Magnetic‐based photosensitizer to improve the efficiency of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy against mature dental caries‐related biofilms
Abstract Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) shows promise in eliminating oral pathogens without inducing microbial resistance. Yet, it faces limited biofilm penetration by the photosensitizer, which hinders its efficacy against mature, thick biofilms. This study assesses the effectiveness of...
