The effect of photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy (PACT) on oral biofilms was evaluated.
Biofilms formed in vitro were treated with sensitizer (S) and/or light (L) in the test (S+L+) and control (S-L-, S+L-, S-L+) groups. Additionally, 21 volunteers wore intraoral devices and the biofilms formed on each side of the device were referred to as S+L+ or S-L- groups.
Significant decreases in the viability of in vitro biofilms were observed after PACT. PACT was ineffective in inhibiting multi-species biofilms formed in situ.
PACT was effective on in vitro biofilms and was ineffective on in situ biofilms.
评估光动力抗菌化疗(PACT)对口腔生物膜的作用。
用敏化剂(S)和/或光(L)在实验组(S+L+)和对照组(S-L-、S+L-、S-L-)中处理体外形成的生物膜。此外,21 名志愿者佩戴口腔内装置,装置两侧形成的生物膜分别称为 S+L+或 S-L-组。
PACT 后,体外生物膜的活力明显下降。PACT 对原位形成的多菌种生物膜无效。
PACT 对体外生物膜有效,对原位生物膜无效。
