Aim:Light‐emitting diodes have been investigated as new light activators for photodynamic therapy. We investigated the bactericidal effects of high‐power, red light‐emitting diodes on two periodontopathic bacteriain vitro.Methods:A light‐emitting diode (intensity: 1100 mW/cm2, peak wavelength: 650 nm) was used to irradiate a bacterial solution for either 10 or 20 s. Bacterial solutions (Porphyromonas gingivalisorAggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans) at a concentration of 2.5 × 106c.f.u./mL were mixed with an equal volume of either methylene blue or toluidine blue O (0–20 μg/mL) and added to titer plate wells. The plate wells were irradiated with red light‐emitting diode light from a distance of 22 or 40 mm. The contents were diluted, and 50 μL was smeared onto blood agar plates. After 1 week of culturing, bacterial c.f.u. were counted.Results:The light‐emitting diode energy density was estimated to be approximately 4 and 8 J/cm2after 10 and 20 s of irradiation, respectively. Red light‐emitting diode irradiation for 10 s from a distance of 22 mm, combined with methylene blue at concentrations >10 μg/mL, completely killedPorphyromonas gingivalisandAggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans.Conclusion:High‐power, red light‐emitting diode irradiation with a low concentration of dye showed effective bactericidal effects against two periodontopathic bacteria.
