Antimicrobial photodynamic active biomaterials for periodontal regeneration

Both materials show excellent mechanical and cytocompatible properties. In addition, irradiation with 652 nm induced significant bacterial suppression. The manufactured biomaterials might enable a more efficient cure of periodontal bone lesions. Due to the mechanical properties functional stability might be increased. Further, the materials are antimicrobial upon illumination with light that enables a trans-mucosal eradication of residual pathogens.
