Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is a sincere pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript to our Special Issue “Periodontal Photonic Therapy”. This issue is designed to reflect the latest data in the particular field of photonic therapy as an option for periodontal treatment.
Photonic therapy is based on the use of a light-radiation source to improve the periodontal status of patients, in different stages of periodontal therapy. Various technologies and methods have been developed for ablative or photomodulation periodontal therapeutic approaches. While ablative lasers are mainly used in periodontal surgical therapy, low-level energy sources have applications either in modulation, through anti-inflammatory, analgesic action, reducing local oedema, and improving peripheral microcirculation; or by disinfecting periodontal pockets, with or without the use of photosensitizers. Although these aspects have been extensively investigated, there is an ongoing search for clear therapeutic protocols, involving the setting parameters and substances, with predictable results in periodontal therapy.
All systematic reviews, review articles, research articles, clinical articles, case reports, and techniques on advanced technologies and materials using the various methods of photonic therapy are of interest for this Special Issue. The editorial board is looking forward to receiving your valuable research work.
