Especificidad y Sensibilidad de Sistema ICDAS TM versus Índice COPD en la Detección de Caries

RESUMEN: La caries dental no tratada es la enfermedad crónica más frecuente en adultos y la caries no tratada en dientes temporales es la décima enfermedad crónica más frecuente. En Chile los adultos presentan un COPD promedio entre 3,76 - 22,16, pero los estudios no son en población representativa...

Chlorophyll treatment combined with photostimulation increases glycolysis and decreases oxidative stress in the liver of type 1 diabetic rats

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 53 (1), 2020
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) promotes cell death, and it has been successfully employed as a treatment resource for neuropathic complications of diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and hepatocellular carcinoma. The liver is the major organ involved in the regulation of energy homeostasis, and in pathological conditio...

Avaliação clínica e histopatológica da eficácia do tratamento utilizando terapia fotodinâmica associada ao laser de baixa potência em pacientes portadores de queilite actínica - Um acompanhamento de 6 meses

Rev. bras. odontol; 77 (1), 2020
O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar a eficácia clínica e histopatológica da terapia fotodinâmica (TFD) associada à terapia a laser de baixa potência no tratamento de pacientes com queilite actínica (QA) após seis meses de acompanhamento. Material e Métodos: pacientes com QA ativa foram sub...

Efeito de análogos de curcumina, irradiados ou não por LED, como agentes antimicrobianos e indutores de proliferação e migração celular

O tratamento endodôntico de dentes permanentes jovens com infecções pulpares/periapicais antes de completar a rizogênese ainda é um desafio para a Endodontia e a Odontopediatria. Relatos científicos têm mostrado que a curcumina (CUR), um fitoquímico polifenólico, apresenta diversas propriedades ...

Influência da terapia fotodinâmica na resistência de união do cimento obturador à dentina intrarradicular e na morfologia da interface adesiva

Introdução: A terapia fotodinâmica (TFD) é utilizada como coadjuvante ao tratamento endodôntico para potencializar a redução microbiana no sistema de canais radiculares. No entanto, a literatura carece de estudos sobre as consequências da TFD na resistência de união do cimento obturador à dent...

In Vitro Evaluation of the Antibacterial Effect of Photodynamic Therapy with Methylene Blue

Abstract Objective: To evaluate, in vitro, the effect of photodynamic therapy (PDT) compared to laser therapy and the use of a photosensitizer alone. Material and Methods: The following therapies were used: PDT, laser therapy and photosensitizer alone. For PDT, methylene blue (MB) at different concentr...

Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy in the Endodontic Treatment of Deciduous Teeth: In Vivo Pilot Study

Abstract Objective: To evaluate the Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy (aPDT) in infected deciduous teeth by quantifying the viable bacteria in root canal treatment. Material and Methods: Radicular canal cultures were collected (n= 10). Four intra-canal samples were collected at four different times i...

Enhanced anti-tumor efficacy of 5-aminolevulinic acid-gold nanoparticles-mediated photodynamic therapy in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma cells

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 53 (5), 2020
The objective of this study was to investigate whether the conjugation of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) to 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) could enhance the anti-tumor efficiency of photodynamic therapy (PDT) in epidermoid carcinoma cells. The mRNA and protein expression levels were determined by quantitative ...

The ineffectiveness of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy in the absence of preincubation of the microorganisms in the photosensitizer

Abstract Introduction: Considering its potential as an alternative therapy to combat multiresistant bacteria, photodynamic therapy has been improved and better studied in recent years, and determining its optimized application patterns is important. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the action ...

5-Aminolevulinic acid photoactivated over planktonic and biofilm forms of Enterococcus faecalis as a pharmacological therapy alternative

The purpose of the study was to evaluate the antibacterial effect of protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) generated by the exogenous administration of 5-aminolevulinic acid or δ-ALA and activated with an argon laser over a planktonic and biofilm of Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) as a pharmacological therapy al...
