Evaluation of photodynamic therapy efficacy vs. conventional antifungal therapy in patients with poor-fitting dentures suffering from denture stomatitis. A prospective clinical study.

Background: The long-term use of antifungal therapy in denture stomatitis (DS) treatment could be accompanied by antifungal-resistant strain onset, leading to compromised therapeutic procedure and disease reappearance. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has shown the ability to eradicate oral infections and resistance strains. This prospective clinical study aimed to assess the PDT's effectiveness compared to the conventional treatment on clinical and microbiological parameters in patients with DS without denture wear during the treatment and follow-ups.

Reconstructive Peri-Implantitis Therapy by Using Bovine Bone Substitute with or without Hyaluronic Acid: A Randomized Clinical Controlled Pilot Study.

Background: The present pilot study aimed to assess clinical and radiographic efficiencies of bovine bone substitute (BBS) merged with hyaluronic acid (HA) in peri-implantits reconstructive surgery.

Methods: Peri-implantitis (diagnosed 6.03 ± 1.

Antibacterial efficiency of adjuvant photodynamic therapy and high-power diode laser in the treatment of young permanent teeth with chronic periapical periodontitis. A prospective clinical study.

Background: The study aimed at determining antibacterial efficiency of adjuvant photodynamic therapy (PDT) and high-power diode laser (DL) in the treatment of chronic periapical periodontitis (CPP) in young permanent teeth.

Methods: Forty-four young permanent teeth with CPP were randomly divided into three groups (PDT, DL and control). Each tooth underwent standard chemo-mechanical treatment, while within tested groups was additionally treated by PDT or DL.

Influence of titanium implant macrodesign on peri-implantitis occurrence: a cross-sectional study.

Objectives: To assess whether implant macrodesign parameters interacting with implant time in function (Tf) could influence the peri-implantitis occurrence.

Materials And Methods: One hundred and two patients (55.17 ± 11.

The use of collagen porcine dermal matrix and connective tissue graft with modified coronally advanced tunnel technique in the treatment of multiple adjacent type I gingival recessions: A randomized, controlled clinical trial.

Objective: To assess the clinical efficacy and esthetic outcome of porcine-derived dermal collagen matrix in comparison with connective tissue graft in the treatment of multiple adjacent gingival recessions (MAGR), 6 and 12 months after the surgery.

Materials And Methods: Twenty patients with bilateral type I MAGR were treated randomly with porcine-derived dermal collagen matrix (test site) or connective tissue graft (control site) in combination with a modified coronally advanced tunnel technique. The primary objectives were to evaluate the mean and complete root coverage.

Efficiency of photodynamic therapy in the treatment of peri-implantitis – A three-month randomized controlled clinical trial.

Introduction: Peri-implantitis is an inflammatory lesion of peri-implant tissues. Eradication of the causative bacteria and decontamination of the implant surface is essential in achieving predictable and stabile clinical results. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is non-invasive adjuvant therapeutic method to surgery in the treatment of bacterial infection.
