A Novel Concept of Combined High-Level-Laser Treatment and Transcutaneous Photobiomodulation Therapy Utilisation in Orthodontic Periodontal Interface Management.

This case report is aimed to demonstrate the synergetic effects of λ940 nm laser photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy in augmenting the advantages of high-level-laser treatment (HLLT)-mediated reaction orthodontic periodontal interface management. Materials and Methods: A 32-year-old female who presented with a persistent gummy smile of upper incisors and low upper midline frenum attachment post-orthodontic treatment, was seeking a better smile appearance. She had a history of delayed wound healing without underlying medical conditions; otherwise, she was fit and healthy.

Impact of Adjunctive Diode Laser Application to Non-Surgical Periodontal Therapy on Clinical, Microbiological and Immunological Outcomes in Management of Chronic Periodontitis: A Systematic Review of Human Randomized Controlled Clinical Trials.

Background: Due to the limitations of scaling and root planing (SRP) in chronic periodontitis (CP) management, research has been focused on utilising additional therapies to enhance conventional treatment methods. The present systematic review is aimed to appraise the accessible scientific evidence of in vivo human studies to establish the effectiveness of adjunctive diode (λ 808- λ 980nm) laser treatment to SRP in CP.

Methodology: This systematic review was conducted following the PRISMA statement guidelines.

[Clinical image of oral mucous membrane in rheumatoid arthritis patients].

Unlabelled: The aim of the study was to evaluate the character and frequency of pathological changes in the oral cavity mucous membrane and xerostomy in patients with prolonged hospital and ambulatory treatment due to rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

Examination Material: The study was conducted in 120 patients with RA, average age 54, and in the control group of 40 generally healthy examinees, average age 53.

Results: In patients with RA pathological changes in the oral cavity appeared much more frequently: erosions, fissures, perleche, candidiasis oris, lichen Wilsoni, leukoplakia and persistent xerostomy.
