Action of Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy With Red Leds in Microorganisms Related to Halitose: Clinical Controlled and Randomized Trial
Action of Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy With Red Leds in Microorganisms Related to Halitose: Clinical Controlled and Randomized Trial
Halitosis is the term used to describe any unpleasant odor relative to expired air regardless of its source. The prevalence of halitosis in the population is approximately 30%, of which 80-90% of the cases originate in the oral cavity resulting from proteolytic degradation by gram negative anaerobic bacteria. Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) has been widely used and with very satisfactory results in the health sciences, it involves the use of a non-toxic dye, called photosensitizer (FS), and a light source of a specific wavelength in the presence of the oxygen in the medium. This interaction, is capable of creating toxic species that generate cell death. The advantages of this approach are to avoid resistance to target bacteria and damage to adjacent tissues as the antimicrobial effect is confined only to areas covered by the dye and irradiated by light acting on the target organism rapidly, depending on the dose of light energy and power output. The objective of this controlled clinical study is to verify the effect of aPDT in the treatment of halitosis by evaluating the formation of volatile sulfur compounds with gas chromatography and microbiological analysis before and after treatment. Will be included in this research young adults in the age group between 18 to 25 years with diagnosis of halitosis. The selected subjects will be divided into 3 groups, G1 aPDT, G2 Scraper and G3 aPDT and scraper. All subjects will be submitted to microbiological analysis and evaluation with Oral ChromaTM before, after treatment and followed up of 7, 14 and 30 days For the evaluation of the association of the categorical variables will be used Chi-square test and Fisher's Exact Test, to compare the means will be used tStudent test and Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and to analyze the correlation between the continuous variables will be applied the correlation test by Pearson. In the analyzes of the experimental differences in each group the Wilcoxon test will be used. For all analyzes a level of significance of 95% (p <0.05) will be considered.
The study will follow the regulatory norms of research in humans with favorable opinion of the Research Ethics Committee of the University Nove de Julho number, and the responsible ones of the participants will sign the consent form free after clarifications for authorization of the participation in the research, according to Resolution 466/12 of the National Health Council.

• Research Subjects For this study will be evaluated young adults of both sexes, enrolled regularly in the Dentistry Clinic of the University Nove de Julho - São Paulo.
Inclusion criteria Included in this study are young adults between the ages of 18 and 25, with an informed consent form and authorization for the diagnosis and treatment of halitosis.
Young adults diagnosed with halitosis presenting Oralchroma S2H ≥ 112 ppb and / or CH3SH ≥ 26.
The selected subjects will be divided into 3 groups. There will be 1 session for each group. All samples from the subjects will be submitted to microbiological analysis and evaluation with Oral ChromaTM before and after treatment followed by controls of 7, 14 and 30 days.
Microbiological analysis
Samples of the lingual plaque will be collected using a sterile swab that will be passed on the surface of the tongue back with unique movement and light pressure. Samples will be deposited in sterile tubes that will be identified and stored at -80 ° C until analyzed. After thawing, the samples will be vortexed for one minute. For extraction of the bacterial DNA samples will be boiled for 10 minutes and then centrifuged at 10,000 rpm for 10 minutes. The supernatant will be placed in a new microtube containing 100μL phenol / chloroform / isoamyl alcohol (25: 24: 1), followed by ethanol precipitation. The purified DNA will be resuspended in TE buffer. The levels of P. gingivalis, T. forsythia and T. denticola will be analyzed by quantitative PCR. The quantitative analysis will be performed using real-time PCR using the Step One Plus Real-Time PCR System (Applied Biosystem, Foster City, CA, USA) and fluorescently detected products using the Quantimix Easy SYG Kit (Biotools, Madrid, Spain), following the protocol recommended by the manufacturer. To the reaction 10 