Photobiomodulation in the treatment of oral diseases

The modern conception of dentistry is based on the search for noninvasive clinical applicability methods that improve prognoses dental pathologies and, therefore, interest in light-tissue interaction technology has increased last decade. present study aims to explore photobiomodulation (PBM) with emphasis wavelengths provided target tissues and underlying mechanisms action lasers observed treatment various oral diseases, as well affected processes include, but are not limited wound healing, tissue biostimulation, nerve regeneration, inhibition pain inflammatory processes. effects obtained through correlated parameters involved, such equipment used, wavelength, power dosages, irradiation duration, energy density, general patient conditions, tissue, pathology etiologies considered. Depending conditions reported, photobiomodulator effect or also known low intensity laser therapy (LLLT) influences increase cellular metabolism application photonic presents monochromaticity propagates consistently time space. Thus, protocols properties this therapeutic modality should be analyzed associated glandular, neural, autoimmune, traumatic, idiopathic diseases.
