Aim: The proposal of this work was to test the efficacy of photodynamic therapy (PDT) by using methylene blue (MB) and erythrosine (ERY) to inactivate Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (A. actinomycetemcomitans), the main pathogen in aggressive periodontitis.
Methods: A.
Objective: To evaluate the inactivation of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (A. actinomycetemcomitans), responsible for causing aggressive periodontitis, using photodynamic therapy (PDT) by rose bengal (RB) as a model of a reactive oxygen species (ROS) generator, in planktonic and biofilm cultures.
