focusing on the COVID-19 pandemic and how they can contribute to avoid or minimize the risks of infection in a dental setting. For this, search-related papers were retrieved from PubMED, Scielo, Google Schoolar, and American Dental Association and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention databases. The body of evidence currently available showed that Biophotonics approaches can reduce microorganism load, decontaminate surfaces, air, tissues, and minimize the generation of aerosol and virus spreading by minimally invasive, time-saving, and alternative techniques in general. However, each clinical situation must be individually evaluated regarding the benefits and drawbacks of these approaches, but always pursuing less-invasive and less aerosol-generating procedures, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract
Purpose This meta-analysis assessed the efficacy of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) compared to conventional nystatin therapy (NYT) in reducing Candida colony count in patients with Candida-associated denture stomatitis (CADS) and critically appraised the available literature.Methods This meta-analysis was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) updated guidelines. A literature search was performed in four electronic databases to identify relevant articles up to 15 August 2021. Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) that assessed the efficacy of aPDT compared to NYT in reducing Candida colony count in patients with CADS were investigated. The weighted mean difference (MD) and 95% confidence interval were calculated. The I2 statistic was used to determine heterogeneity at the level of α = 0.10. The Cochrane risk of bias (RoB 2) tool was used to assess the risk of bias. Certainty of the evidence was determined using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) ranking system.Results Only three eligible RCTs with 141 participants were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis. Based on the pooled results, NYT compared to aPDT generally performed better in reducing Candida colony count (Log10 CFU/mL) in patients' palate and patients' denture. The included studies had a moderate risk of bias and the certainty of the evidence was low.Conclusion Although still inconclusive, based on the current evidence, aPDT may be effective in reducing Candida colony count and treating CADS. Nonetheless, it does not appear to be more effective than conventional NYT in this regard. According to the limited number of included studies, more well-designed RCTs with larger sample sizes and standardised methodology should be conducted to validate this conclusion.

[PMID: 34827286 PMCID: PMC8614803 DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics10111348] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2021] [Revised: 10/29/2021] [Accepted: 11/03/2021] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Oral microbiome dysbiosis has important links to human health and disease. Although photodynamic therapy influences microbiome diversity, the specific effect of violet light irradiation remains largely unknown. In this study, we analyzed the effect of violet light-emitting diode (LED) irradiation on interdental plaque microbiota. Interdental plaque was collected from 12 human subjects, exposed to violet LED irradiation, and cultured in a specialized growth medium. Next-generation sequencing of the 16S ribosomal RNA genes revealed that α-diversity decreased, whereas β-diversity exhibited a continuous change with violet LED irradiation doses. In addition, we identified several operational taxonomic units that exhibited significant shifts during violet LED irradiation. Specifically, violet LED irradiation led to a significant reduction in the relative abundance of Fusobacterium species, but a significant increase in several species of oral bacteria, such as Veillonella and Campylobacter. Our study provides an overview of oral plaque microbiota changes under violet LED irradiation, and highlights the potential of this method for adjusting the balance of the oral microbiome without inducing antibiotic resistance.

Abstract
Periodontal disease is an oral infectious and inflammatory disease caused by microorganisms that determine the host-mediated destruction of soft and hard periodontal tissues, which ultimately leads to tooth loss. Periodontitis affects a large part of the population, with various degrees of severity. Treatment consists of etiologic therapy: the removal of biofilm through mechanical debridement plus microbial elimination by supplementary measures. Antibiotic administration, either systemically or through local delivery, has been shown to improve clinical outcomes after mechanical periodontal treatment. Clindamycin is a lincosamide with a broad spectrum, being active against aerobic, anaerobic, and β-lactamase-producing bacteria. This antibiotic offers several advantages and some disadvantages and has been used in periodontal treatment both systemically and locally with various degrees of success. Among the properties that recommend it for periodontal treatment is the bacteriostatic effect, the inhibition of bacterial proteins synthesis, the enhancement of neutrophil chemotaxis, phagocytosis and the oxidative burst–oxidative stress storm. Furthermore, it is easily absorbed at the level of oral tissues in a considerable amount. This substantial tissue penetration, especially inside the bone, is synergistic with a stimulating effect on the host immune system. The aim of this review is to explore the applicability of this antibiotic agent and to evaluate its antimicrobial potential and limitations at the level of the oral biofilm associated with periodontal disease.

Abstract
This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) efficacy in periodontitis. The review protocol was conducted in accordance with PRISMA statements, Cochrane Collaboration recommendations and is registered in PROSPERO (CRD 42020161516). Electronic and hand search strategies were undertaken to gather data on in vivo human RCTs followed by qualitative analysis. Differences in probing pocket depth (PPD) and clinical attachment level (CAL) were calculated with 95% confidence intervals and pooled in random effects model at three and six months. Heterogeneity was analyzed, using Q and I2 tests. Publication bias was assessed by visual examination of the funnel plot symmetry. Sixty percent of 31 eligible studies showed a high risk of bias. Meta-analysis on 18 studies showed no additional benefit in split mouth studies in terms of PPD reduction (SMD 0.166; 95% CI −0.278 to 0.611; P = 0.463) and CAL gain (SMD 0.092; 95% CI −0.013 to 0.198; P = 0.088). Similar findings noted for parallel group studies; PPD reduction (SMD 0.076; 95% CI −0.420 to 0.573; P = 0.763) and CAL gain (SMD 0.056; 95% CI −0.408 to 0.552; P = 0.745). Sensitivity analysis minimized heterogeneity for both outcome variables; however, intergroup differences were not statistically significant. Future research should aim for well-designed RCTs in order to determine the effectiveness of aPDT.

