Abstract
Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) is based on the application of a photosensitizing agent on the injured tissue followed by low-level laser therapy (LLLT) emission on the region. The interaction generates free radicals and oxidation of the plasma membrane of microorganisms, providing antimicrobia, antiviral and antifungal activity without harming healthy host cells. Is considered a noninvasive, local, painless procedure, which has the advantage of tissue biostimulating, helping to reduce the administration of systemic medications in immunosuppressed patients. The photosensitizing agent (methylene blue 0.01%) was applied over all lesions and, after 5 minutes, LLLT was used at 660 nm, on contact mode, point by point, with 100 mW, 178 J/cm 2, 6J, and 60s per point, with sessions every 24 hours depending on clinical evolution. Widely used in the treatment of oral lesions in adult and pediatric patients, in herpetic lesions, candidiasis, Paracoccidioidomycosis, osteonecrosis of the jaws, and osteoradionecrosis, with success.
期刊介绍:
Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology and Oral Radiology is required reading for anyone in the fields of oral surgery, oral medicine, oral pathology, oral radiology or advanced general practice dentistry. It is the only major dental journal that provides a practical and complete overview of the medical and surgical techniques of dental practice in four areas. Topics covered include such current issues as dental implants, treatment of HIV-infected patients, and evaluation and treatment of TMJ disorders. The official publication for nine societies, the Journal is recommended for initial purchase in the Brandon Hill study, Selected List of Books and Journals for the Small Medical Library.
