Susceptibility of planktonic cultures of Streptococcus mutans to photodynamic therapy with a light-emitting diode
1 Dec 2010
Abstract excerpt
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of photodynamic therapy with erythrosine and rose bengal using a light-emitting diode (LED) on planktonic cultures of S. mutans. Ten S. mutans strains, including nine clinical strains and one reference strain (ATCC 35688), were used. Suspensions containing 10⁶ cells/mL were prepared for each strain and were tested under different experimental conditions: a)...
