This study aimed to investigate the effects of a new antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) system using yellow-green light-emitting diode (YGL) and rose bengal (RB) on Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg) in vitro. Pg suspension mixed with RB was irradiated with YGL (565 nm) or blue light-emitting diode (BL, 470 nm) at 428 mW/cm2 in comparison with chlorhexidine (CHG) treatment. The cells were cultured anaerobically on agar plates, and the number of colony-forming units (CFU) was determined. The treated suspension was anaerobically incubated, and the cell density (OD600nm) was monitored for 24 h. Also, the viability of treated human gingival fibroblast (HGF-1) was measured using WST-8 assay. Pg morphology was observed with a scanning electron microscope. The RNA integrity number of aPDT-treated Pg was determined and gene expressions were evaluated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. RB + YGL (aPDT) demonstrated a significantly higher reduction of CFU, compared to RB + BL (aPDT) and CHG, furthermore the OD value rapidly decreased. Morphological changes of Pg with RB + YGL were more severe than with CHG. Although RB + YGL reduced HGF-1 viability, aPDT's impact was significantly lower than CHG's. With RB + YGL treatment, RIN values decreased; furthermore, gene expressions associated with DNA replication and cell division were remarkably decreased after 12 h. The results of this study demonstrated that a novel aPDT system using RB + YGL may have potential as a new technical modality for bacterial elimination in periodontal therapy.
