Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to update the literature and discover new trends in photobiomodulation and photodynamic therapy in dentistry.
Photodynamic therapy and photobiomodulation have shown very encouraging results in vitro. However, there is still no solid evidence regarding their efficacy in some specific areas of dentistry, such as periodontology. All this arises from the extreme inhomogeneity of the clinical protocols used and described in the literature, making it almost impossible to compare the results in systematic reviews. All types of manuscripts are welcome, ranging from original articles to literature reviews that will address this topic with innovation and accuracy.
