Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy to Control Clinically Relevant Biofilm Infections.
Xiaoqing Hu,Ying-Ying Huang,Yuguang Wang,Yuguang Wang,Xiaoyuan Wang,Michael R. Hamblin,Michael R. Hamblin +6 more
TL;DR: Antimicrobial Photodynamic therapy (aPDT) had been recently proposed to combat clinically relevant biofilms such as dental biofilmms, ventilator associated pneumonia, chronic wound infections, oral candidiasis, and chronic rhinosinusitis and a brief section provides suggestions for future research.

Antimicrobial efficacy of methylene blue-mediated photodynamic therapy on titanium alloy surfaces in vitro.
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.

Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy—A discovery originating from the pre-antibiotic era in a novel periodontal therapy
TL;DR: It indicates, that aPDT has an influence on the extent of inflammation and further studies are needed to establish an optimal protocol of treatment combining mechanical debridement with photochemotherapy in order to obtain good treatment outcomes in patients.

Photoinactivation Using Visible Light Plus Water-Filtered Infrared-A (vis+wIRA) and Chlorine e6 (Ce6) Eradicates Planktonic Periodontal Pathogens and Subgingival Biofilms
Ali Al-Ahmad,Aleksander Walankiewicz,Elmar Hellwig,Marie Follo,Christian Tennert,Annette Wittmer,Lamprini Karygianni +6 more
TL;DR: The significant antimicrobial effects revealed in this study highlight the potential of aPDT using this light source in combination with Ce6 as an adjunctive method to treat periodontitis as well as periimplantitis.

Photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy (PACT).
TL;DR: Photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy (PACT), which predates the related cancer regimen, is proposed as a potential, low-cost approach to the treatment of locally occurring infection.

Photodynamic Therapy Targeted to Pathogens
TL;DR: This work has used genetically modified bioluminescent bacteria to follow the effect of PDT in infected wounds, burns, and soft tissue infections in mice and found that mice were saved from death due to sepsis and wound healing was improved.

TL;DR: Using a diode laser of proper power and wavelength to deliver 60 s of irradiation could be a useful adjunct with mechanical debridement in the prevention of the re-colonisation of subgingival lesions by pathogenic microorganisms.