Effect of ultrasonic scaling with adjunctive photodynamic therapy on the treatment of gingival inflammation among diabetic patients undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment. Photodiagnosis Photodyn Ther 2021; 35:102360. [PMID: 34052421 DOI: 10.1016/j.pdpdt.2021.102360] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2021] [Revised: 05/02/2021] [Accepted: 05/21/2021] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of the present clinical trial was to evaluate the effect of methylene blue-mediated antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) on the gingival and immunological parameters in diabetic adolescent patients undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment. METHODS The selected 40 participants were randomized equally into two groups; Group I (ultrasonic scaling + oral hygiene instructions) and Group II (ultrasonic scaling/oral hygiene instructions + aPDT). Serum HbA1c levels was assessed for all the participants at chairside. Plaque index (Pi), and bleeding on probing (BOP) were analyzed. Moreover, the assessment of crevicular fluid matrix metalloproteinase 8 (MMP-8) and macrophage inflammatory protein 1 alpha (MIP-1α) was performed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay technique. All measurements were recorded at baseline, 6 weeks, and 12 weeks follow-up periods, respectively. Intergroup comparisons for p-value were computed using Mann-Whitney test and Wilcoxon singed ranks test to compute p-value for intra-group comparisons. Stepwise logistic regression analysis was used to identify explanatory variables for reduction in plaque scores and bleeding on probing, after controlling for the effects of other covariates. Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals were used to assess the direction and strength for associations. Significance level was set at 5% for all analyses. RESULTS All 40 individuals completed the clinical trial. There was a statistically significant reduction in Pi and BOP in both Group I and Group II from baseline to 12 weeks of follow up (P<0.05). However, there was slight reduction in the plaque scores in Group-II as compared to Group-I at 12 weeks visit (P<0.05). There was also a statistically significant difference for BOP when Group-I was compared with Group-II on 12 weeks follow up assessment (P<0.05). HbA1c assessment indicated no statistically significant difference either within or between groups at any time point (P>0.05). Both MMP-8 and MIP-1α reported a significant decrease for both Groups I and II at 6 weeks and 12 weeks follow-up periods in comparison to baseline (P<0.05). Inter-group comparison indicated a statistically significant difference noted at both 6 weeks follow up that was maintained at 12 weeks follow up (P<0.05). The logistic regression analysis revealed that even after controlling the mean BMI as a predictor, the change of biomarker levels along with the improvement in plaque scores and bleeding on probing was not significant (p> 0.05). CONCLUSION aPDT significantly improved bleeding on probing and proinflammatory biomarkers among diabetic adolescent patients undergoing fixed orthodontic therapy.

