Periodontitis, an inflammatory disease, is caused by biofilms with a mixed microbial etiology and involves the progressive destruction of the tooth-supporting tissues. A rising number of studies investigate the clinical potential of photodynamic therapy (PDT) as an adjunct during active therapy. The aim of the present review was to evaluate the available literature for the in vitro antimicrobia...

The microbial biofilm is an important factor for human infection. Finding effective antimicrobial strategies should be considered for decreasing antimicrobial resistance and controlling the infectious diseases. Treatment of infected canal systems may not be able to remove all bacteria and so bacterial persistence after treatment may occur. Application of antibacterial nanoparticles may be a pot...

Digital tabletop is an emerging technology that is being increasingly used to support group activities. Agile Planner for Digital Tabletops (APDT) is a tool that was built to support agile planning meetings. It provides interactions similar to those used in traditional pen-and-paper meetings. Previous versions of APDT were only capable of handling collocated planning meetings. In this paper, we...
