Abstract

Background: Photo Biomodulation Therapy (PBMT) previously known as Low Level Laser Therapy is a therapeutic modality that uses red or near-IR light to treat the oro-mucosal lesions by the process of stimulation, healing, regeneration. It is used in the treatment of various pathologies, including several oral disease conditions and complications of oral cancer treatments. However, the results from PBMT varies significantly in various articles.

Aim of the study: To assess the significance of PBMT in the treatment of various oral mucosal lesions and complications of oral cancer treatment.

Research question: Can PBMT be used as a significant tool in the long-term therapeutics?

Materials and Methods: With the Medline, Cochrane and Medknow database (English literature) taken as reference, 20 articles that have undergone Randomized Control Trial was selected for the study after having met the criterion for Systematic Review.

Result: Photo biomodulation therapy is an important and significant tool to treat oral mucosal lesions.
