Implementation of Low-Level Laser Therapy in Dentistry: A Review
A type of light therapy known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) uses only one wavelength of light. Low-level lasers (LLL) do not have a warming effect on the tissues; instead, they have an effect called photobiostimulation. LLL do not evaporate the tissue. The use of LLL to manage a range of illness...

description | A type of light therapy known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) uses only one wavelength of light. Low-level lasers (LLL) do not have a warming effect on the tissues; instead, they have an effect called photobiostimulation. LLL do not evaporate the tissue. The use of LLL to manage a range of illnesses is known as LLLT. Helium-neon lasers are an illustration of an LLLT product. Gallium arsenide, the infrared semiconductor made of gallium aluminum arsenide, is also an example. The performance powers range from 50 to 500 mW with electromagnetic spectrum wavelengths in the red and near-infrared region spanning from 630 to 980 nm and pulsed or continuous-wave emission. In periodontics, LLLT has gained prominence for several applications, including wound healing and pain relief after non-surgical and surgical procedures. |
