Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We have published two successful editions of the Special Issue “Antibacterial Treatment in Periodontal and Endodontic Therapy", and this encourages us to open a third edition focused on the same topic.
Diseases in the oral cavity are usually associated with the formation of a bacterial biofilm, the removal of which forms the basis of systematic therapeutic measures. Treatment in periodontology and endodontics also aims to remove such biofilms. In addition to local antimicrobial approaches, the use of an antibiotic that is effective against the individual bacterial spectrum may be necessary in some cases in order to control disease processes and prevent the spread of inflammatory processes to other areas of the body. However, the possible side effects on the organism as a whole or even the development of resistance must be taken into account. Alternative approaches such as antimicrobial photochemical, photodynamic and photothermal methods also utilise laser energy to achieve a toxic effect on microorganisms. In the treatment of periodontitis of different stages and severity as well as endodontic therapy measures, adjunctive applications to conventional approaches show promising results and could therefore represent a useful addition to existing periodontal and endodontic antimicrobial treatment approaches.
Volume 3 of this Special Issue aims to contain current studies on the use of antimicrobial therapy approaches in periodontal and endodontic therapy.
