The purpose of this study was to evaluate the in vitro effect of the chlorophyllin-phycocyanin mixture (Photoactive+) as a photosensitizer (PS) during antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) on the count ofEnterococcus faecalis(E. faecalis) using different light sources. The antimicrobial effect of aPDT with chlorophyllin-phycocyanin mixture using different light sources including diode laser (lambda = 660 nm), diode laser (lambda = 635 nm), LED (lambda = 450 +/- 30 nm) alone or in combination was assessed using microbial cell viability assay againstE. faecalis. In addition, the cell cytotoxicity of Photoactive+ was assessed on human gingival fibroblast (HuGu) cells by MTT assay;E.faecalisgrowth when treated by both red wavelengths (635 nm, 660 nm) and combination of LED (420-480 nm) and red wavelengths (635 nm, 660 nm), significantly reduced compared to the control group (p< 0.05). There was no significant reduction in the number of viable cells exposed to Photoactive+ compared to the control group (p< 0.05). This study shows that the application of chlorophyllin-phycocyanin mixture and irradiation with emission of red light achieved a better result for bacterial count reduction, compared to a control. This component can be applied safely due to very negligible cytotoxicity.
