Antibacterial photodynamic treatment of periodontopathogenic bacteria with indocyanine green and near‐infrared laser light enhanced by Trolox^TM

Abstract

The results clearly show that Trolox(TM) significantly enhanced the antibacterial effect of ICG upon irradiation with NIR-laser-light. Additional administration of Trolox(TM) may also increase the efficiency of other aPDT systems.
