Abstract

assays confirm the antimicrobial efficacy and demonstrate a reduction in inflammatory responses, thereby favoring the wound repair process. Our proof-of-concept data offer a promising solution for peri-implant infections, using visible-light-driven photocatalytic coatings in combination with PDT to combat biofilm-related infections while maintaining the properties that affect the longevity of dental implants.
