Genetic and Physiological Effects of Noncoherent Visible Light Combined with Hydrogen Peroxide on Streptococcus mutans in Biofilm
4 Mar 2008
Abstract excerpt
Oral biofilms are associated with the most common infections of the oral cavity. Bacteria embedded in the biofilms are less sensitive to antibacterial agents than planktonic bacteria are. Recently, an antibacterial synergic effect of noncoherent blue light and hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) on planktonic Streptococcus mutans was demonstrated. In this study, we tested the effect of a combination of light and...