Abstract
Background This 6-months randomized controlled clinical trial aimed to assess the efficacy of indocyanine green mediated photodynamic therapy (ICG-PDT) as an adjunct to peri‑implant manual debridement (PIMD) versus PIMD alone among Diabetes Mellitus (DM) patients in the treatment of peri‑implantitis. Methods A total of 48 DM patients having 64 implants were treated with either ICG-PDT + PIMD (n = 35 implants) or PIMD alone (n = 29 implants). Clinical (probing depth [PD], bleeding on probing [BOP], and plaque index [PI]) and radiographic (peri‑implant crestal bone loss [PCBL]) peri‑implant variables were recorded. Bacterial species including Porphyromonas gingivalis and Treponema denticola were evaluated from peri‑implant plaque biofilms. Levels of interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-6 were assessed after the collection of peri‑implant sulcular fluid. All the evaluations were carried out at baseline, 3- and 6-months. The significance level was set to p < 0.05. Results All clinical parameters significantly reduced within both treatment groups (P<0.05). Intra-group comparison indicates that there was statistically significant reduction in PD and suppuration for ICG-PDT group (P<0.05). There was a statistically significant difference in the BOP between ICG-PDT and PIMD groups at both follow-up periods (P<0.001). However, there was a significant difference for PD (P = 0.001), suppuration (P = 0.01), and PCBL (P = 0.04) on 6 months follow-up between ICG-PDT and PIMD groups, respectively. Only ICG-PDT showed a significant reduction in P. gingivalis and T. denticola on both 3 months and 6 months follow-up compared to baseline. PIMD showed a statistically significant reduction only on 3 months follow-up compared to baseline. This reduction was maintained for both the species when dental implants were treated with ICG-PDT. However, PIMD failed to maintain this reduction until 6 months. Only at 3 months assessment that both treatment groups showed statistically significant reduction in IL-1β and IL-6 with no significant difference between the groups. Both biomarkers failed to maintain the reduction in both groups and significantly increased levels for IL-1β was noted at 6 months follow up Conclusion Multiple application of indocyanine-green mediated photodynamic therapy resulted in improved clinical and microbial parameters among type 2 DM subjects in the treatment of peri‑implantitis. This clinical trial was registered in the ClinicalTrials.gov Protocol Registration and Results System with registration record number: NCT04833569.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Limitations of scaling and root planing (SRP) have directed research to utilize additional therapies to enhance conventional techniques. The present systematic review was conducted to evaluate and present a comprehensive overview on effectiveness of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) in the management of aggressive periodontitis (AgP). METHODOLOGY The PRISMA statement guidelines and Cochrane Collaboration recommendations were followed to conduct this systematic review. The review protocol is registered in PROSPERO (CRD 42019143316). A structured electronic and manual search strategy was implied to gather the relevant published data on in vivo human RCTs from their earliest records until 31st October 2019. Relevant data was extracted from the eligible studies, analysed and impartially appraised for its quality. RESULTS Eleven papers met the eligibility criteria and included in this review. The data on standardized study protocol, ideal photosensitizer (PS) dye-wavelength combination, optimal parameters was inconclusive and a high risk of bias in majority of the studies noted, which are fundamental in establishing a standardized and replicable protocol. CONCLUSION Ultimately researchers should conduct well-designed and robust RCTs performed by trained clinicians in order to determine the effectiveness of aPDT, if any, after acknowledging the drawbacks highlighted in this systematic review.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this laboratory study was to investigate the amount of bacterial destruction through riboflavin mediated photodynamic therapy (PDT) around fixed orthodontic devices by using the two strains of bacteria Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sanguinis. