Biofilm formation on teeth and mucous membranes is considered the main factor associated with the development of oral infections. Topical antimicrobials such as chlorhexidine (CHO) are used for decontamination of caries, periodontal pockets, and oral decontamination prior to surgical procedures, but they might promote adverse effects in hard and soft tissues of the oral cavity. Additional…
The spread plating method (SPM) has been widely used to quantify the number of colony-forming units per milliliter (cfu/ml) of Candida species. However, problems of cost and time are factors that often limit the evaluation of large numbers of samples. To overcome such limitations, the track dilution method (TDM) was proposed for the measure of cfu/mL of bacterial species. Despite its wide…
The potential of Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) for Candida inactivation has been widely explored in the past few years. Promising results have been found with the use of curcumin as a photosensitizing agent to photoinactivate different Candida species. However, complete inactivation of yeast cells is not always achieved after just one PDT application, especially if biofilms were involved. If…
Endodontic treatment consists of debridement and cleaning of the root canal system to remove remaining tissue and eliminate microbial biofilm. Even with antimicrobial instruments and irrigants, the complete elimination of microorganisms is still a challenge for endodontics. In this context, the search for natural compounds with low toxicity, antimicrobial efficacy and the use of supportin…
Recently, international reports demonstrate an increase in the incidence of infections, mortality rates, and antifungal resistance of Candida albicans. Alternative treatments to combat this microorganism have been widely studied, such as photodynamic inactivation and the use of natural extracts with antimicrobial properties. EPs® 7630 is a commercial extract obtained from the roots of Pel…
The rising resistance to conventional drugs from Candida species have directed the search for alternative methods of fungal elimination. In this context, antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) peptides antimicrobial are inserted. The objective of this project is to evaluate the efficacy of the peptide LL-37 against C. Albicans strains susceptible and resistant to fluconazole and its ef…
Dental demineralization is a result of the tooth dissolution by acids from bacterial metabolism. Streptococcus mutans remains the main bacterial species associated with the development and progression of dental caries. An alternative to combat the accumulation of microorganisms is Photodynamic Inactivation (PDI). Studies have shown that the extract of Pelargonium sidoides can have antibac…
