Introduction The aim of this study was to systematically review the evidence on the cleaning
and disinfection of root canals and the healing of apical periodontitis when ultrasonic irrigant …

Background The success of endodontic treatment derives from the complete elimination of
microorganisms capable of causing an intraradicular or extraradicular infection. To achieve …

Objectives Reduction of microbial load from the root canal systems is a pre-requisite for
healing of lesions of endodontic origin. Such microbial reduction is influenced by the method …

In order to achieve a long-lasting effect, one of the main goals in root canal treatment is to
eliminate the endodontic bacteria. Conventional chemomechanical debridement is …

Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is associated with high patient morbidity and a large
financial cost. This study investigated Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) as a means of …

Background This study aimed to investigate the penetration depth of two different dyes after
root canal preparation using PIPS and SWEEPS methods. Materials and methods A total of …

Objective: To evaluate the antibacterial efficacy of photodynamic therapy (PDT) and chitosan
against Enterococcus faecalis and assess the possible enhancive effect of chitosan on the …

Aim To assess the efficacy of photosensitizers (CP, riboflavin) and gaseous ozone in
comparison to the conventional radicular dentin disinfectant (NaOCl) on push-out bond …

Background During photodynamic therapy (PDT) in the treatment of a primary endodontic
infection, it is extremely likely that microorganisms would be exposed to sub-lethal doses of …

Introduction: Elimination of pathological microflora of root canal systems is a major goal in
endodontic treatment. This study aimed to compare the antimicrobial efficacy of calcium …
