Low-Level Laser Therapy in Periodontics: A Review Article
Journal Title: Journal of Academy of Dental Education - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is a light source treatment that generates light of a single wavelength. The low-levellasers do not cause temperature elevation within the tissue, but rather produce their effects from photobiostimulationeffect within the tissues. Low-level lasers do not cut or ablate the tissue. The therapy performed with Low-Level Lasers iscalled as LLLT. LLLT devices include the gallium arsenide, gallium aluminum arsenide infrared semiconductor (gallium-aluminum-arsenide), and helium-neon lasers. The output powers range from 50 to 500 mW with wavelengths in the redand near infrared of the electromagnetic spectrum, from 630 to 980 nm with pulsed or continuous-wave emission.
