Photodynamic inactivation (PDI) is described as a promising therapy for oral inactivation. Due to the low aqueous solubility of curcumin, appropriate delivery systems are required to facilitate its use as a photosensitizer. This study evaluated the effectiveness of on Streptococcus mutans biofilm using curcumin-loaded Pluronic® 127. The micelles were characterized by different techniques. MIC and MBC were determined, and after that the cell viability of the biofilm irradiated by blue LED was obtained by CFU/mL and by confocal microscopy. Curcumin-loaded Pluronic® F-127 micelles can be a viable alternative for curcumin to improve the water solubility and the antimicrobial photodynamic effect.
