While most applications of low level laser therapy (LLLT) in dentistry are directed toward soft tissues, in recent years there has been increasing interest in tooth-related or hard tissue applications of LLLT. This report provides an overview of applications of LLLT in the treatment of dentine hypersensitivity and pain arising from the periodontal ligament, and describes the phenomenon of lethal laser photosensitization and its applications in the treatment of dental caries. Technical aspects of LLLT equipment and safety concerns are also discussed.
虽然低强度激光疗法（LLLT）在牙科的大多数应用都针对软组织，但近年来，人们对LLLT在牙齿相关或硬组织方面的应用越来越感兴趣。本报告概述了LLLT在治疗牙本质过敏和牙周韧带引起的疼痛方面的应用，并描述了激光致死性光敏化现象及其在治疗龋齿中的应用。还讨论了LLLT设备的技术方面和安全问题。