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 80 metallic brackets were divided into four groups consisting of 20 brackets each. Group-I: riboflavin + LED irradiation; Group-II: riboflavin alone; Group-III: immersion in 0.2 % chlorhexidine gluconate solution and Group-IV: not submitted to any treatment. All metallic brackets were immersed in the standard bacterial solutions and incubated at 48 h. All samples were subjected to MTT assay for microbial cell viability testing after treatment. After 24 h of incubation, biofilms adhered on the mesh of metallic brackets after treatment were assessed by confocal laser microscopy. The total CFU/mL was estimated, and the results were log-transformed (log10) and analyzed using one-way analysis of variance and Tukey-Kramer test. P-value was set to <0.05 that indicated statistical significance. RESULTS The samples from group-IV showed the highest amount of relative biofilm viability compared to any other group while group-I (PDT) showed the least viability of the two bacterial strains studied (p < 0.05). Group-I showed no significant difference when compared with group-III (chlorhexidine) (p > 0.05). The biofilms on the samples from group-II and group-IV were largely viable indicating thick green staining across the mesh of the brackets. Among the group-III samples, there were predominantly dead cells as compared to the live cell staining. A considerable amount of red staining was observed with noticeable less green staining in group-I samples. CONCLUSION This laboratory investigation revealed that riboflavin mediated PDT significantly reduced the amounts of S. mutans and S. sanguinis around the orthodontic brackets.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clinical efficacy of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) as compared to antibiotics in periodontitis and peri-implantitis has been tested in several clinical trials. Yet controversial results were reported. The aim of the present study was to answer the question: "Will adjunctive antimicrobial photodynamic therapy be more effective than antibiotics agent in the treatment of periodontitis and peri-implantitis?". METHODS Publications compared outcomes between aPDT and antibiotics in adult patients with periodontitis or peri-implantitis, containing more than 3-month follow-up duration, were involved in the systematic review and meta-analysis. PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane Central were searched until December of 2020. Clinical parameters including pocket probing depth (PPD), clinical attachment level (CAL), and bleeding on probing (BOP) were evaluated. The risk of bias was assessed by Cochrane Collaboration Tool. Weighted mean differences (WMD), 95 % confidence interval(CI) and heterogeneity were estimated by Review Manager software. RESULTS 10 trials in periodontitis and 5 trials in peri-implantitis were included. Meta-analysis outcomes revealed equal clinical evidence for aPDT and antibiotics in periodontitis and peri-implantitis. In addition, aPDT significantly reduced the red complex in both diseases. However, owing to the heterogeneity of protocols in articles and the limited number of studies, the comparative conclusion remained unconfirmed. CONCLUSION aPDT can be considered as an alternative to antibiotics in the treatment of peri-implantitis and periodontitis. Given that high heterogeneity in outcome was found in this review, future long-term clinical trials with standard aPDT and antibiotic treatment should be tested to arrive at a firm conclusion.

Abstract
Objective: Although multiple applications of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) and antibiotics (AB) have been proved to have a biomodulatory effect, no systematic review has exclusively compared the effectiveness as an adjunct to scaling and root planning (SRP). This study sought to systematically compare the clinical efficacy of repeated antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (RaPDT) with that of the systemic administered AB as an alternative approach to SRP in treating periodontitis. Methods: In this systematic review, two independent reviewers searched PubMed, Embase, and CENTRAL databases. The primary outcomes assessed were bleeding on probing (BOP), probing pocket depth (PPD), and clinical attachment level (CAL). Results: Five randomized clinical trials were included after screening 457 records. Results revealed that when patients from all studies were categorized based on their baseline CAL, AB demonstrated significant benefits over RaPDT in the improvement of PPD [weighted mean differences (WMD) = -0.36, 95% confidence interval (CI) = -0.71 to -0.02, p < 0.05] in the patients with severe periodontitis (CAL baseline ≥5 mm) 3-month postoperatively, and CAL (WMD = -0.57, 95% CI = -1.11 to -0.04, p < 0.05) at 6-month observation. Nevertheless, AB failed to show significant benefits over RaPDT, when CAL baseline <5 mm in terms of clinical parameters. Conclusions: RaPDT may represent an alternative approach to SRP in treating slight-to-moderate periodontitis cases (CAL <5 mm), whereas AB remain a main therapy for treating severe periodontitis (CAL ≥5 mm).

