Abstract
A material for modifying the optical properties of cells comprises a basic material and a modification substance distributed in the basic material at a prescribed concentration, wherein the basic material comprises a viscous fluid, a gel, a two-dimensional or three-dimensional porous substrate or a material which hardens in situ.
Claims22
A periodontological material for modifying the optical properties of cells, the material comprising:
- a basic material;
- and
- a modification substance distributed in the basic material at a prescribed concentration, wherein the basic material comprises a viscous fluid, a gel, a two-dimensional or three-dimensional porous substrate or a material which hardens in situ;
- wherein the modification substance increases the amount of protoporphyrin formed in a heme cycle;
- and
- wherein the modification substance comprises either a substrate for enzymes which are active after 5-aminolevulinate synthase up to protoporphyrin synthesis, or an antagonist of the protoporphyrin-degrading ferrochelatase or an iron-inactivating substance.
