The Photobiomodulation effect of 980 nm Diode Laser on Patients with Xerostomia.

Purpose: Xerostomia is not a disease in itself. This condition is associated with systemic diseases, medication use, and radiotherapy. Oral and general health suffer when the salivary gland´s function is reduced.

The Use of Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy to Maintain a Hopeless Tooth With a PeriodonticEndodontic Lesion: A Case Report.

In spite of some advances in periodontal generative methods, it is impossible to stop progressive Loss of supporting alveolar bone in some end-stage periodontitis. The aim of this study is to report a kind of treatment modality which was seemed to be successes full in maintaining teeth. In this case-report, a hopeless tooth was saved by combined non-surgical periodontalendodontal treatment and antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT).

Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy with Diode laser and Methylene blue as an adjunct to scaling and root planning: A clinical trial.

Introduction: Chronic periodontitis, the most common periodontal disease, is the destruction of tooth supporting structures and alveolar bone which may result in teeth exfoliation. Conventionally, treatment aims at decreasing bacterial load by mechanical debridement and systemic or local delivery of antibiotics. Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) is a safe alternative adjunct therapy for elimination of pathogenic bacteria in periodontal pocket.

Management of Oral Lichen Planus by 980 nm Diode Laser.

Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a mucocutaneous disease with uncertain etiology. As the etiology is unknown standard treatment modalities are not available. The traditional and common treatment relies on corticosteroids whether topical or systemic.
