“…44 In an interesting study, the effect of PBMT as an alternative to injection for the traditional injection of local anesthesia was evaluated. 45 They applied an 810-nm laser (200 mW, 6 J, 85 J/cm 2 ) in a punctual mode at the buccal cervical area of the tooth and on the gingiva. The results showed that PBMT-induced anesthesia pain score values were lower than those of the traditional injection of local anesthesia, so it may be considered an acceptable alternative to local injection in restorative procedures.…”

Introduction: This study investigated the photobiomodulation effect of an 810-nm diode laser in adjunction with topical anesthesia on pain perception during infiltration anesthesia of primary maxillary molars in children. Methods: This double-blind randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted on 64 children (aged 5-9 years) requiring extraction or stainless steel crown for their primary maxillary molars. The patients were randomly allocated into two groups (n=32) of laser and control. In the laser group, the injection site (buccal and palatal mucosa) was irradiated with an 810-nm laser (200 mW, 5.2 J/cm2 ) after 20% benzocaine topical anesthetic application, while the control group received a placebo laser following topical anesthesia. The pain intensity experienced by children during needle insertion into the buccal and palatal mucosa was determined using a visual analog scale (VAS) and modified behavioral pain scale (MBPS). Results: According to the results of the VAS and MBPS, no significant difference was detected in pain scores between the laser and control groups neither in the buccal nor in the palatal mucosa (P>0.05). Conclusions: Photobiomodulation therapy with an 810-nm laser with the current setting adjunct to topical anesthesia did not promote significant additional effects on the pain intensity.

“…The effectiveness of PBM is already proven, and numerous well-designed studies have obtained positive results, especially in pain control [9]. However, there are few studies on the relationship between PBM and its action in local anesthesia [10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. To date, there is no evaluation of PBM with 808 nm on pain control during pterygomandibular puncture for inferior alveolar nerve block.…”

“…sealedenvelope.com was employed to determine the initial treatment on the right side. Therefore, the right side received a laser-sham treatment, while the left side was treated with an effective laser, using a split-mouth design [16]. We opted for a split-mouth design as it provides a better estimation of treatment effectiveness when comparing two analyses on the same individual [17].…”

“…It was observed that some studies used the infrared laser in pterygomandibular adults' anesthesia: 980 nm, 15 J/cm 2 for 20 s [10]; 980 nm, 75 J/cm 2 for 150 s 500 mW [11]; 980 nm, 15.62 J/cm 2 for 20 s, 300 mW [12]. Other studies use infrared, but for infiltration technique in the maxilla: 830 nm in palatal anesthesia, 4 J/cm 2 for 33 s,120 mW [13]; 915 nm in incisors anesthesia, 1.5 W, and 72 J/cm 2 [14], and 940 nm in canine anesthesia 15.28 J/cm 2 for 60 s, 200 mW [15] and infiltration in mandible 810 nm, 85 J/cm 2 for 30 s [16]. To date, there is no evaluation of PBM (808 nm) on pain control during pterygomandibular puncture for inferior alveolar nerve block.…”

The objective of this split‐mouth case report is to evaluate the effect of photobiomodulation (PBM, 880 nm) on pain control during pterygomandibular puncture. A patient received anesthesia on both sides of the mouth in a randomized manner. On the right side, an 880‐nm infrared laser was applied immediately before local anesthesia. On the left side, a sham laser was applied using the same technique. There was a 50% reduction in pain levels on the PBM‐treated side compared to the PBM‐sham side, as measured by the visual analog scale. Sensitivity tests revealed that anesthesia was more effective on the PBM side. There was no difference in blood pressure. This case report suggests that PBM (880 nm) before anesthesia may alleviate puncture pain associated with pterygomandibular anesthesia. Although these findings are based on a single case report, they can serve as the initial stepping stone for further randomized clinical trials.
