TL;DR: Self-etch adhesive bond was smeared over the surface of all specimens followed by application of composite incrementally and light cured and showed potential to be adopted for dentin disinfection treatment without adversely affecting bond strength of CAD to composite resin.

TL;DR: This systematic review concluded that combination of aPDT with antimicrobial irrigants could provide a synergetic effect in removing endodontic biofilms from infected root canals, and suggested further validated approach to achieve optimal outcomes.

TL;DR: LAI with different laser prototypes improved push out bond values of PFRC post to root dentin as an adjunct to NaOCl and EDTA treatment to improve push out strength compared to conventional canal cleaning regime.

TL;DR: Photodynamic therapy has proven to be a promising therapeutic modality, able to inhibit bacterial regrowth or kill bacteria, contributing significantly to accelerate the wound healing process.

TL;DR: Methylene blue at 50 mg/L had no influence on the mechanical properties of the bovine tooth and the bond strength of the glass-fiber posts to intraradicular dentin.

TL;DR: Data indicate a new combined system of nanoparticles associated with a photosensitizer and PDT as alternative to amphotericin B for the treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis.

TL;DR: This study revealed that NM@Cur-mediated SACT with the least cytotoxicity and apoptotic effects and the highest cellular uptake, ROS production, and antimicrobial activites could effectively inhibit the growth of the S. mutans in compare with Cur.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the curcumin mediated APDT inhibits biofilm formation of P. aeruginosa through QS pathway by the action of singlet oxygen generation which in turn reduced EPS of the biofilm.

TL;DR: High sensitivity and specificity were achieved in the proposed HS imaging system, which proposes potential for HSI as an edge evaluation method to enhance the surgical outcome compared to the presently available techniques in the clinics.

TL;DR: The results of this review suggest that PDT could be an effective treatment for herpes labialis, however, there is a call for well-designed randomized clinical trials to confirm the efficacy of this therapy and to establish standardized protocols.

TL;DR: This review highlights the recent exciting progress on the nanoscale ZnO-based photosensitizers (PSs) for PDT and gives some outlook on the design and functionalization of next-generation ZNO nanoparticles for more effective anti-cancer applications.

TL;DR: This work starts with a brief description of the experimental implementation of MMP technique, with a focus on both the hardware and methodology, followed by a comprehensive online literature survey to summarize the MMP data pertaining to skin tissues and associated pathologies.

TL;DR: Curcumin and Indocyanin green (ICGP) PS have the potential to be used as cavity disinfectant as it improves SBS of caries affected dentin to resin composite.

TL;DR: TB and CP at concentration of 100 mg/l and 500 mg/l has the potential to be used as an alternate to conventional cleaning regime and is likely to improve extrusion bond values.

TL;DR: Investigating the influence of photodynamic therapy with methylene blue (MB) photosensitizer (PS) on the bond strength and morphology of the interface between mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) based endodontic sealer and different thirds of intraradicular dentin found no negative impact.

TL;DR: In this meticulous research work, principles and techniques of green chemistry were implemented which exploits environmentally and economically friendly method using effortless, accessible and non-toxic medium that is water and ascorbic acid which leads to the synthesis of silver/ copper oxide (Ag/CuO) nanocomposite.

TL;DR: In-vitro and in-vivo studies confirm the possibilities of using photodynamic therapy for the treatment of atherosclerosis and the prevention of restenosis, and results obtained so far point towards the potential of indocyanine green as a photosensitizer in photodynamic Therapy for Atherosclerosis.

TL;DR: A unique combination of phthalocyanine-loaded in drug delivery carriers for photodynamic therapy in different pathologies' treatment, including nanoemulsion, liposomes, and lipid nanoparticles in an attempt to overcome low solubility drawback.

TL;DR: The results of this study indicated that the use of large sample serum infrared spectroscopy data combined with deep learning algorithms is a promising method for the diagnosis of abnormal thyroid function.

TL;DR: This letter to Editor highlighted the well-established photodynamic therapy protocol as a tool to decrease the viral and bacterial load in the respiratory tract.

TL;DR: The water-soluble ION-PP-TZ is a promising bimodal agent for the diagnosis and treatment of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive breast cancer cells using a T2 MRI contrast agent and photothermal therapy.

TL;DR: This work showed that miR-7112-3p directly targeted PERK and further regulated PERK/ATF4/CHOP/caspase cascade pathway, resulting in enhanced apoptosis in CX-1 cells treated with DVDMS-PDT.
