Ozonized Hydrogel and Chlorhexidine Gel for Peri‐Implant Mucositis: A 24‐Month Randomized Controlled Trial

Oral Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This randomized controlled trial evaluated the 24‐month effectiveness of a nonsurgical intervention for peri‐implant mucositis, comparing a 15% ozonated sunflower oil hydrogel with a 1% chlorhexidine gel. Methods Thirty patients with 360 peri‐implant mucositis sites were treated in a split‐mouth design, receiving both therapies in ...

Efficacy of carbon dioxide laser combined with photodynamic therapy in the treatment of chronically infected wounds

Photodiagnosis and Photodynamic Therapy
Background: Chronic infected wounds present a significant clinical challenge due to bacterial biofilm formation and antibiotic resistance, which impede healing.

Alloxazine derivatives as multifunctional agents for photodynamic therapy, cancer cell imaging, and cell proliferation inhibition

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
Alloxazine photosensitizers, molecularly engineered through sugar conjugation and methoxy substitution to enhance solubility, photodynamic potency, and fluorescence, enable image‐guided photodynamic therapy while inhibiting cancer cell growth in the absence of photoactivation.

Antibacterial photodynamic inactivation with elicited Andrographis paniculata (Burm. f.) Wall. ex Nees plant extract derived carbonaceous nanoparticle

Phytomedicine Plus
Background: Conversion of phytoproducts into nanoparticles for antimicrobial intervention is common but employing elicitation to the plant to achieve dual and more potent chemical and photodynamic effects is seldom researched or achieved.

Photodynamic inactivation increases cell death rate on persistent Staphylococcus aureus

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
Persistent bacteria have the ability to survive extended periods of antibiotic stress by entering a metabolically dormant state. This study investigated persistence formation in two S. aureus strains and evaluated the effects of PDI using curcumin. Post‐PDI time‐kill assays conducted after metabolic recovery showed a higher rate of bacterial death ...

Role of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) and systemic resveratrol on immediate implant placement in type 2 diabetic rats

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
This study evaluated the combined effects of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) and systemic resveratrol on bone repair around immediately placed implants in type 2 diabetic rats. Resveratrol improved glycemic control and body weight, while aPDT increased implant stability and bone mineralization.

Etiology, pathogenesis and treatment of peri‐implantitis: A European perspective

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Peri‐implantitis is a plaque‐associated pathological condition occurring in tissues around dental implants. It is characterized by inflammation in the peri‐implant mucosa and progressive loss of supporting bone. Over the last 30 years, peri‐implantitis has become a major disease burden in dentistry.

Root surface biomodification in periodontal therapy: Biological rationale and clinical applications

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Regenerative periodontal therapy aims to form new cementum, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone, all sealed by gingival tissue. The root surface acts as the wound margin during this regeneration process. Root surface biomodification (root conditioning/root decontamination), therefore, seems instrumental in promoting surface decontamination

Advantages of horizontal centrifugation of platelet‐rich fibrin in regenerative medicine and dentistry

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract The aim of this comprehensive review was to evaluate comparative studies on horizontal and fixed‐angle centrifugation methods for preparing platelet‐rich fibrin (PRF). Furthermore, additional studies utilizing horizontal PRF (H‐PRF) were systematically investigated.

Mystery and misery of locally‐delivered drug therapy in periodontics. Historical concepts and current state

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract The primary objective is to critically analyze approaches to local therapy for periodontal disease, particularly in light of its well‐established systemic implications. We specifically address common misconceptions and overestimations regarding the potential of local treatments in contrast to their actual clinical effectiveness.
