Abstract

Dentists were among the first academic adopters of PBM in spite of a rather meager scientific documentation. The observed effects were sufficient for many dentists, but those more scientifically inclined remained skeptic. As with all new therapies, the documentation has grown over the years and we have arrived at a situation where we can safely say that this is a method based on science. Still, we need to learn more about the intricate biological effects and about the best irradiation parameters, but that is not a unique situation for PBM. Our knowledge has gone from early anecdotal reports, to in vitro reports, animal studies and to RCTs.Two aspects of PBM have been attractive. One is the ability to substitute pharmaceuticals like opioids and NSAIDs with PBM, avoiding the many side effects of these pharmaceuticals. Yet another is the possibility to expand the scope of dentistry into new areas. The use of PBM to prevent or treat radiation-induced mucositis has been well documented during the years, and not least important, it has been proven to be highly cost-effective. Paraesthesia is a feared consequence of surgical interventions where treatment options are lacking. The use of PBM can not only reduce the risk for permanent or long-time paraesthesia but also treat them once it occurred. A particular area for PBM is non-responders. Dentistry offers a wide array of highly effective therapies but subgroups will not respond well. Using PBM in combination with traditional methods will be more effective, for instance for diabetics and for immunosuppressed patients. Overall, pain, edema, and inflammation are linked to dentistry.We treat these conditions but also have to cause them temporarily. PBM works well in all these three areas. Understanding this fact makes it easier to understand why PBM can work in so many different conditions. For instance, PBM has been documented as more effective than Botox for TMD. It has also been documented as useful in the treatment of somatosensory tinnitus, another area of TMD. Other documented areas are neck pain, pemphigus vulgaris, sinuitis, hypo-salivation, oral lichen planus and burning mouth syndrome.The biological effects of the blue curing LED have been underestimated and need more research. Certainly, more documentation is required, but again, considering the lack of side effects, PBM offers quite attractive options. Last but not least, PBM offers an in-clinic possibility of treating staff related problems such as shoulder and neck pain, carpal tunnel, burns, arthritis etc.
