文摘

The concentration of indocyanine green (ICG) as photosensitizer (PS) has an important role in eradication of Enterococcus faecalis.. It’s recommended to apply ICG accompanied by laser irradiation without being washed out before irradiation. The concentration of PS should be considered as a crucial point in antimicrobial photodynamic therapy.