l will be used SYBR Green 0.5 ul DNA template, 200 mM of each primer (P. gingivalis CATAGATATCACGAGGAACTCCGA TT and AAACTGTTAGCAACTACCGATGTGG; T.forsythia GGGTGAGTAACGCGTATGTAACCT and ACCCATCCGCAACCAATAAA, T. denticola CGTTCCTGGGCCTTGTACA and TAGCGACTTCAGGTACCCTCG; Universal bacteria CCATGAAGTCGGAATCGCTAG and GCTTGACGGGCGGTGT) in total volume of 20 μl. For the standard curve, reactions containing template DNA 2 to 2X105 copies of the analyzed gene (16S rRNA) will be performed using pTOPO plasmids in which the 16S genes of the 14 different organisms will be cloned. As a negative control will be added sterile milliQ water instead of DNA template. Reactions to 16S rRNA will be performed with initial denaturation at 95 ° C for 2 minutes followed by 36 cycles of 94 ° C for 30 seconds, 55 ° C for 1 minute and 72 ° C for 2 minutes and final extension at 72 ° C for 10 minutes 46. Fluorescence will be detected after each cycle and plotted using Step One Plus Real-Time PCR System software (Applied Biosystem, Foster City, CA, USA). To ensure the specificity of the products detected by fluorescence and to avoid detection of primer dimers, the detection will be performed to a degree below the dissociation temperature of the amplicons. All samples will be analyzed in duplicate and each dilution of the plasmids to the standard curve in triplicate. The purpose of the microbiological evaluation will be to verify the effectiveness of the photodynamic therapy for the treatment of halitosis, complementing the clinical evaluation.
Assessment of halitosis level The air collection will follow the OralChromaTM Manual Instruction, where the participant is instructed to make a mouthwash with cysteine (10 mM) for 1 minute to differentiate the CSV origin and remain mouth closed for 1 minute. A manufacturer's own syringe for collection of mouth air will be introduced into the patient's mouth with the plunger fully inserted. The patient closes his mouth, breathes through his nose and waits with his mouth closed for 1 minute. You will be asked not to touch the tip of the syringe with your tongue. The plunger will be pulled out, re-empties air from the syringe into the patient's mouth and again pulls the plunger to fill the syringe with the breath sample. Clean the tip of the syringe to remove moisture from the saliva, place the gas injection needle in the syringe, adjust the plunger to 0.5 ml. It is injected into the door of the appliance in a single movement.
OralChromaTM allows the capture of gas concentration values by measuring the CSV thresholds (from 0 to 1000 ppb), very accurately after 8 minutes.
The results are stored on the device itself and can be retrieved and viewed at any time for comparison before and after treatment.
From the analysis of CSV captured by the system:
To avoid changes in halimetry, the examination will be conducted in the morning and participants will be instructed to follow the following guidelines: 48 hours before the evaluation avoid ingesting food with garlic, onion and strong seasoning, alcohol consumption and use of oral antiseptic. On the day of the evaluation, in the morning, you can eat up to 2 hours before the exam, abstain from coffee, candies, chewing gum, oral hygiene products and perfumed personnel (aftershave, deodorant, perfume, creams and / or tonic) and the brushing will be only with water.
For the photodynamic therapy will be used an equipment developed for this project with emission of red LED (660nm) and tip of 2.84 cm² in diameter.
At the moment of application of the aPDT will be present only the volunteer to be treated and the professional responsible, both using specific eye protection glasses. The active tip of the laser will be coated with clear disposable plastic (PVC) (avoiding cross contamination and hygiene) and the professional will be properly dressed.
One session of the Chimiolux® photosensitizing aPDT will be performed, at a concentration of 0.005% (165μm), to be applied enough to cover the middle third and back of the tongue for 5 minutes for incubation, the excess will be removed with sucker in order to maintain the wet surface with the photosensitizer itself, without the use of water. Four points will be irradiated with a distance of 1cm between the points, considering the scattering halo and the effectiveness of aPDT (figure 5). Based on previous studies carried out with the aPDT for the treatment of halitosis the apparatus will be previously calibrated with wavelength 660 nm, with energy of 72 J, power of 800 mW for groups 1 and 3 that will be irradiated for 90 seconds per point, creep of 282mW / cm².
