“…When this technique is used to eradicate bacterial cells, it is termed antimicrobial photodynamic therapy [98]. Various light sources have been used in in vitro and in vivo studies, such as yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) lasers [162, 163], potassium yttrium tungstate (KYW) lasers [164], and femtosecond [165] and near-infrared lasers [166], showing the potential of photodynamic therapy to treat and control biofilm-based infections. Multiple bacterial biofilms have been shown to be eradicated using diode lasers (405–940 nm) and different photosensitizers on acrylic resin, glass, titanium, and zirconia, which in some cases was shown to be synergistic with antibiotic treatment [163, 167, 168, 169, 170, 171, 172, 173, 174].…”
