Peri-implant disease may affect survival of dental implants. The aim of the study is to analyze the effectiveness of diode laser as a supportive modality to the non-surgical conventional treatment of peri-implant mucositis (PiM) and initial peri-implantitis (PI).
Twenty-three patients with single implants suffering from PiM or initial PI were selected and randomly divided into two groups;
control group (CG) received non-surgical conventional treatment, and test group (TG) received non-surgical conventional

Abstract: Background: Ankyloglossia is an anatomical alteration of the frenulum length, volume,
compactness, and insertion. It can lead to alterations in the ability to swallow and chewing, and
dysfunctional coordination amongst cranio-facial muscles; these alterations are often responsible for
respiratory alterations, skeletal malocclusions and dyslalia or the delay of speech. The aim of this study
is to estimate the efficacy of lingual frenulectomy with diode-laser technology through a qualitative

The aim of the study was to observe the eectiveness of a photo-biomodulation (PBM)
protocol for the prevention of oral mucositis (OM) in patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic
stem cell transplantation (aHSCT). A case-control study was conducted on 40 patients undergoing
aHSCT. The patients were divided into two groups; the preventive group (PG) included 20 patients
(7 females and 13 males) who were subjected to intra-oral PBM for five sessions a week, starting one

Hot corrosion affects the components of diesel engines and gas turbines working at high temperatures, in the presence of low-melting salts and oxides, such as sodium sulfate and vanadium oxide. Thermal-sprayed coatings of nickel–chromium-based alloys reinforced with ceramic phases, can improve the hot corrosion and erosion resistance of exposed metals, and a sealing thermal, post-treatment can prove effective in reducing the permeability of aggressive species.
