Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is used in curative and palliative treatment of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and other oral lesions. Oral infections (such as mucosal and endodontic infections, periodontal diseases, caries, and peri-implantitis) are among the specific targets where PDT can be applied Photodynamic therapy (PDT) efficacy depends on the local dose deposited in the lesion as well as oxygen availability in the lesion. Further long-term clinical studies are necessary in establishing a more specific place of the technique in the field of dentistry.
光动力疗法(PDT)用于头颈部鳞状细胞癌(HNSCC)及其他口腔病变的根治性和姑息性治疗。口腔感染(如黏膜和牙髓感染、牙周疾病、龋齿和种植体周围炎)是光动力疗法(PDT)可应用的特定靶点。光动力疗法(PDT)的疗效取决于病变部位沉积的局部剂量以及病变部位的氧可用性。在确定该技术在牙科领域更具体的应用位置方面,还需要进一步的长期临床研究。
