Photo-Biomodulation in Endodontics

Abstract

This scientific review explores the emerging field of photobiomodulation (PBM) in endodontics, investigating its potential applications and efficacy in root canal therapy. Through a comprehensive analysis of current literature, this review highlights the impact of PBM on biological processes, including its influence on inflammation, tissue repair, and pain management within the endodontic context. The synergistic relationship between PBM and conventional endodontic procedures is examined, shedding light on the potential enhancement of treatment outcomes. Furthermore, the review addresses challenges, gaps in research, and future directions for harnessing the full therapeutic potential of PBM in endodontic practice. Overall, this synthesis of evidence aims to provide valuable insights for clinicians, researchers, and practitioners seeking to integrate PBM into contemporary endodontic protocols. Through this comprehensive analysis, we aim to foster a better understanding of photobiomodulation's potential in endodontics and encourage further research to establish evidence-based guidelines for its implementation in clinical practice. By harnessing the power of light as a therapeutic tool, photobiomodulation may revolutionize endodontic care and improve the quality of life for patients undergoing endodontic treatments.
