Figure 1 The effect of APDI on A. actinomycetemcomitans survival in Log10 cfu/ml. Biofilm was incubated with 100μM MB for 1min, and irradiated (λ=660nm). Data are the means of three independent experiments and the bars are the standard deviation. ***p= Photodiagnosis and Photodynamic Therapy , DOI: ( /j.pdpdt ) Copyright © 2014 Elsevier B.V.

Figure 2 Scanning electron microscopy of A. actinomycetemcomitans biofilm is presented in (A) without treatment (control group) and in (B) after 5min APDI. Biofilms were incubated with 100μM MB for 1min and then irradiated for 5min (λ=660nm). The white bars represent 20μm. White arrows indicate bacterial cells and black arrows indicate extracellular matrix. Photodiagnosis and Photodynamic Therapy , DOI: ( /j.pdpdt ) Copyright © 2014 Elsevier B.V. Terms and Conditions