Abstract
Biofilms have higher levels of antibiotic resistance compared to bacteria, so the alternatives are needed as therapy for diseases caused by biofilm infections. Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) has the advantage of being a safe alternative that involves molecular-level photochemical reactions. The use of different types of exogenous photosensitizers (PS) was done to compare their effectiveness. Turmeric extract containing curcumin has good effectiveness in PDT, whereas nanodoxycycline as an antibiotic has a fairly broad absorption spectrum and is effective as PS. The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of photodynamic therapy on infections by Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans causing periodontitis using exogenous organic and non-organic photosensitisers (PS). The A. actinomycetemcomitans biofilm had been grown on 96-well microplate for 72 hours incubation time. The samples were divided into three groups, treated with Laser diode, Laser + Turmeric Extract 0.5%, and Laser + Nanodoxycycline 0.1%. Treatment was done with a variety of exposure times: 30, 60, 90, 120, and 150 seconds. The data were analyzed using ANOVA test. The results of data analysis showed that diode laser irradiation treatment with endogenous porphyrin, diode laser with Curcumin and diode laser with nanodoxycycline produced significantly different biofilm reductions. Treatment with diode laser irradiation at various energy densities (4.15, 8.28, 12.44, 16.59, and 20.73 J/cm2) showed no significant difference in reducing bacterial biofilm. The treatment with diode and curcumin, and the treatment with diode laser irradiation and nanodoxycyclin showed a significant difference. Diode laser irradiation of 20.73 J/cm2 with irradiation time of 150 seconds resulted in the greatest reduction of biofilm 14.94%, diode laser irradiation + Curcumin 47.82%, and diode laser irradiation + nanodoxycyclin 53.76%. Therefore, PDT using a diode laser combined with exogenous PS extract of curcumin and nanodoxycycline is more effective to reduce bacterial biofilms.

Efficacy of photodynamic therapy, photobiomodulation and antimicrobial agent on the shear bond strength of composite restorations to hypomineralized teeth. Photodiagnosis Photodyn Ther 2021; 33:102188. [PMID: 33497813 DOI: 10.1016/j.pdpdt.2021.102188] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/03/2020] [Revised: 12/30/2020] [Accepted: 01/15/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to investigate the adhesive bond strength and fracture analysis of resin based restorations to carious dentin of hypomineralized molars (HMs) after disinfecting with photodynamic therapy (PDT), Nd:YAG and chlorhexidine (CHX). MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty carious HM molars were investigated. After removal of all carious infected tissue, the cavities were condition with methylene blue initiated PDT, a 1064 nm wavelength Nd:YAG laser or 2.0% CHX gel. Non-carious dentin from HM was used as a control without performing any disinfection or conditioning technique. All samples were bonded using a one-step one-coat adhesive bond over the dentin surface, packed with composite and light cured. All specimens were subjected to thermocycling at 5°C and 60°C with a dwell time of 30 s for 10,000 cycles. Bonded specimens were placed on a universal testing machine with a flat loading head. The debonded surface were viewed under light optical microscope to estimate the type of failure including adhesive, cohesive, and admixed. RESULTS The highest mean SBS was seen in the non-carious HM (control group). The mean score for control group was 17.64 ± 2.96 MPa. The lowest bond strength value was displayed for Group-PDT (11.37 ± 3.66 MPa) and Group-Nd:YAG (12.69 ± 2.45 MPa). Affected dentin disinfected with the Group-CHX (15.71 ± 3.04 MPa) bonded with composite showed statistically significantly higher SBS values compared to the laser groups (p < 0.05). No statistically significant difference was noted with specimens disinfected with PDT and Nd:YAG laser showed comparable SBS scores (p > 0.05). Fracture analysis showed equal incidence of adhesive and cohesive failures in control group and Group-CHX. Moreover, a significant number of failures in group-PDT were related to adhesive. Whereas in group 4, admixed type failures were common. CONCLUSION Caries infected hypomineralized teeth demonstrated lower bond strength values compared to non-carious hypomineralized teeth. Adhesive bond strength of hypomineralized teeth was highest with chlorhexidine compared to other laser treatment strategies.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the micro-tensile bond strength (μ-TBS), degree of conversion, and antimicrobial capacity of modified dentin adhesive using riboflavin photoinitiators. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three groups of adhesives (control; 0.1 % riboflavin-PDT and 0.5 % riboflavin PDT) were prepared and tested on 70 sound molar teeth. Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was performed for riboflavin and riboflavin-modified adhesives to calculate the degree of conversion. Contact angle measurement was performed by dropping a 5 μL droplet of the adhesives onto polished dentin disk. For μ-TBS testing, the dentin beams were fixed on a micro-tensile tester and were loaded in tension at a cross-head speed of 1 mm per min until fracture. The viability of Streptococcus mutans biofilm was tested using MTT assay. RESULTS The spectrum at 1728 cm-1 indicates CO stretching frequency of riboflavin. The groups control and 0.1 % riboflavin PDT showed the highest degree of conversion followed by lowest degree of conversion of 0.5 % riboflavin adhesive after PDT. The control adhesive exhibited the highest contact angle over the dentin surface compared to the riboflavin-modified adhesive groups (p < 0.05). The lowest contact angle was observed for 0.1 % riboflavin that showed increased permeability of the adhesive onto the dentin surface (p < 0.05). The variables of immediate bonding (F = 12.328, p = 0.000) and ageing in artificial saliva (F = 41.559, p = 0.000) significantly affected the bond strength. For aged μ-TBS testing, the scores for 0.1 % riboflavin PDT was significantly higher as compared to the 0.5 % riboflavin PDT samples. The MTT resulted in a lower S. mutans viability for 0.5 % riboflavin PDT compared to 0.1 % riboflavin PDT and control adhesive (p < 0.05), irrespective of any time point, that is, after 24 h and 30 days ageing. CONCLUSIONS The addition of riboflavin as photosensitizer in dentin adhesive demonstrated higher bond strength, excellent antimicrobial capability, and degree of conversion following PDT. The addition of riboflavin in dentin adhesive for PDT could be used as a potential restorative material in adhesive dentistry.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of the present clinical trial was to evaluate the efficacy of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (PDT) for the treatment of halitosis in elderly patients wearing dentures. METHODS Elderly patients (>60 years age) wearing complete dentures and diagnosed with halitosis (H2S levels >112 ppb) were divided into two groups: patients undergoing treatment with tongue scraper and full mouth disinfection (Group I) and patients undergoing treatment with tongue scraper, full mouth disinfection and single application of PDT (Group II). Oral health related quality of life (OHRQoL) was assessed using a 14-point Likert scale used in oral health impact profile (OHIP). The assessment of halitosis was done with the help of a device called Oral Chroma™. Microbial sampling for detection of Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) was performed from the dorsum of the tongue using a sterile swab at baseline and after treatment on day 5, 15 and 30 and quantified using polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS Forty elderly patients with halitosis completed the trial. The mean age in Group I and Group II was estimated to be 66.42 years and 67.91 years, respectively. Group II participants also maintained good OHRQoL in the post-operative period that reported statistically significant difference when compared with the control group (p < 0.01). Group II showed significant improvement in H2S concentration values at final analysis compared to Group-I (p = 0.001). P. gingivalis showed statistically significant reduction on day 5 only with PDT in Group II (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Antimicrobial PDT helped in reducing H2S gas concentration and improving quality of life in elderly patients wearing dentures. A significant reduction of P. gingivalis occurred only in the short-term follow-up.

