forms of superficial and systemic candidiasis are often associated with biofilm formation on surfaces of host tissues or medical devices. The biofilm formation of <italic>Candida</italic> spp., in general, necessitates significantly increased amounts of antifungal agents for therapy. Often the therapeutic effect is doubtful. A 5-day biofilm model with oral <italic>Candida</italic> isolates was established according to Chandra et al. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR39">39</xref>](J Dent Res 80:903–908, 2001) on glass and titanium surfaces and was modified by Sennhenn-Kirchner et al. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR40">40</xref>](Z Zahnärztl Implantol 3:45–51, 2007) to investigate different aspects unanswered in the field of dentistry. In this model, the efficacy of erbium:yttrium–aluminium–garnet (Er:YAG) light (2940 nm, 100 mJ, 10 Hz, 300 μs pulsed mode applied for 80 s) and diode laser light (810 nm, 1 W, continuous wave mode applied for 20 s with four repetitions after 30 s pauses each) was evaluated and compared to untreated controls. The photometric evaluation of the samples was completed by observations on morphological changes of yeast cells grown in the biofilm. Compared to the untreated controls <italic>Candida</italic> cells grown in mature in vitro biofilms were significantly reduced by both wavelengths investigated. Comparison between the different methods of laser treatment additionally revealed a significantly greater effect of the Er:YAG over the diode laser. Scanning electron microscopy findings proved that the diode laser light was effective in direct contact mode. In contrast, in the areas without direct contact, the fungal cells were left almost unchanged. The Er:YAG laser damaged the fungal cells to a great extent wherever it was applied.</p></div></front><back><div1 type="bibliography"><listBibl><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Kojic, Em"

In this model, the efficacy of erbium:yttrium–aluminium–garnet (Er:YAG) light (2940 nm, 100 mJ, 10 Hz, 300 μs pulsed mode applied for 80 s) and diode laser light (810 nm, 1 W, continuous wave mode applied for 20 s with four repetitions after 30 s pauses each) was evaluated and compared to untreated controls. The photometric evaluation of the samples was completed by observations on morphological changes of yeast cells grown in the biofilm. Compared to the untreated controls <italic>Candida</italic> cells grown in mature in vitro biofilms were significantly reduced by both wavelengths investigated. Comparison between the different methods of laser treatment additionally revealed a significantly greater effect of the Er:YAG over the diode laser. Scanning electron microscopy findings proved that the diode laser light was effective in direct contact mode. In contrast, in the areas without direct contact, the fungal cells were left almost unchanged. The Er:YAG laser damaged the fungal cells to a great extent wherever it was applied.</p></abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><title>Keywords</title><kwd>Oral biofilm</kwd><kwd>In vitro model</kwd><kwd>Laser light</kwd><kwd>Surface decontamination</kwd><kwd><italic>Candida albicans</italic> biofilm</kwd></kwd-group><custom-meta-group><custom-meta><meta-name>issue-copyright-statement</meta-name><meta-value>© Springer-Verlag London Ltd 2009</meta-value></custom-meta></custom-meta-group></article-meta></front><body><sec id="Sec1" sec-type="introduction"><title>Introduction</title><p>Manifestations of candidiasis are associated with biofilm formation occurring on surfaces of host tissues and medical devices [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR1">1</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR2">2</xref>]. <italic>Candida albicans</italic> is the most frequently isolated causative pathogen of candidiasis [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR3">3</xref>], and the network of the biofilm displays significantly increased levels of resistance to conventional antifungal agents [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR4">4</xref>].

Therefore, <italic>C. albicans</italic> might find an optimal environment for its conversion into an opportunistic pathogen. In combination with the decreased susceptibilities of microorganisms towards conventional methods of treatment in the situation of biofilm formation, the evaluation of the efficacy of new methods, such as laser irradiation, is of scientific interest.</p><p>The efficacy of laser light of various wavelengths to decontaminate surfaces has been demonstrated repeatedly in vitro [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR14">14</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR17">17</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR32">32</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR33">33</xref>]. Its clinical use in the treatment of peri-implantitis has been described [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR19">19</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR21">21</xref>], but there are only a few studies on the direct effects of laser light on oral biofilms [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR34">34</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR37">37</xref>], and the reported efficacy of the laser treatment shows great variability. Additionally, different wavelengths have been used. Rovaldi and colleges [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR38">38</xref>], for example, found a 6-log bacterial decrease by photosensitising and following 662 nm laser irradiation in vitro. However, the same treatment mode applied to plaque bacterial biofilm samples from periodontally affected persons by other authors only led to a 75–92% reduction, which means a ≤ 2-log decrease [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR17">17</xref>]. Schwarz and colleagues found a high efficacy of Er:YAG laser irradiation on intra-orally grown early biofilms [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR18">18</xref>]. This group has shown that the efficacy of the Er:YAG wavelength increased above the effects of conventional treatment. The results of our study support the findings of Schwarz and co-workers and, furthermore, show the efficacy of the Er:YAG laser on mature <italic>Candida</italic> biofilms.</p><p>There are, likewise, only a few studies evaluating the effect of laser light on fungal biofilms [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR22">22</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR24">24</xref>]. Ward et al. determined laser light of 1,064 nm wavelength, applied at 10 J, 8 ms, 10 Hz, to be effective on different bacteria and yeasts on agar plates, without changing the surface of the agar in these power settings [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR24">24</xref>]. Donnelly and co-workers used specific staining methods to increase the efficacy of laser irradiation on <italic>C. albicans</italic> biofilms on the oral mucosa to evaluate the effect of photodynamic antimicrobial therapy (PDT) on both planktonic- and biofilm-grown <italic>Candida albicans</italic> cells [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR22">22</xref>]. They found it necessary to increase photosensitiser concentration and incubation time, as well as laser light doses, over clinically capable measures to achieve high decontamination rates for <italic>Candida</italic> grown in biofilms compared to the planktonic form. The study group around De Souza [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR23">23</xref>] aimed at the effects of low-level diode laser radiation (685 nm) associated with photosensitisers on the viability of different species of <italic>Candida</italic> genus. Laser radiation in the presence of methylene blue reduced the number of colony forming units per millilitre by 88.6% for <italic>C. albicans</italic>. Though the PDT mode of antibacterial operation differs from that of high-power laser light, the results of our study considerably exceeded those low-level therapy results.</p></sec><sec id="Sec13" sec-type="conclusion"><title>Conclusion</title><p><italic>Candida albicans</italic> biofilms play a major role on mucosal surfaces and different medical devices where the immunological defence is diminished. The accumulation of the microorganisms in biofilms decreases their susceptibilities towards conventional treatment modalities. Our study was able to show the efficacy of diode light, and particularly Er:YAG laser light, on <italic>Candida albicans</italic> biofilms grown on glass and titanium surfaces after a clinically tenable application time. Especially, the treatment outcome on titanium surfaces makes the results valuable for laser application in the treatment of peri-implant infections. When diode laser light is applied on dental implants, adequate cooling-off times will be essential, to avoid overheating of the adjacent bone.</p></sec></body><back><ack><title>Acknowledgements</title><p>The authors would like to express their appreciation to Cyrilla Maelicke (Department of Cell Biology, University of Goettingen), for critical review of the manuscript and linguistic assistance, and Magdalene Kolder and Sigrid Ahlborn for technical support.
