Abstract

Introduction: Nowadays, antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) has been introduced as one of the minimally invasive methods for disinfection of the surfaces of dental implants. Being derived from seaweed, Chlorella has been used as a photosensitizer in this study. This study aimed to investigate the impacts of aPDT with Chlorella on the rate of reduction of Streptococcus salivarius in vitro. Methods: The minimum inhibitory concentration of Chlorella, the sublethal exposure to 660 nm diode laser irradiation, and the minimum sublethal dose of aPDT utilizing Chlorella against S. salivarius were determined. Finally, the CFU/mL value of each plate was calculated. Then, Tukey HSD and one-way ANOVA tests were utilized for comparison the number of colonies after the interventions. Results: A concentration of 250 µg/mL of Chlorella at an irradiation time of 3 minutes, was identified as a sublethal dose of aPDT for the reduction of S. salivarius. In contrast, the application of aPDT utilizing a 660 nm diode laser for 4 minutes in combination with Chlorella at a final concentration of 500 µg/mL, demonstrated significantly greater efficacy in reducing S. salivarius compared to the other experimental groups (P<0.001). Conclusion: Chlorella 500 µg/mL mediated aPDT (660 nm, 4 minutes) has a significant effect on reducing S. salivarius count. © (2024), (Laser Application in Medical Sciences Research Center).
