Role of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy in reducing subgingival oral yeasts colonization in patients with peri-implant mucositis.

Objective: The aim was to assess the role of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) in reducing subgingival oral yeasts colonization (OYC) in patients with peri-implant mucositis (PIM).

Methods: Patients diagnosed with PIM were included. Patient demographics were recorded and implant placement and prosthetic rehabilitation protocols were retrieved from patients' records.

Evaluation of the Erosive Potential of Various Pediatric Liquid Medicaments: An in-vitro Study.

Background: The present in-vitro study was a scanning electron microscope (SEM) study conducted in primary teeth in order to evaluate the erosive potential of ten commonly used pediatric liquid medications (PLMs).

Materials & Methods: 10 commonly used PLMs and 33 exfoliated or extracted primary teeth were collected. The 33 teeth were divided into two groups, the control group (n=3) and the study group (n=30).
