A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW ON LOW LEVEL LASER THERAPY (LLLT) BIOSTIMULATION & INTRABONY DEFECTS IN PERIODONTAL REGENERATION

Dr Sharmila Sufia, Dr Yaseer Arafat, Dr V Benedict

Abstract :

Intrabony defect regeneration is achieved by various regenerative techniques one of which is Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) biostimulation along with open flap deidement (OFD). Conversely, LLLT through its biostimulatory effects it promotes faster wound healing through fioblast proliferation and release of various growth factors and improves vascularity. It also induces advanced new bone formation and matrix production from osteoblastic cells. Additionally, it causes less post–operative pain, hematoma and good patient compliance compared to conventional therapy.
