Prospects of Application of Photodynamic Therapy in Dentistry
This article analyzes data on the use of photodynamic therapy in dentistry. The need for physiotherapeutic treatment is relevant for various categories of patients undergoing drug therapy in conjunction with photodynamic therapy, as well as for categories of patients where photodynamic therapy will be an independent treatment method. The purpose of the study is to review literature sources, present and discuss the effectiveness of photodynamic therapy in a specific area – the oral cavity, and determine the prospects for using the technique. Materials and methods. For the review, publications by domestic and foreign authors over the past 10 years were used, from the databases of e-library, PubMed, Scopus, Cyberleninka. Results and conclusion. The importance of using photodynamic therapy in the treatment of diseases of the oral mucosa, after surgical interventions, and after orthodontic treatment is increasing. Recent decades of intensive research have confirmed the effectiveness of photodynamic therapy.
