Bactericidal effects of 310 nm ultraviolet light-emitting diode irradiation on oral bacteria

Abstract: BackgroundUltraviolet (UV) light is used for phototherapy in dermatology, and UVB light (around 310 nm) is effective for treatment of psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. In addition, it is known that UVC light (around 265 nm) has a bactericidal effect, but little is known about the bactericidal effect of UVB light. In this study, we examined the bactericidal effects of UVB-light emitting diode (LED) irradiation on oral bacteria to explore the possibility of using a 310 nm UVB-LED irradiation device for treatment … Show more

“…Similar results are obtained for the microbial samples exposed to UV light. It was demonstrated that the 200–280 nm range of UV radiation, called UVC, has germicidal properties [ 67 ]. UVC light inactivates microorganisms by damaging their DNA due to the dimerization of thymine bases [ 68 ].…”

“…A large body of research has been conducted on the effect of full-spectrum (sunlight) light [141,150,151], ultraviolet light [147,[152][153][154][155][156], and blue or red wavelengths [157][158][159][160], on mono-cultured bacterial or fungal survival and activity ( Fig. 1).…”

“…Another study showed that LED light enhances the cell and immune response to some of the bacteria specimens involved in the developing of the periodontal disease [ 19 ]. It is well known that the stable and appropriate coagulation is a first and a very important step in the process of wound healing.…”
