Efficacy of phthalocyanine dye in antimicrobial debridement by photodynamic therapy as an adjunct to mechanical management of peri-implantitis: an in vitro study

Artigo

Objective: The aim of the present in vitro study was to evaluate the efficacy of phthalocyanine dye in photodynamic therapy (PDT) as an adjunct to mechanical debridement in the management of peri-implantitis. Methods: S. aureus, F. nucleatum and P. gingivalis were coated on titanium (Ti) discs and were divided in control and test groups. In control group, mechanical debridement + laser was performed; and in test group, PDT with hydroxyaluminium phthalocyanine (AIPcOH) dye as photosensitizer was used. Bacterial colony counts and surface hardness were assessed post-operatively. Results:...

Esthetic evaluation after root coverage with subepithelial connective tissue graft and a collagen matrix: a randomized clinical trial
Esthetic evaluation after root coverage with subepithelial connective tissue graft and a collagen matrix: a randomized clinical trial

Objective: To evaluate the esthetics of root coverage procedures in patients with bilateral type 1 gingival recessions who were grafted with a subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) and a xenogeneic collagen matrix (XCM). Material and methods: A randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical trial was carried out to compare Pink Esthetic Score (PES) and Root Coverage Esthetic Score (RES). Three examiners evaluated a sequence of 100 photographs of 25 patients with 50 recessions, at...

Effects of laser and indocyanine-green mediated antimicrobial photodynamic therapy on the redcomplex bacteria and crevicular procalcitonin level in periodontitis patients: A split-mouth randomized clinical trial
Effects of laser and indocyanine-green mediated antimicrobial photodynamic therapy on the redcomplex bacteria and crevicular procalcitonin level in periodontitis patients: A split-mouth randomized clinical trial

Objective: To determine the effects of laser and photodynamic therapy (PDT) on crevicular procalcitonin (PCT) and red-complex bacteria in periodontitis stage II grade A patients. Methods: 66 sites with periodontitis were selected. After scaling and root planing (SRP), the participants were randomized to receive 810-nm diode laser and PDT using indocyanine green (ICG). The change in the crevicular PCT levels and red-complex bacterial loads using BAPNA assay was the primary outcome, probing...

Influence of periodontal susceptibility on the periodontal healing of adjacent second molars after surgical extraction of impacted mandibular third molar
Influence of periodontal susceptibility on the periodontal healing of adjacent second molars after surgical extraction of impacted mandibular third molar

Objective: To compare bone level changes and probing depths at the adjacent mandibular second molar (M2) 6 months after impacted mandibular third molar (M3) extraction between patients with and without periodontitis. Material and Methods: Patients referred for extraction of M3 were recruited. Patients were categorized as periodontally susceptible (PSP) or healthy patients (PHP). Six months after surgical extraction of M3 (T1), periodontal probing depths (PPD) and radiographic bone level at...
