Laser and Photodynamic Therapies for Dermatological and Endodontic Conditions
This community investigates the clinical application of laser systems and photodynamic agents for treating skin disorders, cosmetic concerns, and root canal infections. The work focuses on evaluating the efficacy and safety of these interventions through randomized controlled trials and systematic reviews.
The research centers on specific laser types, including YAG, diode, excimer, and fractional lasers, as well as photodynamic therapy. In dermatology, these tools are applied to skin rejuvenation, scar management, and pigmentary disorders. In endodontics, the community examines the use of lasers and irrigants like sodium hypochlorite for root canal disinfection and the assessment of bond strength in restorative procedures. The literature frequently compares these modalities against standard treatments and evaluates their safety profiles in diverse patient populations.
The largest share of the community's output is found in Erbium research, accounting for 4.1% of all Erbium research, and 425 papers here. Yttrium research also features prominently, with 719 papers representing 2.6% of that element's literature. The community publishes primarily in Lasers in Medical Science, Journal of Endodontics, and Dermatologic Surgery.
Recent work includes studies on laser-assisted exosome delivery, the use of excimer lasers for pediatric vitiligo, and the evaluation of collagen biostimulators combined with laser treatments.
