What is this course about?

The possible applications of PBMt - photobiomodulation therapy (PBMt) - in dentistry go far beyond wound treatment after surgical procedures. PBMt can regenerate lost tissue by differentiating mesenchymal stem cells to form interpapillary areas and secondary dentin. It stimulates bone regeneration and supports all procedures or oral and maxillofacial surgery through its anti-inflammatory and pain-reducing effects. It promotes the healing of ulcerative gingivitis and can prevent mucositis.
