Photodynamic Therapy (PDT)

Photodynamic Therapy (PDT):

Photodynamic therapy (PDT), which is widely used today for treating many conditions—including oral and dental diseases—is a two‑step treatment. It combines light energy with a photosensitizing agent (such as methylene blue, toluidine blue, or indocyanine green) to eliminate bacteria. When irradiated with a low‑level laser at a specific wavelength, the photosensitizer is activated and generates reactive oxygen species (ROS). These highly reactive species cause irreversible damage to bacterial DNA and cell membranes, thereby eliminating bacteria and other microorganisms.

Indications / Uses:

  • Elimination of bacteria in dental caries prior to placement of restorative material
  • Removal of plaque around teeth and implants
  • Treatment of oral fungal infection in immunocompromised patients
  • Oral decontamination before and during surgical procedures
  • Treatment of inflammation and redness of mucosa beneath prostheses
  • Elimination of bacteria within the root canal system
  • Treatment of periodontal pockets

Green+I

Green+I is an antibacterial dye solution containing indocyanine green at a concentration of 1 mg/ml. When activated by low‑level laser irradiation, it effectively eliminates both Gram‑positive and Gram‑negative bacteria locally. In addition, using this product as an alternative to antibiotics for oral and dental infections may help reduce issues related to antibiotic resistance and the emergence of new resistant strains.

Kit Contents (Green+I):

  • 1 mg indocyanine green dye
  • 1 cc sterile water for injection
  • 1 × 1‑cc syringe
  • 1 × gray syringe tip
  • 1 × blue syringe tip

Blue*M and Blue*T

Blue*M and Blue*T contain methylene blue and toluidine blue, respectively, each at a concentration of 100 µg/ml.

Kit Contents (Blue*M):

  • 3 × 1.2‑cc syringes of methylene blue dye
  • 6 × syringe tips

Kit Contents (Blue*T):

  • 3 × 1.2‑cc syringes of toluidine blue dye
  • 6 × syringe tips
