Innovations in teeth bleaching: harnessing antimicrobial photodynamic therapy for enhanced outcomes.
Review in Lasers in medical science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to provide the first review on the emerging role of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) as an adjunct or alternative to conventional tooth bleaching methods. A detailed literature review of the current knowledge on aPDT bleaching was performed using PubMed and Google Scholar from 2018 to 2024. aPDT targets pigmented substances with precision while minimizing non-specific side effects. Studies have demonstrated that aPDT achieves comparable or superior whitening results to traditional methods, with reduced enamel damage and dentinal hypersensitivity. Antimicrobial action of aPDT further mitigates gingival irritation and secondary infections. aPDT represents a promising innovation in tooth bleaching, offering the dual benefits of aesthetic improvement and biological safety.
