Photobiomodulation or low-level laser therapy.

Photobiomodulation Laser Strategies in Periodontal Therapy

Laser is considered basically effective for treating periodontal diseases because of its excellent physical properties namely ablation, hemostasis, bacterial killing and cell stimulation. The current laser application mainly used for the treatment of periodontitis is high-power laser ablation (HLLT). Laser ablation of diseased periodontal tissues using the HLLT is widely performed, partly expec...

Low-level light/laser therapy versus photobiomodulation therapy.

As Juliet states: ‘‘What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.’’ However, a name, if ill-conceived and lacking a clear definition, can have profound effects on the image and acceptance of a therapy by mainstream medicine. Sunlight has much anecdotal use in ancient scriptures. In the late eighteenth century, Niels Ryberg Finsen pioneered the use of red an...

Dosimetry for photobiomodulation therapy: response to Sommers et al.

In a recent article by Sommer et al. in Annals of Translational Medicine, the authors make several key comments on our recent article in Scientific Reports entitled “Molecular pathway of near infrared laser phototoxicity involves ATF4 orchestrated ER stress” (1). Firstly, we would like to thank the authors for their laudatory, constructive comments, specifically appreciating the rigorous effort...
