Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate photothermal aspects of photobiomodulation therapies (PBMT) in vitro to assist in the development of safe clinical parameters with respect to higher-power devices with large surface applicators. Laser wavelengths in the range of 650 nm-1064 nm were investigated using a thermal camera. Thermographic measures of surface and sub-surface temperature variations of similar lean porcine muscle tissue samples were recorded for a series of calibrated experiments. A thermal comparison was then made between Flat-top and Gaussian beam spatial distribution devices. Outcome data were subjected to statistical analysis using an ANOVA model. Results acquired at similar parameters of irradiance indicated that the application of the 980 nm wavelength was associated with the highest rise in temperature, which decreased with other wavelengths in the order 980 > 1064 ≈ 650 >>> 810 nm (p < 5 × 10-20). All wavelengths assessed were associated with a significant temperature increase, and with the exception of 810 nm, all exceeded the threshold of a 6 °C rise within the prescribed parameter limits. Optical scanning by movement of the applied source over a relevant area was found to offer effective mitigation of these temperature increases. An extended discussion is presented, analysing the clinical significance of the study outcomes. Recommendations are made within the limits of this in vitro study in order to assist future clinical investigations.

The influence of delivery power losses and full operating parametry on the effectiveness of diode visible-near infra-red (445-1064 nm) laser therapy in dentistry-a multi-centre investigation. Lasers Med Sci 2022; 37:2249-2257.

Abstract
The development of protocols for laser-assisted therapy demands strict compliance with comprehensive operating parametry. The purpose of this investigation was to examine the accuracy of correlation between laser control panel and fibre emission power values in a selection of diode dental lasers. Through retrospective analysis using successive systematic review and meta-analysis, it is clear that there is inconsistency in the details, and possible inaccuracies in laser power applied and associated computed data. Through a multi-centre investigation, 38 semi-conductor ("diode") dental laser units were chosen, with emission wavelengths ranging from 445 to 1064 nm. Each unit had been recently serviced according to manufacturer's recommendations, and delivery fibre assembly checked for patency and correct alignment with the parent laser unit. Subject to the output capacity of each laser, four average power values were chosen using the laser control panel-100 mW, 500 mW, 1.0 W, and 2.0 W. Using a calibrated power meter, the post-fibre emission power value was measured, and a percentage power loss calculated. For each emission, a series of six measurements were made and analysed to investigate sources of power losses along the delivery fibre, and to evaluate the precision of power loss determinations. Statistical analysis of a dataset comprising % deviations from power setting levels was performed using a factorial ANOVA model, and this demonstrated very highly significant differences between devices tested and emission power levels applied (p < 10-142 and < 10-52 respectively). The devices × emission power interaction effect was also markedly significant (p < 10-66), and this confirmed that differences observed in these deviations for each prior power setting parameter were dependent on the device employed for delivery. Power losses were found to be negatively related to power settings applied. Significant differences have emerged to recommend the need to standardize a minimum set of parameters that should form the basis of comparative research into laser-tissue interactions, both in vitro and in vivo.

Role of Photobiomodulation Therapy in Modulating Oxidative Stress in Temporomandibular Disorders. A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Human Randomised Controlled Trials. Antioxidants (Basel) 2021; 10:antiox10071028. [PMID: 34202292 PMCID: PMC8300797 DOI: 10.3390/antiox10071028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2021] [Revised: 06/14/2021] [Accepted: 06/22/2021] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
This systematic review and meta-analysis (PROSPERO registration; ref CRD 42020198921) aimed to govern photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) efficacy in temporomandibular disorder (TMD). PRISMA guidelines and Cochrane Collaboration recommendations were followed. Differences in pain reduction assessment by qualitative measurement with visual analogue scale pain (VAS), pressure threshold (PPT) and maximum mouth opening (MMO) were calculated with 95% confidence intervals and pooled in a random effects model with a subgroup analysis, evaluating the role of follow-up duration. Heterogeneity was analysed using Q and I2 tests. Publication bias was assessed by visual examination of funnel plot symmetry. Qualitative analysis revealed 46% of the 44 included studies showed a high risk of bias. Meta-analysis on 32 out of 44 studies revealed statistically significant intergroup differences (SSID) for VAS (SMD = -0.55; 95% CI = -0.82 to -0.27; Z = 3.90 (p < 0.001)), PPT (SMD = -0.45; 95% CI = -0.89 to 0.00; Z = 1.97 (p = 0.05)) and MMO (SMD = -0.45; 95% CI = -0.89 to 0.00; Z = 1.97 (p = 0.05)), favouring PBMT compared to control treatment strategies. Sensitivity analysis revealed SSID (SMD = -0.53; 95% CI = -0.73 to -0.32; Z = 5.02 (p < 0.0001)) with low heterogeneity (Τ2 = 0.02; χ2 = 16.03 (p = 0.31); I2 = 13%). Hence, this review, for first time, proposed suggested recommendations for PBMT protocols and methodology for future extensive TMD research.

