  • Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) may be useful as a supportive antimicrobial measure for caries-active subjects. In this study, the antimicrobial efficacy of aPDT with a phenalen-1-one photosensitizer was evaluated in a novel in vitro biofilm model comprising <i>Actinomyces naeslundii</i>, <i>Actinomyces odontolyticus</i>, and <i>Streptococcus mutans</i> and was compared to chlorhexidine. The proposed biofilm model allows high-throughput screening for antimicrobial efficacy while exhibiting a differentiated response to different antimicrobial approaches. While chlorhexidine 0.2% showed a reduction of ≈4 log<sub>10</sub> for all species, aPDT led to a more pronounced reduction of <i>S. mutans</i> (2.8 log<sub>10</sub>) than of <i>Actinomyces</i> spp. (1.2 or 1.3 log<sub>10</sub>). A similar effect was also observed in monospecies biofilms. Therefore, aPDT may be more effective against <i>S. mutans</i> than against <i>Actinomyces</i> spp. when in biofilms, and this antimicrobial approach merits further investigations.
