          Abstract

          RESUMEN La cavidad oral alberga una gran cantidad de microorganismos que son potenciales patógenos, como el Citomegalovirus, Virus de la Hepatitis B (VHB), Virus de la Hepatitis C, Virus del Herpes simple tipos 1 y 2, Virus de la Inmunodeficiencia Humana, Mycobacterium tuberculosis y actualmente con la aparición del SARS COV-2 causante del covid-19, la comunidad odontológica debe tomar medidas más estrictas en sus protocolos de protección contra enfermedades. Para evaluar su eficacia germicida se aplicó la luz ultravioleta con distintos tiempos de exposición sobre las impresiones dentales de alginato, inmediatamente después de haber tomado la impresión, que al entrar en contacto con la cavidad oral del paciente está contaminada.Obteniendo como resultado una disminución en tamaño y cantidad de las colonias bacterianas en la mayoría de las muestras en las que se aplicó la luz UV LED a los 10 y 15 minutos de exposición.. Lo anterior, confirma su capacidad germicida gracias a su espectro ultravioleta de 245 nm que afecta la cadena de ADN y ARN de los microorganismos ya que es la longitud de onda de máxima absorción de su molécula, eliminando su capacidad reproductiva y de supervivencia. Las ventajas que ofrece como: su pequeño tamaño, fácil de manipular e instalar, que no requiere de un constante mantenimiento, bajo costo de adquisición; su luz de alta intensidad constante que no genera ningún aumento en la temperatura,lo hacen un excelente auxiliar desinfectante que puede incorporarse a las clínicas dentales.

          ABSTRACT The oral cavity houses a large number of microorganisms that are potential pathogens, such as cytomegalovirus, hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus, herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2, human immunodeficiency virus, mycobacterium tuberculosis and currently with the appearance of the SARS COV-2 that causes covid-19, the dental community must take stricter measures in its protection protocols against diseases. To evaluate its germicidal efficacy, ultraviolet light was applied with different exposure times on the alginate dental impressions, immediately after having taken the impression, which when it came into contact with the oral cavity of the patient is contaminated. As a result, a decrease in size and quantity of the bacterial colonies was observed in most of the samples in which the UV LED light was applied at 10 and 15 minutes of exposure. Some samples showed less bacterial growth even after 5 minutes of exposure. All this confirms its germicidal capacity thanks to its 245 nm ultraviolet spectrum that affects the DNA and RNA chain of microorganisms since it is the wavelength of maximum absorption of its molecule, eliminating its reproductive and survival capacity. The advantages it offers such as its small size, easy to handle and install, that it does not require constant maintenance, low acquisition cost; its constant high intensity light that does not generate any increase in temperature, makes it an excellent disinfectant auxiliary that can be incorporated into dental clinics.

          UVC LED Irradiation Effectively Inactivates Aerosolized Viruses, Bacteria, and Fungi in a Chamber-Type Air Disinfection System

          In this study, the possibility of inactivating viral, bacterial, and fungal aerosols in a chamber-type air disinfection system by using a UVC light-emitting-diode (LED) array was investigated and inactivation rate constants of each microorganism were calculated in fitting curves of surviving populations. UVC LED array treatment effectively inactivated viral infectivity, achieving 5-log reductions within 45 mJ/cm 2 for MS2, Qβ, and ϕX174 viruses. UVC LED array effectiveness in inactivating Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium, Listeria monocytogenes , and Staphylococcus aureus aerosols achieved 2.5- to 4-log reductions within 1.5 to 4.6 mJ/cm 2 . Also, 4-log reductions of Aspergillus flavus and Alternaria japonica were achieved at a dosage of 23 mJ/cm 2 using UVC LED array irradiation. The highest UV susceptibility, represented by the inactivation rate constant, was calculated for bacteria, followed by fungi and viruses. UVC LED, an innovative technology, can effectively inactivate microorganisms regardless of taxonomic classification and can sufficiently substitute for conventional mercury UV lamps. IMPORTANCE The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) convened the Minamata Convention on Mercury in 2013 to ban mercury-containing products in order to ensure human and environmental health. It will be effectuated in 2020 to discontinue use of low-pressure mercury lamps and new UV-emitting sources have to replace this conventional technology. However, the UV germicidal irradiation (UVGI) system still uses conventional UV lamps, and no research has been conducted for air disinfection using UVC LEDs. The research reported here investigated the inactivation effect of aerosolized microorganisms, including viruses, bacteria, and fungi, with an UVC LED module. The results can be utilized as a primary database to replace conventional UV lamps with UVC LEDs, a novel type of UV emitter. Implementation of UVC LED technology is truly expected to significantly reduce the extent of global mercury contamination, and this study provides important baseline data to help ensure a healthier environment and increased health for humanity.

            UV-LED disinfection of Coronavirus: Wavelength effect

            UV light-emitting diodes (UV LEDs) are an emerging technology and a UV source for pathogen inactivation, however low UV-LED wavelengths are still expensive and of low fluence. Our results suggest that the sensitivity of human Coronavirus (HCoV-OC43 used as SARS-CoV-2 surrogate) was wavelength dependent with 267 nm ~ 279 nm > 286 nm > 297 nm. Other viruses showed similar results, suggesting UV LED with peak emission at ~286 nm could serve as an effective tool in the fight against human Coronaviruses.

              Demonstration and evaluation of germicidal UV-LEDs for point-of-use water disinfection.

              Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation is a common disinfection option for water treatment in the developed world. There are a few systems installed in developing countries for point-of-use treatment, but the low-pressure mercury lamps currently used as the UV irradiation source have a number of sustainability issues including a fragile envelope, a lifetime of approximately one year, and they contain mercury. UV light emitting diodes (LEDs) may offer solutions to many of the sustainability issues presented by current UV systems. LEDs are small, efficient, have long lifetimes, and do not contain mercury. Germicidal UV LEDs emitting at 265 nm were evaluated for inactivation of E. coli in water and compared to conventional low-pressure UV lamps. Both systems provided an equivalent level of treatment. A UV-LED prototype was developed and evaluated as a proof-of-concept of this technology for a point-of-use disinfection option, and the economics of UV-LEDs were evaluated.
