Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The role of various plant extracts and natural compounds either alone or in combination for carrying out PDT on different types of cancers are discussed.

106 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this review article, the applications of various nanoparticles that can be used for photodynamic therapy (PDT), such as: plasmonic nanoparticles, quantum dots and upconversion nanoparticles are described, which exhibit higher photostability and resistance to enzymatic degradation, and hence could replace organic photosensitizers in PDT therapy.

59 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Investigation of the enhanced photoinactivation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus using toluidine blue conjugated carbon nanotubes revealed the ability of TBCNT conjugate to inhibit biofilm formation after photodynamic treatment.

57 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Antibacterial testing shows the nanocomposite in the form of foil kills Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae and is very effective after only a 15 min irradiation.

54 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Curcumin photosensitizer, with or without photodynamic therapy, changed the mechanical properties of intraradicular dentin; however, the Martens hardness and bond strength values did not differ with the depth of the dentin.

53 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: It remains debatable whether PDT as an adjunct to SRP is more effective in clinical attachment level gain as compared toSRP alone in cigarette smokers given that the available scientific evidence is weak.

51 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: This review will focus on the current applications of AuNPs in different aspects, such as imaging, drug and gene delivery, radiotherapy, and photothermal therapy of liver cancer treatment.

49 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The principle of UCNPs as chemical sensors based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) and research progress in such chemical sensors for detecting and analyzing bioactive substances and heavy metal ions at the subcellular level has been summarized.

48 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: A novel classification method that discriminates tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC) from non-tumorous tissue with deep convolutional neural networks and fiber optic Raman spectroscopy is presented, showing the superiority for the ConvNets classifier.

47 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Conditioning of LDC using Self-etch ceramic primer showed better SBS outcomes as compared to phototherapy (Er, Cr: YSGG laser), and phototherapy using laser at frequency 30 Hz and 4.5 W can be used as a surface conditioner for LDC alternate to HF acid.

47 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Conditioning of dentin with photobiomodulation for the adhesive bonding of BARM showed comparable bond strength outcomes to conventional conditioning techniques.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Outcomes of SRP with or without aPDT for the treatment of CP are compromised in cigarette-smokers, and among never-smoker with CP, outcomes ofSRP with and without adjunct antimicrobial photodynamic therapy are comparable.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: This preliminary study shows that serum Raman spectroscopy combined with the airPLS-PCA-PSO-SVM model can be used for hepatitis B virus detection.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In periodontal patients enrolled in a maintenance program one single session of SRP followed by 3x application of aPDT, additionally enhanced the clinical and microbiological outcomes compared to SRP alone.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that the developed NPs can incorporate dual-modality imaging capability into a photo absorber for CT/MR imaging-guided tumor PTT.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: SDT using NiFe2O4/C attained success in destroying melanoma cancer and can be developed and introduced as an alternative treatment strategy for melanomacancer.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: MB-mediated PDT could effectively kill the majority of bacteria on the titanium alloy surfaces of biofilm-contaminated implants compared with the MB alone, and exhibited better antibacterial efficacy with increase in the MB concentration and irradiation time.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: It was concluded that violet LED enhanced the bleaching effect when used with 10%PC gels, and a discreet effect was seen when used either in conjunction with 17.5%PH or alone.


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Investigating the effect of photodynamic therapy using curcumin (CUR) and methylene blue (MB) photosensitizers on S. mutans colonies found that MB- and CUR-mediated PDT can significantly eradicate the bacterium.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Since one of the main purposes in root canal therapy is to eliminate the bacteria, this study showed that the application of TAP, PDT, and LED exposure lead to least biofilm thickness.


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: No additional benefit was seen in the improvement of clinical periodontal parameters and systemic (HbA1c levels) outcomes with PDT except that a minor reduction in the levels of AGEs in the GCF was observed with PDT in the short term.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: A power-law function was used to fit inactivation kinetics and directly report values of lethal doses (LD) and a tolerance factor (T) that informs if inactivation rate varies along the irradiation procedure.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: C. albicans was the most common species on both dentures and palates of patients throughout the study period followed by C. tropicalis and C. glabrata and PDI was equally effective for the treatment of DS.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: ICG and EDTA-mediated PACT combined with antibiotics synergistically enhanced the effects of sterilization and biofilm destruction.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: PDT appears to be a useful therapeutic strategy in the management of oral leukoplakia as a non-surgical treatment and further RCTs with long follow-up period, standardized PDT parameters, and comparing efficacy of PDT with various other therapies are needed to acquire definite conclusions.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Preliminary results revealed that PDT is an effective treatment modality in the management of OPMDs, the overall efficacy of which is influenced by several factors.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Combination approach is effective in treating genital CA and preventing CA recurrence, but its limitations need to be recognized as the late-onset CA might occur near the treated area.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Although aPDT may be an efficient and less invasive complementary approach to disinfect deep caries lesions, there is insufficient scientific evidence of its efficacy to warrant a clinical recommendation for its use.
