TABLE 2.

Calculated βPDT for Each Irradiance

βPDT (μM second−1 mW−1 cm2)*
Irradiance (mW cm−2) Lesion Margin
150 0.85 0.4
60 0.65 0.85
50 0.85 0.85
40 0.6 1
20 1.2 1.45
10 1.05 0.9
*

The value of βPDT used for generating the bleaching curves for each irradiance case for both lesion and normal tissue margin, respectively. The average value with SD of βPDT from all the cases is 0.89 ± 0.28.
