Dr David Fu explains photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) and its clinical applications in dentistry to treat a wide range of oral and craniofacial conditions.
Key Learning outcomes:
- The science behind PBMT
- The benefits of using PBMT in dentistry
- Clinical studies on PBMT applications on
- Burning mouth syndrome
- Trigeminal neuralgia
- TMJ disorders
- Oral mucositis
- Why MLS® dental lasers are superior
Questions answered:
- How often would you use PBMT in a clinical situation?
- How many treatment sessions would you recommend to treat TMJ pain, and how often would you treat it?
- Can you use it for alveolar osteitis (dry socket)?
- Is the laser’s effect accumulative?
The Mphi Dental range includes high powered dual-wavelength Class IV lasers. They are designed specifically to give the dentists fast and effective treatment for orofacial pain, TMD, intra-oral conditions including orthodontics and oral surgery. The benefits of this technology assist a wide range of dental procedures.
MLS® Laser Therapy
Mphi DPortable therapeutic laser for dental treatment with ergonomic handpiece 2cm diameter target area using high power multi wave locked system MLS® laser therapy system.
MLS® Laser Therapy
Mphi D5Mphi D unit has several advantages including addition of multidiode laser with 5cm diameter target area on pantographic arm and transport trolley. MLS® non-invasive laser technology is effective in accelerating tooth movement and reducing pain levels related to orthodontic tooth treatments.
MLS® DIFFERENCE
MLS is an acronym for Multiwave locked system
The MLS® laser achieves its results through the synchronised use of a superpulsed 905nm wavelength laser with the continuous wave of a 808nm laser. This delivers synergistic treatment of pain, inflammation and oedema in a single treatment session.
The synchronised dual-wavelength beam provides unique results for the dentist so that pain reduction is greater than with the equivalent single wavelength beam. While the 905 superpulsed laser is treating pain and promoting healing, the continuous beam 808nm wavelength simultaneously reduces inflammation and oedema.
The 905 laser is a true superpulsed laser system in contrast to many pulsed lasers that are merely chopped (turned on and off). The pulse rate of the MLS® laser is so rapid that the treatment area cannot heat up no matter how long the treatment lasts. It makes the MLS® laser perfectly safe for the surrounding tissues and the dentist.
THERAPY MLS® LASER ACTION
Reduction in pain – Advantages include less pain from pathology, trauma. It can be used pre surgery and post surgery.
Reduce oedema – Technology reduces swelling associated with disease or injury or potentially post-treatment. The dentist can use laser treatment for preventing or reducing pain and inflammation.
Heal Faster – improved healing of soft and hard tissue damage caused at cellular level by pathology or iatrogenic.
Speed Recovery Time – Therapeutic effects from procedures using high power MLS laser technology include biostimulation which means that the laser stimulates anti-inflammatory properties in the area by preventing the release of histamines and prostaglandins. This result promotes wound healing even in gum tissue through deep tissue penetration.
