“…Facilitating the proliferation of the connective tissue cells and revascularization in the disturbed implant area may also contribute to better healing and integration of the implant. Taking this fact into consideration, a PS contained in a nanoformulation might improve the revascularization process and thus the healing of the surgical wound during photobiostimulation [ 226 , 227 ]. In a in vivo study conducted on mongrel dogs, their mandibular bone defects were treated with autogenous bone and satisfactory results in terms of new tissue formation and connection between bone and the implant were obtained.…”

In the XXI century, application of nanostructures in oral medicine has become common. In oral medicine, using nanostructures for the treatment of dental caries constitutes a great challenge. There are extensive studies on the implementation of nanomaterials to dental composites in order to improve their properties, e.g., their adhesive strength. Moreover, nanostructures are helpful in dental implant applications as well as in maxillofacial surgery for accelerated healing, promoting osseointegration, and others. Dental personal care products are an important part of oral medicine where nanomaterials are increasingly used, e.g., toothpaste for hypersensitivity. Nowadays, nanoparticles such as macrocycles are used in different formulations for early cancer diagnosis in the oral area. Cancer of the oral cavity—human squamous carcinoma—is the sixth leading cause of death. Detection in the early stage offers the best chance at total cure. Along with diagnosis, macrocycles are used for photodynamic mechanism-based treatments, which possess many advantages, such as protecting healthy tissues and producing good cosmetic results. Application of nanostructures in medicine carries potential risks, like long-term influence of toxicity on body, which need to be studied further. The introduction and development of nanotechnologies and nanomaterials are no longer part of a hypothetical future, but an increasingly important element of today’s medicine.

“…PBM is an emerging technique in orthodontics that involves the use of light to stimulate biological processes and potentially accelerate tooth movement during orthodontic treatment. As shown in (Figure 2), PBM utilizes low-level light, typically in the red or near-infrared spectrum, to target tissues in the oral cavity (22). The light energy is absorbed by cellular structures, particularly mitochondria, leading to increased production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy currency of cells.…”

“…Specific standardized characteristics of laser settings and methodological designs need further validation in larger trials to establish PBMT's reliability in routine clinical practice. The analysis across studies emphasizes the importance of addressing heterogeneity, refining parameters, and conducting more rigorous research designs to enhance the consistency and predictability of laser and LED therapy in orthodontics (22). Despite some positive effects observed in tooth movement rates, the overall evidence remains inconclusive, calling for more large-sample multicenter clinical trials to determine optimal parameters and treatment efficiency in human orthodontic practices (27,28).…”

Orthodontic treatment, while highly advantageous for correcting dental misalignments and enhancing oral health, typically demands a substantial time commitment. To reduce treatment duration and improve various aspects of the orthodontic process, accelerated methods for tooth movement have been explored. These methods aim to offer benefits such as decreased discomfort, enhanced patient compliance, and overall treatment efficiency. This study undertakes a review of existing literature, aiming to comprehensively assess the current evidence on accelerated orthodontic tooth movement. The review encompasses various acceleration techniques, including high-frequency vibration, microosteoperforations, Photobiomodulation, corticotomy-assisted orthodontics, and advancements in appliance technology. While some interventions demonstrate accelerated tooth movement and enhanced patient comfort, the field calls for further research, particularly in the form of large-scale clinical trials, to establish long-term efficacy, safety, and applicability across diverse orthodontic cases. This review offers valuable insights into the evolving landscape of orthodontics, emphasizing the need for evidencebased approaches and ongoing innovation to optimize patient outcomes and experiences in orthodontic care.
