SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PHOTO-DYNAMIC PROCEDURE

摘要

A problem of incomplete inhibition of harmful cells/bacteria and short duration of time, after the photodynamic treatment, during which such cells may re-grow, is solved by exposing the target bacteria with a multi-component photosensitizer material formed by adding a predetermined potentiating chemical to a conventional single-component photosensitizer at the target, prior to irradiating the target with light. The multi-component photosensitizer is effectuated by forming a mix of the two chemical compositions or by sequential exposure of the bacteria to a single-component photosensitizer and the potentiating chemical of choice.
