Abstract

Aims: The goal of this study was to investigate the phototoxicity of Photosan in combination with EDTA and a hand-held photopolymerizer used in dentistry for light-curing resins against leading key pathogens in caries, endodontic treatment failures, and periodontitis respectively. Methods and Results: Cellular uptake of Photosan was detected by fluorescence spectroscopy for Streptococcus mutans ...
