“…Dentre as vantagens do uso dessa modalidade terapêutica, estão seu baixo custo, sua alta efetividade e pouca invasividade (MINICUCCI et al, 2010). Outras vantagens, são o baixo nível de efeitos colaterais, além de apresentar poucas contraindicações (RATHOD et al, 2022).…”

Epidermólise bolhosa descreve um conjunto de desordens genéticas caracterizadas pela formação de bolhas e erosões a manipulação e mínimo contato. Esta patologia representa um grande desafio à prática clínica do cirurgião-dentista, devendo este saber quais alterações no atendimento ele precisa realizar para contornar as limitações impostas por esta doença e assim proporcionar o melhor atendimento aos pacientes acometidos. Este artigo propõe-se a relatar um caso clínico de manejo odontológico de uma paciente com epidermólise bolhosa, em que foram realizadas laserterapia de baixa potência, raspagem supragengival e exodontias de caninos inferiores decíduos. Dessa forma, esse caso demonstra a importância do cirurgião-dentista na equipe multidisciplinar que atende a estes pacientes.

Dental infections, which include anything from severe periodontal illnesses and abscess forms to routine tooth caries, are a major public health risk. This review article focuses on the pathophysiology and treatment of dental infections. A narrative review was conducted based on several published articles, relevant journals, and books in Google Scholar PubMed using the keywords dental caries, periodontal disease, gingivitis, and related diseases; we excluded duplicated information. Our review illustrated the types of dental infections and the proper antimicrobial drug that is suitable for this disease. Drawing from recent research findings and clinical evidence, we explore the spectrum of bacteria commonly associated with dental infections and their susceptibility profiles to various antibiotics. Emphasis is placed on understanding the mechanisms of antibiotic action and resistance in the context of dental pathogens, shedding light on optimal treatment regimens and potential challenges in clinical management. Additionally, we go over the clinical consequences of antibiotic therapy in dentistry, taking into account factors like patient selection, dose guidelines, and side effects. The management of dental infections through antimicrobial strategies has undergone significant advancements, as evidenced by this updated review. Besides the normal methods, emerging technologies such as 3D printing for drug delivery of antibiotics and disinfectants hold promise in enhancing treatment efficacy and patient outcomes. By leveraging the precision and customization afforded by 3D printing, dentistry can tailor antimicrobial interventions to individual patient needs, optimizing therapeutic outcomes while minimizing adverse effects.

“…Because LLLT has been shown to be a successful treatment method for a wide variety of disorders, it was used to biologically stimulate MSCs. LLLT has been shown to have a stimulatory effect on DPSCs, SHED [44], SCAP [45], and PDLSCs [46], promoting their proliferation, viability, and differentiation.…”

Numerous tissue engineering uses for gingival-derived mesenchymal stem cells (GMSCs) have been demonstrated. Recently, low-level laser therapy (LLLT) has been projected as a factor that can improve MSCs’ regeneration capacity. Therefore, the aim of this research was to examine the impact of LLLT at 1.5 J/cm2 and 3 J/cm2 on the viability and osteo/odontogenic potential of GMSCs. An MTT assay was performed to detect viability. Osteo/odontogenic differentiation was evaluated using Alizarin Red S staining and qRT-PCR for the evaluation of the RUNX2, OC, DMP1, and DSPP genes. A two-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post hoc test was used to determine the statistical significance between groups. The results revealed that LLLT of both energy densities had no cytotoxic effect on GMSC viability. LLLT of 1.5 J/cm2 demonstrated better viability than the higher energy density (3 J/cm2). Furthermore, the osteo/odontogenic differentiation potential was promoted following LLLT radiation, where both groups exhibited mineralized nodule formation, with the low-energy laser having a significantly higher Alizarin Red S stain level. A qRT-PCR analysis revealed higher expression levels of osteogenic and odontogenic markers in the LLLT groups compared to the control group. In conclusion, this study showed the potential application of LLLT as a non-toxic and effective strategy to enhance the regenerative capacity of GMSCs for tissue engineering and clinical treatments in the oral and craniofacial fields.
