Objectives: To compare photodynamic therapy (PDT) as an adjunctive treatment of chronic
periodontitis with scaling and root planing (Sc/Rp) in smokers. Methods: This is a split-mouth, …

Apical periodontitis (AP) is an inflammatory disease occurring following tooth infection with
distinct osteolytic activity. Despite increasing evidence that sensory neurons participate in …

Introduction Nociceptive neurons play a critical role in the detection of stimuli evoking actual
or potential tissue injury. In addition, they are involved in neurogenic inflammation by the …

Objective: This study was conducted to examine the relationship between the glycated
hemoglobin level (HbA1c) and halitosis status among diabetic patients affected with periodontitis …

Introduction Regenerative endodontic procedures (REPs) are viable alternatives for treating
immature teeth, yet these procedures do not predictably lead to pulp-dentin regeneration. A …

Therapeutics in dentistry commonly aim at the prosthetic restoration of diseased teeth. However,
treatments such as vital pulp therapies (VPTs) and regenerative endodontic procedures …

Introduction Regeneration of the pulp-dentin complex is the penultimate goal of regenerative
endodontic procedures (REPs). Histological outcomes have demonstrated reparative …

Regenerative endodontic procedures (REPs) of immature teeth with necrotic pulp and apical
pathosis focus on passive chemomechanical debridement and usually require multiple …

… This is a striking finding and one that points to the broader role of peripheral sensory neurons
in the regulation of osteogenesis as suggested by Austah et al 48 . Overall, data recording …

Osteoimmune diseases, such as apical periodontitis, are prevalent, often painful, inflammatory
conditions resulting in bone loss and reduced quality of life. There is growing evidence …
