More than 75% of adults1 suffer from periodontitis (PD)
and other bacterial infections of the gums or the oral cavity.
In addition to the eventual loss of teeth, doctors and dentists believe that inflamed gums for an extended period of
time may be associated with systemic diseases. Attempts
to mechanically clean the bleeding gums may lead to the
transfer of bacteria in the mouth into the bloodstream (bacteremia) potentially causing the bacteria to spread throughout the body, resulting in cerebrovascual diseases
Due to stress on the immune system, the risk of diseases
of the arteria carotis, heart attacks, arthritis, diabetes and
premature births are rising. Therefore, PD bacteria is more
harmful than smoking, obesity or high cholesterol levels2. 

Healthy teeth –
healthy patients
If the bacterial count in the gingival pockets is extremely high, then the PDtherapy is problematic because the mechanical cleaning and the curettage
are no longer sufficient to stop the inflammation.
A.R.C. Laser developed EmunDo®, a new innovative dye for photo dynamic
therapy (PDT). Now it is possible to reduce or totally avoid the use of antibiotics – and eliminate all of the associated health risks – for patients with
periodontitis. Independent of antibiotic resistance, EmunDo® selectively destroys the relevant PD-germs, especially the AA-Complex³
The pathogens that arise during PD are the same in peri-implantitis. Due to
the rise in the number of implants, there has been a dramatic increase in the
number of reported cases; therefore, dentists and researchers are looking
for an effective therapy. Since the implant is difficult to clean without compromising the surface, it is necessary to do so before the dental abutment is
covered and the connective tissue of the mucosa surrounding the implant is
decreasing. EmunDo® provides an alternative to fight the bacterial inflammation and to save the implants.
The mechanism of action:
Upon irradiation with the FOX Laser, the EmunDo® dye generates singlet
oxygen. The Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria can not survive is
this oxygen rich environment.

recognized that certain dyes in combination with light can be destructive to specific cells in the presence
of oxygen. He called this discovery
“photodynamic reaction”. In recent
years, especially since the late 70s,
clinical studies have been conducted
to determine how this reaction can be
utilized for treatment of various diseases. Ultimately, these findings have
become part of the history of modern
medicine under the name of „photo
dynamic therapy“.

Photo dynamic therapy (PDT) was
originally

diseases. It has proven itself as a particularly useful therapy for treating the
primary stages of skin cancer. Over
the past 10 years, a number of new
applications have been discovered.
The basic concept of PDT is to enrich the specific light sensitive photosensitizers in or on the areas to be
EmunDo® + FOX Laser
treated.
Infected or harmful cells can be selectively isolated and destroyed by irradiation of the photosensitizer using
of an appropriate wavelength of light.
Applying this same medical approach,
not only can tumor cells be destroyed
but also unwanted bacteria.

When was photo dynamic therapy
invented?
Since the beginning of the 20th
century, the scientific advantages of
light irradiation in conjunction with a
photosensitizer like EmunDo® were
known in the treatment of skin related
diseases. Nearly 100 years ago Hermann von Tappeiner, head of pharmacology at the University of Munich,

The EmunDo® dye is activated using a
laser light wavelength of 810 nm. The
laser light is so low in energy that the
healthy tissue surrounding the treatment area is not affected. In fact, similar laser light energy is used for biostimulation treatments (low-level laser
therapy, LLLT) for a wound healing effect. Therefore, this treatment has the
added advantage of achieving excellent cosmetic results with minimal risk
of scarring.
Is EmunDo® toxic?
The tricarbocyanine dye in EmunDo®
contains inIndocyanine green (ICG,
MW775), which has been extensively tested for biocompatibility (e.g. in
ophthalmology as a contrast agent).
In addition, since 1956, it has been
widely used to measure blood flow
through various organs to determine
the cardiac output, the cardiac ejection fraction and liver function diagnostics1.
EmunDo® is an iodine free dye; therefore, it is compatible with allergy sufferers.
Unlike inflamed tissue where the surface roughness promotes the attachment of ICG molecules, the molecular size of the ICG is so large that it
will not accumulate in healthy tissue;
hence making this treatment tissue
selective!

titis treatment primarily depended
upon antibiotic therapy and patient
compliance. For years, researchers
have been looking for a long term,
more predictable alternative.
PDT is a scientifically proven, nonsurgical therapy which effectively
treats periodontal disease and simultaneously prevents the serious sequelae that can occur2. In addition, it
is a welcome alternative treatment for
peri-implantitis to save the implant (to
maintain the protective function of the
mucosa).
FOX Diode Laser
A large number of applications are
possible in your dental practice with
the usage of FOX diode laser. For
example, the diode laser is a useful
tool for soft tissue surgery (eg, exposure of implants, frenectomy) and
endodontitis.

EmunDo® therapy is safe and effective for removing all harmful bacteria. By comparison, mechanical
cleaning is unable to reach and remove bacteria from
all areas. Other laser based therapies are not clinically effective on all types of germs. If any method
does not remove all of the bacteria, harmful bacteria
will quickly repopulate the area. EmunDo® therapy
helps to prevent the spread of bacteria to potentially
infect the body.
