Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) in Prosthodontics: Disinfection of Human Teeth Exposed to <i>Streptococcus mutans</i> and the Effect on the Adhesion of Full Ceramic Veneers, Crowns, and Inlays: An In Vitro Study

Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) in Prosthodontics: Disinfection of Human Teeth Exposed to <i>Streptococcus mutans</i> and the Effect on the Adhesion of Full Ceramic Veneers, Crowns, and Inlays: An In Vitro Study

The use of PDT in prosthodontics as a disinfection protocol can eradicate bacteria from tooth surfaces by causing the death of the microorganisms to which the photosensitizer binds, absorbing the energy of laser light during irradiation.
