PHOTODYNAMIC THERAPY IN PEDIATRIC DENTISTRY

Dr. Isha Gore, Prof. (Dr) Vabitha Shetty
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a minimally invasive procedure, and its antibacterial properties have led to its use in managing oral health issues. PDT has seen technological advancements, including the development of new photosensitizes and its integration with laser technology. It is particularly effective in pediatric dentistry, where comfort, safety, and anxiety reduction are crucial. PDT is effective in treating early childhood caries, gingivitis, periodontal diseases, oral biofilms, and oral soft tissue abnormalities. However, it has drawbacks like lack of research parameters, protocol variability, and the need for expensive equipment. Combining PDT with antibiotics can mitigate antibiotic resistance, but its application in pediatric dentistry is still in the preliminary stages of clinical research.
