Popis: The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the degradation of type I collagen fibers after treatment with a papain-based gel associated with a blue dye (PapaMBlue™) for use in antimicrobial photodynamic therapy.For such, 60 bioabsorbable membrane sponge discs were used. Group 1 was the negative control group. In groups 2, 3, and 4, the papain-based gel PapaMBlue gel was applied all over the samples for 4 min and irradiated using red laser (660 ± 10 nm) with 15, 30, and 40 J/cmNeither classic Papacarie™ nor the modified product with a photosensitizing agent (PapaMBlue) promoted collagen degradation.The irradiation of methylene blue added to papain gel with red light did not alter the chemical structure of type I collagen.
