AI Article Synopsis
- Angular Cheilitis and Herpes Simplex Virus may occur due to a weakened immune system, particularly in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.
- The article aims to discuss the effectiveness of Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy as a treatment option for oral lesions in these patients.
- This therapy could potentially help combat infections that arise when the immune system is compromised.
Article Abstract
The development of Angular Cheilitis and the reactivation of Herpes Simplex Virus, could be related to a decrease in the resistance of the immune system in the infected host, being common in cancer patients receiving antineoplastic chemotherapy. The objective of the present manuscript is to report Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy as a treatment of infected oral lesions of patients submitted to chemotherapy.

Objective: The objective was to systematically review original studies that assessed the influence of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) for managing peri-implant diseases among habitual nicotinic product (NP) users.
Methods: The research question was "Is aPDT effective for managing peri-implant diseases among NP users?" Indexed databases (PubMed/Medline, EMBASE, Scopus, and ISI Web of Knowledge) and Google Scholar were searched up to and including December 2024 without time and language barriers. Using Boolean operators, the following keywords were searched in different combinations: antimicrobial photodynamic therapy; crestal bone loss; peri-implant diseases; probing depth; nicotine; and smoking.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a hard-to-treat human pathogen for which new antimicrobial agents are urgently needed. P. aeruginosa is known for forming biofilms, a complex aggregate of bacteria embedded in a self-generated protective matrix that enhance its resistance to antibiotics and the immune system.

Objective: The aim was to compare the efficacy of local minocycline hydrochloride delivery (LMHD) and antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) as adjuncts to mechanical debridement (MD) for the treatment of peri-implant mucositis (PM).
Methods: Patients with PM were included. The following information was retrieved from patients' digital dental records: (a) age, (b) gender, (c) duration of implants in function, (d) number of implants, (e) depth of implant placement, and (f) mode of prosthesis retention.

Over the past decades, bacterial infections resulting from the misuse of antibiotics have garnered significant attention. Among the alternative antibacterial strategies, photodynamic therapy (PDT) has emerged as a promising non-antibiotic approach. However, persistent bacterial biofilms, particularly those composed of gram-negative bacteria with their protective outer membranes, have exhibited remarkable resilience to PDT.

Antimicrobial resistance is currently one of the biggest challenges in controlling infectious diseases and was listed among the top 10 threats to global health by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2023. The antibiotics misuse has led to the widespread emergence of antimicrobial resistance, marking the beginning of the alarming increase in antibiotic resistance. In this context, Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy (aPDT) has garnered significant attention from the scientific community due to its potential to effectively eliminate multidrug-resistant pathogenic bacteria and its low propensity to induce drug resistance, which bacteria can quickly develop against traditional antibiotic treatments.
