Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) offers dental patients accelerated wound healing and pain relief. Further research is needed to fully understand LLLT mechanisms and optimize its therapeutic application in dentistry.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Biophotonics
  • Regenerative Medicine

Background:

  • Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) has a long history of use across various medical and veterinary fields.
  • LLLT is emerging as a novel therapeutic modality within dentistry.
  • The technique utilizes light energy to stimulate cellular processes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce the potential of LLLT in dental applications.
  • To highlight the known therapeutic benefits of LLLT.
  • To identify areas requiring further investigation for optimal clinical integration.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on LLLT applications in medicine, dentistry, and related fields.
  • Analysis of documented therapeutic outcomes associated with LLLT.
