Given the emergence of resistant bacterial strains and novel microorganisms that globally
threaten human life, moving toward new treatment modalities for microbial infections has …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an intensively studied part of medicine based on free
radicals. These reactive species, extremely harmful for whole human organism, are used for …

In recent years there have been an increasing number of in vitro and in vivo studies that
show positive results regarding antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) used in …

The aim of this study was to perform a systematic review of the literature followed by a meta-
analysis about the efficacy of photodynamic therapy (PDT) on the microorganisms …

Conventional antibiotic therapies for biofilm-trigged oral diseases are becoming less
efficient due to the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains. Antimicrobial …

For deep carious lesions, a more conservative treatment modality (“selective caries
removal”) has been proposed, where only the heavily contaminated dentine is removed. In …

Objective: This review clusters the growing field of nano-based platforms for antimicrobial
photodynamic therapy (aPDT) targeting pathogenic oral biofilms and increase interactions …

Several studies of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) have been performed to
verify the efficiency of this treatment against caries-related microorganisms. Thus, the aim of …

Background Oral microbial infections are one of the most common diseases. Their progress
not only results in the irreversible destruction of teeth and other oral tissues but also closely …

Oral biofilms are a prominent cause of a wide variety of oral infectious diseases which are
