The treatment of periodontitis with the use of bacteriotoxical light therapy - microbiological study

Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the antibacterial effect of bacteriotoxical light-therapy on root canal dentine. The microbial colonisation of root canal dentine can lead to failures in conventional endodontic treatment if only an inadequate bacterial reduction is achieved through canal treatment and chemical disinfection. The new opportunities present the possibility of using bacteriotoxical light-therapy in treatment of periodontitis.