Abstract
AIM This systematic review and network meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the efficacy of adjunctive locally delivered antimicrobials, compared to subgingival instrumentation alone or plus a placebo, on changes in probing pocket depth (PPD) and clinical attachment level (CAL), in patients with residual pockets during supportive periodontal care. MATERIALS AND METHODS Literature search was performed with electronic databases and by hand until 31 May 2020. Primary outcome was the changes in PPD. The treatment effects between groups were estimated with weighted mean differences (WMD) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) and prediction intervals (PI) by using random-effects network meta-analysis. RESULTS Twenty-two studies were included. Significantly greater PPD reduction was achieved in chlorhexidine chip group (WMD: 0.65 mm, 95% CI: 0.21-1.10) and tetracycline fibre group (WMD: 0.64 mm, 95% CI: 0.20-1.08) over 6-month follow-up. Other adjunctive antimicrobial agents achieved non-significant improvements compared to scaling and root planing alone. All differences between adjunctive therapies were statistically non-significant. Similar findings were observed for CAL gain. CONCLUSION Adjunctive local antimicrobial agents achieved small additional PPD reduction and CAL gain in residual pockets for a follow-up of up to 6 months. Tetracycline fibre and chlorhexidine chip achieved better results than other antimicrobials.

Antimicrobial Capacity and Surface Alterations Using Photodynamic Therapy and Light Activated Disinfection on Polymer-Infiltrated Ceramic Material Contaminated with Periodontal Bacteria. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2020; 13:ph13110350. [PMID: 33137995 PMCID: PMC7693966 DOI: 10.3390/ph13110350] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2020] [Revised: 10/26/2020] [Accepted: 10/26/2020] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
This study determined the antimicrobial efficiency of light-activated disinfection (LAD) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) on polymer-infiltrated ceramic network (PICN) material contaminated with three periodontal bacteria and explored if PDT and LAD cause PICN surface alterations. Sixty PICN discs were contaminated with Tannerella forsythia, Porphyromonas gingivalis, and Treponema denticola and randomly divided into five groups (n = 12 samples/each) according to the treatment groups: Group PDT-PDT (630 ± 10 nm diode laser) with methylene blue; Group DL-808 nm diode laser in contact mode without photosensitizer; Group MB-methylene blue without light application; Group CHX-0.12% chlorhexidine digluconate solution and; Group NT-no treatment. Each disc was then placed in tubes containing phosphate buffered saline (PBS) and vortexed for 30 s to remove the remaining bacteria from the discs. A total of 10× serial dilutions were performed followed by plating of 30 μL of suspension on Brucella agar plates. The colony forming units (CFU) were calculated after 72 h. PICN discs with the attached biofilms were used for confocal microscopy investigation for live/dead bacterial viability. A random single sample from each group was selected to study the bacterial adherence and topographical alterations on PICN discs under scanning electron microscope (SEM). The PDT group showed higher reduction for each bacterial species and total counts of bacteria assessed followed by the DL group (p < 0.05). When compared with MB group, the two laser groups were significantly superior (p < 0.05). The MB group did not show significant differences for any bacteria when compared to NT. The bacteria with the CHX group and DL groups appeared dead with few areas of surviving green stained bacteria. The PDT group showed the highest dead cell count (p < 0.05). PDT and DL groups indicate no significant changes on the surface compared to the sterile PICN discs on visual assessment. Photodynamic therapy produced superior periodontal bacteria reduction over the surface of PICN surface. PDT group showed higher reduction for each bacterial species and total counts of bacteria assessed followed by the DL group. Both PDT and DL treatment strategies are effective without producing surface alterations on PICN.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE This systematic review documents the up-to-date evidence on the efficacy of photodynamic therapy (PDT) on the push-out bond strength of fiber posts cemented to root dentin. MATERIALS AND METHODS The focused PICO question was: "What impact does PDT have on the push-out bond strength of fiber posts cemented to root dentin?" This systematic review followed the guidelines and recommendations reported in the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines chart. An electronic search was performed in MEDLINE/PubMed, SCOPUS, Web of Science, and Embase from January 1980 up to and including January 2020. Heterogeneity was calculated for push-out bond strength by means of the Chi-square test and I2 statistics. For meta-analyses, if the I2 was higher than 50 %, a random effects model was used, otherwise a fixed effects model for I2 ≤50 % was applied. A p-value <0.05 was set for significant heterogeneity. Forest plots were computed reporting standard mean differences (SMD) of outcomes and 95 % confidence intervals (CI). RESULTS In total, ten studies were included, all of wich demonstrated medium risk of bias. All studies tested the push-out bond strength by means of a universal testing machine with applying a load ranging between 0.5 and 1 mm/min speed. Of the 10 studies, nine (90 %) indicated that PDT had no effect on push-out bond strength of fiber posts to root dentin. Only one study indicated that PDT significantly improved the bond strength when compared with other control groups. The overall mean difference for push out bond strength showed no statistically significant difference between PDT and the control group (SMD = -1.11 [-3.25, 1.02], Z=-1.02, p = 0.305). CONCLUSION This systematic review concludes that PDT has no effect on improving the push-out bond strength of fiber posts to root dentin.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of the present randomized controlled clinical trial was to evaluate the efficacy of photodynamic therapy (PDT) on halitosis in adolescent patients undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-five adolescents with halitosis undergoing orthodontic treatment were equally randomized into three groups: Group - I: provision of treatment through PDT on dorsum of tongue; Group - II: provision of treatment with the help of tongue scrappers (TS); Group - III: provision of treatment with the help of TS and adjunctive PDT. Presence of halitosis confirmed on the basis of gas chromatography and estimation of oral malodour with a cysteine challenge and H2S values recorded ≥112 parts per billion (ppb). A portable device Oral Chroma™ was used for performing breath analysis. A total of 5 bacterial species including P. gingivalis, F. nucleatum, P. intermedia, T. forsythia and T. denticola were studied as the proportion of sites defined as having ≥1.0 × 105 bacterial cells. RESULTS The mean age of the participants in Group-I, II and III were 15.4 years, 13.8 years, and 14.2 years, respectively. The median values for Group-I, II and III at initial breath analysis were 874 ppb, 613 ppb and 1089 ppb, respectively. After treatment with the respective therapeutic modalities, a statistically significant difference was seen among groups after 2-weeks (p < 0.0001) (Table 3). After applying Kruskal-Wallis test, group-III showed the highest amount of reduction in H2S concentration (100 %) at final 2-weeks breath analysis compared to group-I and group-II (p = 0.0001). Descriptive statistics for all bacteria showed that group-III (TS + PDT) statistically significantly reduced the proportional distribution of all bacteria at 2-week follow-up (p < 0.0001) compared to group-I or group-II. CONCLUSION PDT along with tongue scrapping showed effective immediate reduction of H2S concentration and reduction of oral pathogens in adolescent patients undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment with short-term follow up. Long-term evaluation and complete eradication of halitosis needs to be explored in further clinical trials. In addition, the cost of PDT and its potential side effects should not be disregarded.

