Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy: An overview
Journal of Indian Society of Periodontology, 2011 Inflammatory periodontal disease caused by dental plaque is characterized by the clinical signs of inflammation and loss of periodontal tissue support. The mechanical removal of this biofilm and adjunctive use of antibacterial disinfectants and antibiotics have been the conventional methods of periodontal therapy.

Synergistic antimicrobial effect of photodynamic therapy and ciprofloxacin [PDF]
Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology B: Biology, 2016 The occurrence of a variety of pathogens resistant to current antibiotics remains the major problem in medical care, especially when bacterial infections are established as biofilms. In this study, we propose the use of photodynamic therapy (PDT) as a monotherapy and associated with antibiotic as an alternative treatment.
