Article Synopsis
- The study examines how different decontamination methods, including conventional and laser treatments, affect microbial growth on titanium (Ti) and zirconia (Zr) materials used in dental implants.
- It involved testing four treatment groups (traditional methods, photodynamic therapy, Er:YAG laser, and a combination of both) and measuring their effectiveness by counting bacteria colonies.
- Results showed that the combined treatment was the most effective, reducing microbial presence to zero on both materials, while traditional methods were less effective.
: The aim of this study was to identify specific rhino- and oropharyngeal microbiological pathogens as well as associated comorbidities that favor SARS-CoV-2 infection and corelate them. : This prospective clinical study enrolled 61 patients (28 COVID-19-positive and 33 controls) who were tested for other comorbidities and co-existence of associated oral pathogenic microbiota. : A total of 247 bacterial isolates were identified in the bacterial cultures in both groups.
