Purpose This in vitro study evaluated the influence of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy
(aPDT), using methylene blue (MB) as photosensitizer (PS) and calcium hydroxide (CH) as …

Purpose To investigate the influence of methylene blue (MB)-mediated antimicrobial
photodynamic therapy (aPDT) and calcium hydroxide (CH) medication on the mechanical …

Background Although photodynamic therapy associated with photosensitizers can promote
microbial reduction, studies evaluating the consequences of two photodynamic therapy …

Statement of problem The use of photosensitizers in photodynamic therapy promotes
intraradicular microbial reduction during nonsurgical endodontic therapy. However, studies …

Background The effects of using curcumin as photosensitizer on the mechanical properties
of intraradicular dentin and on the bond strength of glass-fiber posts are unknown. Thus, this …

Background The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the influence of photodynamic
therapy (PDT) with methylene blue photosensitizer (PS) and calcium hydroxide intracanal …

OBJECTIVE: The present labbased investigation aimed at evaluating the canal disinfectants
using photodynamic therapy (PDT) using different photosensitizers, conventional NaOCl, a …

Background Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is used as an adjunct to endodontic treatment to
enhance microbial reduction in the root canal system. However, studies evaluating the …

Introduction This study aimed to evaluate the influence of final irrigation protocols and type
of resin cement on the bond strength of glass fiber posts (GFPs) in root dentin previously …

Background There are few studies on the influence of methylene blue as a photosensitiser
on the mechanical properties and adhesion of glass-fiber posts to intraradicular dentin …
