Efficacy of Photobiomodulation Therapy Utilizing 808 nm and 660 nm Alone and in Combination for Treatment of Paresthesia in Rats.

: This study assessed the efficacy of photobiomodulation therapy (PBM) by 808 nm and 660 nm alone and in combination for the treatment of paresthesia in rats. : This animal study was conducted on 36 adult male Wistar rats. After general anesthesia, the facial nerve of the right side of the face of rats was surgically exposed and pinched, returned in place, and sutured.

Effectiveness of Activated Sodium Hypochlorite Irrigation by Shock Wave-Enhanced Emission Photoacoustic Streaming, Sonic and Ultrasonic Devices in Removing Biofilm From Root Canal System.

To compare shock wave-enhanced emission photoacoustic streaming (SWEEPS) with sonic- and ultrasonically activated irrigation systems in removing biofilm from the root canal system. Fifty human single-canalled mandibular premolars were included in the study. After access cavity preparation, the root canals were prepared to a standardized size and taper.

Reduction of Multispecies Biofilms on an Acrylic Denture Base Model by Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy Mediated by Natural Photosensitizers.

Objectives: The aim of this study is to investigate the antimicrobial efficacy of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (PDT) using natural photosensitizers (curcumin, riboflavin, and phycocyanin) and light-emitting diode (LED) irradiation against multispecies biofilms in an acrylic denture base model.

Materials And Methods: Forty-five acrylic specimens were fabricated using heat-curing acrylic resin. The specimens were then infected with a mixed culture of bacterial and fungal species (including , , , and ) for 4 days.

The Effect of Two Different Wavelengths of Diode Laser on the Shear Bond Strength of Composite to Dental Enamel after Bleaching Process: An In Vitro Study.

Introduction: In recent years, tooth whitening has become one of the most popular ways of achieving the original tooth color. The effect of whitening gel can be improved through heat, light or laser. The bond strength between the enamel and the composite can be reduced through bleaching and laser radiation.

Analysis of the Marginal Continuity in Different Designs of Monolithic Zirconia Inlay-Retained Fixed Dental Prostheses: An In Vitro Study.

Purpose: To evaluate the marginal integrity of three inlay-retained fixed dental prosthesis (IRFDP) designs fabricated using monolithic zirconia.

Materials And Methods: In total, 30 IRFDPs were fabricated using 4-YTZP monolithic zirconia and randomly divided into three groups according to the cavity design. Groups ID2 and ID1.
