| Abstract |
|
Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is the application of light to pathology to promote tissue regeneration, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain. LLLT has a photochemical effect whereby the light is absorbed and exerts a chemical change. The clinical applications of LLLT include improvement in wound and bone healing processes, control of pain and tooth hypersensitivity, modulation of periodontal inflammation, the prevention and treatment of cancer therapy-induced oral mucositis, management of burning mouth syndrome, and improvement in temporomandibular disorder symptoms. Further research is needed to better elucidate the cellular mechanisms of LLLT and provide a solid scientific basis for the clinical application of LLLT in dentistry. |
