Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the in vitro antibacterial effects of lysozyme‐chitosan oligosaccharide conjugates (LYZOX) against Streptococcus gordonii and Porphyromonas gingivalis. Materials and Methods: Planktonic S. gordonii and P. gingivalis were treated with various concentrations of LYZOX for 10 min. The treated bacteria were incubated on trypticase soy agar plates, and colony‐forming unit (CFU) was calculated. The antibacterial effect of LYZOX was compared with that of lysozyme, chitosan, physiological saline, and benzalkonium chloride solution. Cell morphology before and after LYZOX treatment was observed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The antibacterial effect of LYZOX with decanoic acid against the biofilm‐like bacteria was also examined via crystal violet staining. The Kruskal–Wallis test and post hoc Dunn tests were performed to compare the difference in antibacterial activity of each treatment. Results: Bacterial CFU numbers were reduced after LYZOX treatment in a concentration‐dependent manner. The reduction in CFUs was smaller for corresponding concentrations of chitosan or lysozyme alone. SEM analyses revealed bacterial cells shrank following LYZOX treatment. The combined use of LYZOX and decanoic acid yielded an even higher antibacterial effect against bacterial biofilms. Conclusion: LYZOX exhibits antibacterial activity against two periodontal bacteria and may be a promising plaque control agent. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The newly developed mineral carbonated apatite has recently been proposed as a bone graft material for bone regenerative treatment in implant therapy. This case series details the clinical and radiographic outcomes of ridge preservation and ridge augmentation using only carbonated apatite as bone graft material for implant treatment. Twenty patients (36 sites) who required bone regeneration and implant placement were retrospectively assessed. Simultaneous carbonated apatite implant placement was performed using the simultaneous ridge preservation or augmentation approach on 24 sites in 13 patients with sufficient bone quantity for primary stabilization based on preoperative evaluation results. A staged ridge preservation or augmentation approach was used for the remaining 12 sites in seven patients with insufficient bone quantity. The mean regenerated bone height for each treatment method was as follows: simultaneous preservation, 7.4 ± 3.3 mm; simultaneous augmentation, 3.6 ± 2.3 mm; staged preservation, 7.2 ± 4.5 mm; and staged augmentation, 6.1 ± 2.7 mm. The mean regenerated bone width for each treatment method was as follows: simultaneous preservation, 6.5 ± 2.9 mm; simultaneous augmentation, 3.3 ± 2.5 mm; staged preservation, 5.5 ± 1.7 mm; and staged augmentation, 3.5 ± 1.9 mm. Ultimately, the use of carbonated apatite alone as a bone graft material in implant therapy resulted in stable and favorable bone regeneration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Therapeutic light has been increasingly used in clinical dentistry for surgical ablation, disinfection, bio-stimulation, reduction in inflammation, and promotion of wound healing. Photodynamic therapy (PDT), a type of phototherapy, has been used to selectively destroy tumor cells. Antimicrobial PDT (a-PDT) is used to inactivate causative bacteria in infectious oral diseases, such as periodontitis. Several studies have reported that this minimally invasive technique has favorable therapeutic outcomes with a low probability of adverse effects. PDT is based on the photochemical reaction between light, a photosensitizer, and oxygen, which affects its efficacy. Low-power lasers have been predominantly used in phototherapy for periodontal treatments, while light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have received considerable attention as a novel light source in recent years. LEDs can emit broad wavelengths of light, from infrared to ultraviolet, and the lower directivity of LED light appears to be suitable for plaque control over large and complex surfaces. In addition, LED devices are small, lightweight, and less expensive than lasers. Although limited evidence exists on LED-based a-PDT for periodontitis, a-PDT using red or blue LED light could be effective in attenuating bacteria associated with periodontal diseases. LEDs have the potential to provide a new direction for light therapy in periodontics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
• A novel aPDT using Rose Bengal and Yellow-Green LED is presented. • The novel aPDT significantly inhibits Pg growth by injuring cell-membrane/wall. • aPDT shows significantly lower toxicity compared to conventional antimicrobial. • The novel aPDT interferes with DNA replication and cell division of Pg. • This aPDT has potential for bacterial elimination in periodontal therapy. This study aimed to investigate the effects of a new antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) system using yellow-green light-emitting diode (YGL) and rose bengal (RB) on Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg) in vitro. Pg suspension mixed with RB was irradiated with YGL (565 nm) or blue light-emitting diode (BL, 470 nm) at 428 mW/cm
2 in comparison with chlorhexidine (CHG) treatment. The cells were cultured anaerobically on agar plates, and the number of colony-forming units (CFU) was determined. The treated suspension was anaerobically incubated, and the cell density (OD 600nm) was monitored for 24 h. Also, the viability of treated human gingival fibroblast (HGF-1) was measured using WST-8 assay. Pg morphology was observed with a scanning electron microscope. The RNA integrity number of aPDT-treated Pg was determined and gene expressions were evaluated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. RB + YGL (aPDT) demonstrated a significantly higher reduction of CFU, compared to RB + BL (aPDT) and CHG, furthermore the OD value rapidly decreased. Morphological changes of Pg with RB + YGL were more severe than with CHG. Although RB + YGL reduced HGF-1 viability, aPDT's impact was significantly lower than CHG's. With RB + YGL treatment, RIN values decreased; furthermore, gene expressions associated with DNA replication and cell division were remarkably decreased after 12 h. The results of this study demonstrated that a novel aPDT system using RB + YGL may have potential as a new technical modality for bacterial elimination in periodontal therapy.
