Objectives: This study aimed to assess antimicrobial efficacy, cytotoxicity, and cytokine release (IL-1b, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α) from human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) of chitosan (CH) and hydroxyapatite (HAp)-modified glass ionomer cements (GIC).
Methods: GICs with varied CH and HAp concentrations (0 %, 0.16 %, 2 %, 5 %, 10 %) were tested against S.
Plant extract incorporated into glass ionomer cement as a photosensitizing agent for antimicrobial photodynamic therapy on Streptococcus mutans.

Article Synopsis
- A plant extract called Dioscorea altissima (EB) is being studied as a potential replacement for methylene blue as a photosensitizer in antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) against harmful caries-causing bacteria like Streptococcus mutans.
- The study involved various groups testing combinations of glass ionomer cement (GIC) with EB and different laser treatments to evaluate their effectiveness in reducing bacterial viability.
- Results showed that the combination of GIC with EB and laser treatment was the most effective, suggesting that EB enhances the antimicrobial properties of GIC and could be a promising option for dental treatments.
