Photobiomodulation therapy or PBM therapy is one of the most promising avenues of medical innovation in recent times. It involves the use of low-intensity lasers that are infrared or near-infrared on the spectrum. Using this radical technology, several issues and side effects that have been commonly associated with dental procedures can be mitigated and even eliminated.
Using modern photobiomodulation devices, we are thus able to provide relief to acute pain, experienced with certain dental procedures, as well as reduce swelling and remove any inflammation that can occur naturally as part of a process. Research has shown that PBM or low-level laser therapy, as formerly called, helps to significantly reduce oxidative stress and enhances the levels of ATP in the system.

The duration of photobiomodulation effects varies. Immediate relief can occur, but multiple sessions may be needed. Maintenance sessions could be recommended for sustained benefits. Individual responses differ.

PBM therapy has many critical uses when treating TMJ pain. It is used to provide relief from facial pain experienced by chronic TMJ patients. It also helps to reduce inflammation due to TMJ surgery and helps to significantly reduce muscle trismus. PBM is also an efficient way to treat TMJ pain arising as a result of osteoarthritis and helps patients experience a world of relief.
PBM therapy can be extremely helpful in the post-op recovery period when getting dental implants. Not only does it help to provide a significant analgesic effect, it also helps the implant to integrate into the bone faster, and improves the quality of the bone around the implant. If there is any post-surgery pain or swelling, it can be radically minimized with a single PBM therapy session.
Any periodontal procedure patient who has to go through a cut or incision greatly benefits from the pain involved. PBM therapy is an effective tool that helps to promote healthy tissue growth, prevents the death of any tissue, and reduces the chances of infections, swelling and inflammation after the surgery.
Even a routine root canal procedure involves the removal of enamel and dentine material from the original tooth. With PBM therapy, the pain and sensitivity experienced with a typical root canal procedure can be largely reduced. It also helps in post-op recovery by eliminating the chances of swelling or inflammatory response and promotes microcirculation, which hastens the recovery period.
