Several photosensitizers have been used against oral bacteria without standardization. Singlet oxygen (O-1(2)) is an aggressive chemical species that can kill cells through apoptosis or necrosis. Objective: to compare the antimicrobial activity of photodynamic therapy (PDT) with different photosensitizers at the same concentration against Streptococcus mutans. In addition, the O-1(2) production of each photosensitizer was determined. The photosensitizers (163.5 mu M) methylene blue (MB), toluidine blue ortho (TBO) and malachite green (MG) were activated with a light-emitting diode (LED;). lambda = 636 nm), while eosin (EOS), erythrosine (ERI) and rose bengal (RB) were irradiated with a curing light (lambda = 570 nm). Light sources were operated at 24J cm(-2). For each photosensitizer, 40 randomized assays (n = 10 per condition) were performed under one of the following experimental conditions: no light irradiation or photosensitizer, irradiation only, photosensitizer only or irradiation in the presence of a photosensitizer. After treatment, serial dilutions of S. mutans were seeded onto brain heart infusion agar to determine viability in colony-forming units per milliliter (CFU mL(-1)). Generation of O-1(2) was analyzed by tryptophan photooxidation, and the decay constant was estimated. Results were analyzed by one-way ANOVA and the Tukey-Kramer test (p < 0.05). PDT with irradiation in the presence of the photosensitizers TBO and MG was effective in reducing S. mutans counts by 3 and 1.4 logs, respectively (p < 0.01), compared to their respective untreated controls. MB generated 1.3 times more O-1(2) than TBO, and both produced significantly higher concentrations of singlet oxygen than the other photosensitizers. Since in vitro bulk O-1(2) production does not indicate that O-1(2) was generated in the bacterial activity site, the bactericidal action against S. mutans cannot be related to in vitro singlet O-2 generation rate. in vitro S. mutans-experiments demonstrated TBO as the only photosensitizer that effectively reduced 99.9% of these microorganisms.
