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 a treatment modality that was initiated in 1900; however, it
was not until the last decade that PDT regained attention for its several favourable features …

Background Any successful endodontic therapy requires elimination of the endodontic
biofilms through meticulous root canal disinfection methods. Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) …

Background: Antibiotic resistance has become a growing global problem where
overprescription is a contributing factor for its development. In the endodontics field …

This study aimed to determine the effects of photodynamic therapy (PDT) on postoperative
pain after treatments of teeth with necrotic pulps. This randomized clinical trial consisted of …

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of supplemental photodynamic therapy for improving
