Monitoring gene expression of rcpA from Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans versus antimicrobial photodynamic therapy by relative quantitative real-time PCR

aPDT with ICG could reduce the cell survival and the virulence agent of A. actinomycetemcomitans. Thus, use of the appropriate aPDT dosage can be used for the successful treatment of periodontitis in vivo.