[PMID: 32916329 DOI: 10.1016/j.pdpdt.2020.101998] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2020] [Revised: 08/30/2020] [Accepted: 09/04/2020] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of photodynamic therapy (PDT) on clinical gingival inflammatory parameters, bacterial load, proinflammatory cytokine status, and pain scores in adolescent patients undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment with gingivitis. METHODS Thirty adolescent undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment with gingivitis were randomly divided into two groups: Group A - patients undergoing dental scaling (DS) with adjunctive photodynamic therapy (PDT) and Group BDS alone. Clinical gingival parameters including plaque scores, (PS), bleeding on probing (BOP) and probing depth (PD) were assessed. Visual analogue scale (VAS) and McGill Pain Questionnaire (MPQ) were used to report the values of present pain intensity. Crevicular fluid was sampled to quantify the levels of interleukin (IL)-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The total bacterial counts for Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) and Tannerella forsythia (T. forsythia) were assessed. All examinations were performed at baseline, 1 week and 4 weeks. RESULTS Both the treatment regimens reported statistically significant reduction in PS and BOP (p < 0.05). However, no significant difference was observed in PS and PD values when Group B was compared with Group A (p > 0.05). There was a statistically significant reduction noted for BOP in Group B when compared to Group A (p < 0.05). There was a statistically significant reduction in the microbial counts of T. forsythia in Group A when compared to Group B at week-1 (p < 0.05). During the 4-week follow-up, the counts for T. forsythia significantly increased. No significant changes could be seen in either of the pain scores in both the groups (p > 0.05). Both groups showed statistically significant reduction in the IL-6 and TNF-α levels. However, IL-6 was significantly reduced at 1 week, while TNF-a significantly reduced at 4 weeks of follow up among the participants in Group B. CONCLUSION PDT has a positive effect in significantly reducing the periodontal microbial load in established gingivitis in adolescent patients undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment.

Abstract
Background: In spite of some advances in periodontal generative methods, it is impossible to stop progressive Loss of supporting alveolar bone in some end-stage periodontitis. The aim of this study is to report a kind of treatment modality which was seemed to be successes full in maintaining teeth. In this case-report, a hopeless tooth was saved by combined non-surgical periodontalendodontal treatment and antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT). Case Report: A 58-year-old male presented with a chief complaint of pain and mobility of tooth number 38. Clinical examinations revealed a periodontic-endodontic lesion with clinical attachment loss exceeding 10 mm and grade III mobility. To preserve the tooth, we operated nonsurgical periodontal treatment including scaling and root planning (SRP) plus root canal therapy (RCT) combined with intra-root canal non-aPDT laser decontamination. Then we applied laser pocket therapy with and without aPDT. Following 6 months of the aPDT treatment, the mobility and pocket depth of the tooth improved from grade III to I and from 10 to 3 millimeters respectively. Conclusion: aPDT is a novel adjunctive therapy that can be used for various conditions with microbial etiology. This case report demonstrated that aPDT might be effective in the treatment of periodontic-endodontic lesions in a hopeless tooth.

Abstract
AIM The aim of the present clinical trial is to evaluate the clinical, bacterial, and immunological outcomes of photodynamic therapy (PDT) in adolescent patients with orthodontic treatment-induced gingival enlargement (OTGE). MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 26 adolescent patients, 16 girls and 10 boys, of mean age 16.8 years, undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment for at least 6 months (mean duration in months, 8.3 ± 1.9) and presenting with GE were included in the clinical trial. All patients undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment with clinical diagnosis of OTGE were divided into two groups: Patients receiving full-mouth periodontal debridement (FMPD) 'Group-FMPD' and 'Group-PDT' included participants receiving methylene blue-assisted PDT in the selected area along with FMPD. Clinical periodontal assessments included the evaluation of plaque scores (PS), bleeding on probing (BOP), probing depth (PD) and hyperplastic index (HI). The total bacterial counts of Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis), Treponema denticola (T. denticola), and Tannerella forsythia (T. forsythia) were estimated and expressed as log CFU/mL of each bacteria. Cytokines including interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-6 were analyzed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit. RESULTS The mean percentage of PS and BOP statistically significantly reduced with both FMPD and PDT from baseline to 4 weeks (p < 0.05). Although mean PD significantly reduced in both the groups at all time points, there was significantly higher reduction with PDT as compared to FMPD at 2 weeks post treatment (p < 0.05). Inter-group comparison showed PDT demonstrated significantly higher HI at 2- and 4-weeks post treatment (p < 0.05). The mean log CFU/mL of P. gingivalis and T. forsythia showed statistically significantly higher reduction with PDT than FMPD (p < 0.05) at both 2-and 4-weeks follow-up. T. denticola reported significantly reduced levels at 2 weeks follow-up period only with PDT (p < 0.05). No statistically significant difference appeared when both treatment modalities were compared with one another (p > 0.05). Four weeks after periodontal treatment, IL-6 significantly reduced with PDT compared to FMPD (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION PDT assisted in reducing bacterial counts and improving hyperplastic index in OTGE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this systematic review is to compare the effectiveness of lasers in the treatment of implant mucositis and peri-implantitis compared to conventional treatment (non-surgical or surgical: resective or regenerative). METHODS Sources of PubMed, Cochrane and Google Scholar search engines were used on articles published from 1997 to 2020 in English, with selected keyword criteria applied. Nine randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were selected. RESULTS All included studies were considered of "high quality" according to the quality assessment scale. The comparative assessment of the RCTs was done twice for each RCT based on the type of treatment and according to wavelength. There is strong scientific evidence that, regarding non-surgical treatment, adjunct laser application can provide better results only in the short term (three months). Regarding the surgical approach, the method of decontamination plays a subordinate role. All wavelengths/applications presented similar results. CONCLUSION Within the limitations of this study, the adjunctive use of lasers in the treatment of peri-implant inflammation is effective for up to three months; there is no strong evidence regarding the long term benefit compared to conventional treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this 4 week follow up randomized controlled clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of photodynamic therapy (PDT) as an adjunct to ultrasonic scaling (US) in the reduction of gingival inflammatory parameters and periodontal pathogens in established gingival inflammation in adolescent patients undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 22 adolescent patients (mean age: 17.5 years) undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment and presenting with persistent local gingival inflammation were randomized into two groups: Group-US: patients receiving ultrasonic scaling (US) with usual oral hygiene instructions and Group-PDT: in which patients received adjunctive PDT with US. Dichotomous recording for plaque scores (PS) and bleeding on probing (BOP) was used to assess the clinical inflammatory status. The total bacterial counts of P. gingivalis and T. forsythia were estimated and were expressed as log CFU/mL. All assessments were performed at baseline, 1 week and 4 weeks. For intergroup comparisons, student's t-test was computed along with Bonferroni correction for post hoc multiple comparisons. To identify differences between repeated follow-ups, ANOVA multiple rank test was used. RESULTS Both treatment modalities reported statistically significant reduction in PS and BOP in patients undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment (p < 0.05). However, there was no significant difference in PS and BOP when US was compared with PDT (p > 0.05). Group-US showed statistically significant reduction in T. forsythia at 1 week only (p < 0.05). Group-PDT showed statistically significant reduction in P. gingivalis and T. forsythia from baseline to 1 week and 4 weeks (p < 0.05). This was also significant when compared with US on both the time points (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION PDT was effective in significantly reducing periodontal pathogens in established gingivitis lesions in adolescent patients undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment in short term.

