Abstract:
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been wildly used in the treatment of tumors and dermatologic diseases,especially,when the traditional therapies are ineffective or bring side effects.Moreover,with the deepening of the studies,its effects in anti-microbial has been found.PDT in the treatment of infectious diseases has attracted more and more attention of scholars.In this review,we discussed the mechanism of the PDT,studies in the sterilization of a variety of oral pathogenic bacteria by the PDT and its potential applications in clinic.
