Non-antibiotic approaches for oral applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
New promising non-antibiotic agents are being widely studied due to the limited range of synthetic antimicrobial drugs available and the worldwide increased resistance in bacterial pathogens, causing treatment failures in human and animal infectious disorders. This chapter will discuss the use of some alternative approaches that can potentially be used in antimicrobial treatment of oral diseases. Among several non-antibiotic applications to the treatment and prevention of bacterial diseases, the use of photodynamic therapy (PDT) associated to a photosensitizer and the use of natural products such essential oils, propolis, Aloe vera has received considerable investigation in dental research. Both of them appear to be efficient for treatment of localized and superficial oral infections, such as caries, periodontal diseases and root canal infections.

متن کاملA Non-Random Dropout Model for Analyzing Longitudinal Skew-Normal Response
In this paper, multivariate skew-normal distribution is em- ployed for analyzing an outcome based dropout model for repeated mea- surements with non-random dropout in skew regression data sets. A probit regression is considered as the conditional probability of an ob- servation to be missing given outcomes. A simulation study of using the proposed methodology and comparing it with a semi-parame...