Abstract
AIM We evaluated the efficacy of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (A-PDT) in the reduction of pain intensity and performed cytokine profiling and measurement of microbiological parameters in patients with acute pericoronitis. METHODS Sixty patients with age range 14-19 years were randomized into two groups: 'A-PDT group' which received additional A-PDT with conventional protocol, and 'conventional protocol group' (CPG) without A-PDT. Present pain intensity (PPI) were investigated using McGill Pain Questionnaire (MPQ) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Gingival crevicular fluid were sampled to evaluate the levels of interleukin (IL)-6 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and quantified using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Microbial plaque was collected to evaluate total counts of Porphyromonas gingivalis and Tannerella forsythia expressed as log colony forming unit (CFU)/mL. Level of pain intensity, cytokine profiling and microbial load were assessed at baseline (B0), and post treatment F7 (Day 7) and F14 (Day 14). RESULTS A total of 59 patients (30 CPG and 29 A-PDT) completed the clinical trial. Present pain intensity scores statistically significantly reduced from B0 to F7 in both treatment groups (p < 0.05). For VAS, both groups showed statistically significant reduction in pain scores at F14 only when compared with baseline (p < 0.05). There was no inter-group significant difference at any time point for either pain scores (p > 0.05). Only TNF-α showed statistically significant reduction with A-PDT compared to CPG at both F7 and F14. CPG group showed significant reduction for only T. forsythia at both follow-up points. The microbial counts for P. gingivalis and T. forsythia significantly reduced in A-PDT groups compared to CPG group at both F7 and F14. CONCLUSION The results of this study indicate that A-PDT may be a reliable treatment option in pericoronitis for the reduction of TNF-α and microbial load. However, A-PDT does not have any effect in the reduction of pain.

[PMID: 32485402 DOI: 10.1016/j.pdpdt.2020.101839] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/13/2020] [Revised: 05/21/2020] [Accepted: 05/26/2020] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
AIM We aimed to explore the morphological changes with photodynamic therapy (PDT) in experimentally produced periapical lesions in rats, and to investigate if PDT used as an adjunct to conventional root canal debridement helps to enhance healing the inflammatory response around root apex of rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty adult Sprague-Dawley male rats (70-90 days/140-160 g) were experimented. Pulp was removed from the mesial root of the first maxillary molar and left open to oral environment to allow the formation of periapical lesion. The rats were numbered and randomly divided into two groups: (i) PDT group (n = 30) received a single session of PDT with conventional debridement and, (ii) Control group (n = 30) received conventional debridement but with no PDT. PDT application involved the use of methylene blue photosensitizer for 5 min inside the root canals and irradiated with diode laser of 805 nm and 20 W power output for 90 s and sealed. After 4 weeks, the experimental rats were sacrificed by cervical dislocation. The maxillary first molar was then collected along with the surrounding tissue for further processing. Hematoxylin and eosin and immunohistochemical staining were used to observe the morphological effects. Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen (PCNA), STRO-1 and CD-44 were used as the primary antibodies for the immunohistochemical study. RESULTS A reduction in inflammatory cells, which were mainly composed of lymphocytes, was observed in the periapical lesions after PDT. The number of PCNA-positive cells increased to approximately twice in the PDT as compared to the control group. These PCNA-positive cells included STRO-1 and CD-44 positive cells, indicating enhancement of wound healing and reduction in inflammatory cells. CONCLUSION The findings of the present experimental study indicate that PDT application induced proliferation of PCNA-positive cells, which included STRO-1 and CD44-positive cells. This suggests that PDT may help to enhance healing periapical lesion, indicating the potential of PDT in the treatment of periapical periodontitis.
