Clinical Study of Antimicrobial Efficacy of Laser Ablation Therapy with Indocyanine Green in Root Canal Treatment.

Introduction: Laser ablation (LA) therapy is used as an adjunct to endodontic treatment to improve microbial reduction. However, studies evaluating the impact of LA with indocyanine green (ICG) are scarce. This study aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial efficacy of LA therapy with ICG in root canal treatment.

Patient Perspectives on Acute Exacerbations of Chronic Rhinosinusitis: A Qualitative Study.

Objective: Acute exacerbations of chronic rhinosinusitis (AECRS) are currently defined as a transient worsening of symptoms that return to baseline. This definition is narrow and can only be made retrospectively. The literature has studied this phenomenon from the physician perspective, yet a key stakeholder's-the patient's perspective is not well elucidated in the literature.

Disease control in chronic rhinosinusitis: a qualitative study of patient perspectives.

Background: The definition of disease control in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is an active area of study. However, investigations have not engaged CRS patients in how they think about disease control. This study seeks to understand the patient perspective on CRS disease control.

Patient perspectives on recall period and response options in patient-reported outcome measures for chronic rhinosinusitis symptomatology: A pilot study.

Objective: Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) for assessment of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) employ a variety of recall periods and response scales for reporting CRS symptom burden. CRS patient perspective is unknown with respect to recall periods and response scales in PROMs.

Design: Cross-sectional study.
