Photodynamic Therapeutics in OPMD. Photodynamic Therapeutics in Potentially Premalignant Oral Epithelial Lesions

      Аннотация: Dentists now have access to a wide range of unique treatment methods as a result of substantial scientific and technological breakthroughs in the field of dentistry. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a non-invasive treatment procedure that use photosensitizers, a specific wavelength of light, and the production of singlet oxygen and reactive oxygen species (ROS) to kill undesired eukaryotic cells (such as oral tumors) and harmful microbes. In several disciplines of dentistry, it is seen as a valid therapeutic option. The aim of the present study was to systematically review the efficacy and adverse effects of PDT in the management of oral premalignant lesions.
