 In the discipline of dentistry, the twenty-first century has brought several significant improvements in science and technology, as well as a wide spectrum of unique treatment options available to dentists. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a new non-invasive treatment procedure that uses photosensitizers, a specific wavelength of light, and the production of singlet oxygen and reactive oxygen species (ROS) to kill undesired eukaryotic cells (such as oral cancers) and harmful microbes.
