Titanium, recognized as the gold standard, is renowned for its exceptional mechanical strength and superior osseointegration, although it is associated with a higher risk of peri-implantitis. Zirconia, valued for its excellent aesthetics and compatibility with soft tissues, presents a promising metal-free alternative; however, its brittleness can limit its mechanical reliability. PEEK, a high-performance polymer, offers stress distribution and biocompatibility benefits, but it requires substantial surface modifications to improve its osseointegration capacities. Additionally, this review delved into the prevalence of peri-implantitis, clinical survival rates, and the impact of systemic conditions such as aging, osteoporosis, and diabetes on implant success.

To address these challenges, the current study reviews new techniques to enhance the antibacterial effectiveness of aPDT. Recent advances have pointed out the potential of novel supplement agents—including inorganic salts, antimicrobial peptides, surfactant media, and postbiotics—to overcome these limitations significantly. Inorganic salts like potassium iodide, potassium selenocyanate, and potassium thiocyanate can enhance aPDT by generating additional reactive species or increasing reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated cytotoxicity. Antimicrobial peptides disrupt membranes selectively and help penetrate deeper into biofilms, while surfactant media improve the solubility of photosensitizers and prevent their aggregation, thereby maximizing ROS production. Postbiotics not only lead to improved biofilm penetration but also cause increased oxidative stress on microbial cells. Therefore, these combined strategies have markedly improved microbial eradication, particularly against resilient biofilms and antibiotic-resistant strains. Although integrating these innovative supplement agents signals a new era for photodynamic therapy in oral healthcare—presenting renewed opportunities for practical, non-invasive, and resistance-free infection control—further studies are necessary to validate these findings, establish standardized protocols, and evaluate the long-term safety and clinical benefits of these combined strategies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15583,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dental Sciences","volume":"20 4","pages":"Pages 2058-2065"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145020957","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Growth factors, stem cells, and scaffolds alone or in combination are reported to contribute to successful tissue repair and engineering via cell transplantation, cell homing or other technologies. Among the growth factors, basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) has been found to regulate the proliferation, stemness, migration, and differentiation of vascular and mineralized tissues into various cell types through the differential activation of FGF receptors (FGFRs) and downstream signaling pathways. In addition to growth factors, various dental stem cells are widely used for the regeneration of diseased or lost dental pulp and periodontal tissues, yielding promising results. Stem cells from the apical papilla (SCAPs) and dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs), with or without bFGF, have been shown to be crucial for angiogenesis/revascularization, neuronal growth, and the repair/regeneration of the pulpo-dentin complex, apexogenesis, and may potentially be used in the future to treat various systemic diseases such as myocardial infarction, diabetes, retinopathy, and others.
