“…Photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy refers to light at a non-thermal irradiance with power outputs in the milliwatt (mW) range, and has emerged in recent years to modulate skin and connective tissue processes [12][13][14][15][16]. The wavelength spectrum ranges from 390 to 1100 nm and is applied with coherent or non-coherent light sources, consisting of low-power lasers, light-emitting diodes (LED), or filtered lamps [17,18].…”

“…The result obtained in the group of 17 patients was similar to the statistical significance ( p =0.06) [ 23 ]. Calderhead confirmed in his studies that the light radiation energy derived from LEDs, which is mainly used in aesthetic medicine, depending on the radiated wavelength and angle of incidence, exerts an effect on tissues locally and has an ability to penetrate into their interior [ 24 ]. The abovementioned process of action confirms the results achieved in the authors' own research, which are undoubtedly influenced by the factor in question at the site of pain and an adequate penetration into painful tissue, which certainly leads to an analgesic effect.…”

Introduction. Temporomandibular joints (TMJs) play a very significant function in the activity of the locomotor system of the masticatory system. But they are often a source of pain, myopathy, myoarthropathy, and malfunction of their surrounding or internal structures. The treatment of a patient’s discomfort associated with masticatory system dysfunctions strongly depends on their cause. Aim of the Study. The objective of the study was to evaluate the impact of selected physical factors: LED light therapy with electromagnetic field and cryotherapy for the level of pain, in the treatment of patients suffering from temporomandibular disorders (TMDs). Materials and Methods. The study included 60 patients of both genders with diagnosed TMD in a clinical trial. The participants were randomly divided into two groups. Each group consisted of 30 people and was subjected to separate therapies in which LED light therapy with electromagnetic field (MLT) and cryotherapy (CT) were applied. Results. Having assessed the results of the author’s own research in terms of analgesic activity, determined on the VAS scale during the daily routine activity of the mandible and its individual movements, in general, each of the studied groups demonstrated a considerable decrease in the level of the patients’ perception of pain (<0.001). Having compared both the therapeutic methods used, a greater reduction in the level of perceived pain was achieved with MLT (p=0.002). The type of therapy used turned out to be the only significant factor for the magnitude of this reduction. Conclusions. Conclusions based on the results of our own research indicate that the selected methods of treatment demonstrate an analgesic effect in terms of the overall discomfort in the course of TMD, and that they may be an alternative pain relief thereby reducing the patient’s intake of painkillers.

“…Calderhead and colleagues reviewed 830 nm LED-LLLT both in stand-alone and in adjunctive indications and came to the same conclusion [56]. In a recent invited review for Clinics in Plastic Surgery, Calderhead and Vasily examined the efficacy of LED-LLLT in the aging face, and again pointed to the overall efficacy of the 830 nm wavelength [57].…”

Sunlight is essential to almost all forms of life for both light and heat. Plants need sunlight for photosynthesis, and man and animals alike need plants for many vital purposes. The sun featured many Millennia ago not only as a deity but also as a therapeutic source, so phototherapy is by no means a recent phenomenon. Niels Finsen's therapeutic arc lamp system in the early 1900s replaced the sun as a therapeutic source. Since then, many light sources have been successfully applied for phototherapy, with laser diodes and lightemitting diodes the most efficient. This chapter will explore what phototherapy is, and examine its important role in the fast-developing indication of skin rejuvenation. Systems used in phototherapy will be discussed and compared. Photobiological basics and light/ tissue interaction underlying the process will be examined, together with the importance of treatment parameters. The wound healing process, on which skin rejuvenation rests, will be dissected with a discussion of the optimum wavelengths to photoactivate the skin cells, leading to the clinical indications in photorejuvenation.
