increasingly inefficient. This urges the exploration of alternative strategies with a lower …

Due to the increasing development of antibiotic resistances in recent years, scientists search
intensely for new methods to control bacteria. Photodynamic treatment with porphyrins such …

Pathogenic oral biofilms are now recognized as a key virulence factor in many
microorganisms that cause the heavy burden of oral infectious diseases. Recently, new …

Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) has emerged as a promising antimicrobial
treatment to control microorganisms including those involved in oral diseases, especially …

Background This study investigated the effect of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (PDT),
using methylene blue (MBO) and photobiomodulation therapy (PT), on the alveolar bone of …
