Abstract

ntimicrobial photodynamic treatment (aPDT) is a treatment method that links a light source to a photosensitizing carrier. There is no clear standardization regarding the exact therapeutic concentration when it is combined with curcumin or methylene blue, and there is no comparison of their activities toward S. mutans. We aimed to assess the best composition of the combination of aPDT and curcumin and with the combination of aPDT and methylene blue in reducing the number of S. mutans biofilms. The searches were carried out in Pubmed, ScienceDirect, and Proquest from 2015 to April 2023; collecting in-vitro and in-vivo research. Two authors independently reviewed studies, assessed their quality and eligibility, then extracted the data. 14 articles that met the inclusion criteria were retained. The final results were then grouped into 2, showing the effectiveness for a combination of aPDT and methylene blue and of aPDT and cucumin (9 and 5 articles, respectively). Each combination has different aPDT properties. The combination of aPDT and methylene blue is effective in reducing S. mutant biofilm in 660 nm diode laser wavelength and 40 mW output power. Furthermore, aPDT combined with curcumin is effective in reducing S. mutants biofilm in a wavelength of 405 nm and an irradiation time of 50-150 seconds. The addition of EDTA in a combination of aPDT and curcumin could increase its effectivity.

Abstract

Dental students will play an important role in educating and promoting oral health. The oral health behavior of dental providers and their attitudes toward their oral health could depict the oral health of their patients. The aim of this study was to review the current studies available on the oral health attitudes and behavior of dental students. A systematic search of original articles was carried out in two databases to write this systematic review. MEDLINE (pubMed) and GOOGLE SCHOLAR. Studies published in the English, Arabic and Indonesian languages up to 31/6/2023 was carried out. Search results were managed through EndNote. The search strategy identified 180 articles (133 from Google Scholar and 47 from PubMed databases), of which 22 articles were included in the analysis after the systematic review process. Study of oral health attitude and behavior based on the Hiroshima University Dental Behavioral Inventory (HU-DBI). As a result of variation in the subjects age, measure of outcomes quantitative analysis is not showed. A total of 22 studies met the inclusion criteria. The studies included a total of 7,562 undergraduate dental students and were conducted in 18 countries. The review found that clinical students have good oral health attitudes and behavior compared with preclinical students, showing improvements in oral health attitude and behavior of dental students through the students’ educational progress. The improvement in oral health care has been shown to be linked to experience, especially for clinical students that have been in clinical settings.
