Photobiomodulation Therapy on Orthodontic Movement: Analysis of Preliminary Studies with a New Protocol

Abstract: This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) on the acceleration of orthodontic movements, deriving from its biostimulating and regenerative capacity on soft tissues, consequent to the increase in differentiation, proliferation, and activity of cells that are involved with alveolar bone remodeling. The present randomized controlled trial was conducted on six patients who required extractive orthodontic therapy because their ectopic canines had erupted. A total of eight… Show more

“…Since these treatments also increase the normal duration of orthodontic therapy, the acceleration of the orthodontic movement should be an option. While the use of regional acceleratory phenomenon (RAP) through corticotomies or conductive alveolectomy is questionable in its long-term effectiveness, moreover, linked to the surgical approach used [32][33][34][35], it could be useful to consider the association of this traction methodology and systems with a biostimulating acceleration effect [36,37], thus speeding up the regaining of the correct axial inclination of the impacted canine, which is essential for the recovery.…”
