Cover Story: Recent advancement in LED technology has enabled the development of antibacterial photodynamic (aPDT) devices for continuous use in a home environment. We assigned 15 healthy adults to receive aPDT in a randomized split-mouth protocol. Repeated daily aPDT use resulted in reduced plaque development with a decrease in the gingival inflammatory and antiproteolytic action. The relative number of cariogenic bacteria reduced, while the overall bacterial flora diversity stayed intact. View this paper.
