AI Article Synopsis
- Endodontic treatment for dens invaginatus, specifically in tooth #10, presents unique challenges, including pain and abnormal structural features.
- A thorough examination revealed significant issues like tenderness and pulp necrosis, leading to the diagnosis of symptomatic periapical periodontitis.
- Successful treatment involved advanced techniques, such as photodynamic therapy and active irrigation, resulting in observed healing and bone growth during follow-up assessments after 6 months and 1 year.
Article Abstract
Endodontic treatment in dens invaginatus anomaly is associated with challenges in all stages. This case report outlines the therapy provided for tooth #10 with occasional pain. In examinations, tenderness to percussion and touch and non-response to sensibility tests were observed, and pulp necrosis and symptomatic periapical periodontitis were diagnosed. Radiographic evaluation showed a structural anomaly related to the dens invaginatus and the associated periapical lesion. Cone-beam computed tomography confirmed the presence of DI type II. Endodontic treatment combined with photodynamic therapy and active irrigation using a dental operating microscope was successful and radiographic examinations showed periapical healing along with bone formation in 6-month and 1-year follow-ups.

Photodynamic therapy of cancer-associated infections.

Pathogens can be involved in tumor initiation, promotion, and progression through different mechanisms, and their treatment can prevent new cancer cases, improve outcomes, and revert poor-prognostic phenotypes. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) successfully treats different types of cancers and infections and, therefore, has a unique potential to address their combination. However, we believe this potential has been underutilized, and few researchers have investigated the impacts of PDT of both infection-related and cancer-related outcomes at once.

Background: Conventional photodynamic therapy (cPDT) is an effective treatment option for field cancerization and multiple actinic keratoses (AK). The main side effect of cPDT is pain during illumination which in severe cases might necessitate early termination of treatment. Modification of treatment parameters such as light dose and fluence rate is a promising approach to mitigate PDT-associated pain.

Although there has been significant progress in current comprehensive anticancer treatments centered on surgery, postoperative recurrence and tumor metastasis still significantly affect both prognosis and quality of life of the patient. Hence, the development of precisely targeted tumor therapies and exploration of immunotherapy represent ideal strategies for tumor treatment. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a localized and relatively safe treatment modality that not only induces multiple modes of tumor cell death but also mediates the secondary immunological responses against tumor resistance and metastasis.

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.
Proton Tunneling Allows a Proton-Coupled Electron Transfer Process in the Cancer Cell.

Department of Chemistry, University of Antwerp, Antwerp 2020, Belgium.
Proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) is a fundamental redox process and has clear advantages in selectively activating challenging C-H bonds in many biological processes. Intrigued by this activation process, we aimed to develop a facile PCET process in cancer cells by modulating proton tunneling. This approach should lead to the design of an alternative photodynamic therapy (PDT) that depletes the mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC), the key redox regulator in cancer cells under hypoxia.
