Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy for treatment of oral biofilm associated diseases – where we are -

Abstract from Håkon Valens lecture at symposium PDT-4. Human antimicrobial PDT. ESP-IUPB World Congress, Light & Life, Barcelona, Spain. August 25-30. 2019. Bacteria in the oral cavity lives primarily in polymicrobial biofilms. Oral mature biofilms may contain several hundred different bacterial species, and over 600 different species have been shown to colonize the oral cavity. […]

Antibacterial photodynamic therapy for treatment of oral biofilms related to periodontal and peri-implant diseases -

Abstract from Håkon Valens lecture at symposium MED-10 Dentistry. (Organized by Ellen Bruzell). ESP-IUPB World Congress, Light & Life, Barcelona, Spain. August 25-30. 2019. Oral biofilm formation around teeth and dental implants may cause inflammation of the surrounding tissue, which may lead to breakdown of the attachment of the tooth or implant. Ultimately, if left […]

Photostability of an anionic porphyrin in natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES) -

Abstract from Krister Grønliens lecture at symposium PDT-4. Human antimicriobial PDT. ESP-IUPB World Congress, Light & Life, Barcelona, Spain. August 25-30. 2019. Natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES) is a group of eutectics that is based solely on environmental-friendly (“Green”) components. These solvents have unique solubilizing properties; i.e. they are more polar than water but can […]

Light sources and light-dependent procedures in dentistry -

Abstract from Ellen Bruzells lecture at symposium MED-10 Dentistry. (Organized by Ellen Bruzell). ESP-IUPB World Congress, Light & Life, Barcelona, Spain. August 25-30. 2019. Dental personnel encounter a number of optical sources emitting a broad spectrum of wavelengths. Along with the usefulness, to various extents, of optical radiation in treatment and diagnostics, comes the risk […]