Melanin pigmented gingival tissue impairs red-light lateral scattering for antimicrobial photodynamic therapy. Photodiagnosis Photodyn Ther 2021; 33:102135. [PMID: 33484874 DOI: 10.1016/j.pdpdt.2020.102135] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/01/2020] [Revised: 11/20/2020] [Accepted: 11/30/2020] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
Gingival melanin pigmentation is present in many African and Oriental descendant people and its occurrence in patients may interfere with the absorption and scattering of therapeutic doses of light. Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) is used as an adjunctive treatment for periodontitis and light irradiation may be impaired by tissue size and its melanin content. The aim of this clinical study was to measure the red-light attenuation in gingival tissue naturally pigmented with melanin. Ten patients with melanized gingival tissue were selected and irradiated by 100 mW red laser. The patients were photographed in frontal and incisal regions with a T2i camera (Canon, Japan) with 100 mm macro lens, 35 mm focal length, aperture f22, 1/100 shutter speed and ISO 200. Three randomly selected sites of each patient were used for evaluations and the irradiation values were assessed in the IMAGEJ software (NIH, Wayne Rasband, USA). Intensity in pixels was quantified in relation to the distance from the light incident point. Data were normalized and the results were presented as relative light intensity as a function of distance. The results demonstrated that red laser light is exponentially attenuated as a function of lateral distance and loses approximately 50 % of its intensity by 2.23 mm. On the other hand, the light travels 3 mm in depth to decay 50 %. In conclusion, our data suggest that melanin presence decreases optical pathway and irradiation protocols for antimicrobial photodynamic therapy in gingival tissue should consider light attenuation and depth of periodontal pockets so that efficient illumination of the target tissue occurs. Periodontal pockets bigger than 6 mm should be irradiated with more than one point.

Efficacy of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) for nonsurgical treatment of periodontal disease: a systematic review. Lasers Med Sci 2021; 36:1573-1590. [PMID: 33438165 DOI: 10.1007/s10103-020-03238-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2020] [Accepted: 12/23/2020] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
Although the standard treatment for periodontal disease is based on scaling and root planing (SRP), the use of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) has been studied as a complement to obtain better clinical results. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of aPDT as adjuncts to SRP, compared with SRP alone, on clinical parameters of chronic periodontal patients. Only randomized controlled trials with at least 3-month follow-ups, of SRP alone and in association with aPDT, were included. The MEDLINE (PubMed), Google Scholar, and LILACS databases were searched for articles published up to July 2020. Random-effects meta-analyses were conducted for clinical attachment level (CAL) and probing pocket depth (PPD) change after treatment. Of 141 potentially relevant papers, 22 were included. The association between SRP and aPDT promoted a significant CAL gain and PPD reduction. Periodontal treatment was partially improved by aPDT, and a favorable effect of indocyanine green-mediated aPDT was observed, and high concentrations of phenothiazine chloride presented clinical improvement as well.

Abstract
Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) has anti-inflammatory, analgesic and regenerative properties. This systematic review aimed to critically appraise the published data of in vivo human randomized clinical trials (RCTs), and present a comprehensive overview of the efficacy of PBMT, as an adjunct to the nonsurgical periodontal therapy (NSPT) in the management of periodontitis. The systematic review protocol is registered in the Prospective Register Of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) (www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/; ref CRD 42020169108). With the help of the appropriate key words, structured electronic and manual search strategies were applied to gather the relevant published data on in vivo human RCTs based on this topic. Seventeen papers that met the eligibility criteria were included in this review and subjected to a qualitative assessment. Current evidence lacks adequate information regarding the photobiomodulation (PBM) dosimetry, which is fundamental in establishing a standardized and replicable protocol for future researches. Furthermore, substantial discrepancies in the study methodology and a high risk of bias, arising from the majority of the included papers, abet to the inferior quality of these studies. Ultimately, there is an urgent necessity to conduct further well-designed RCTs in order to determine the effectiveness of PBMT, if any, by taking into consideration the abovementioned confounding factors.

Photobiomodulation Dose Parameters in Dentistry: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Dent J (Basel) 2020; 8:dj8040114.

Abstract
Objective: This systematic review and meta-analysis of published randomized controlled trials examines a possible relationship between optical spot size at surface tissue, irradiance, radiant exposure, total energy delivered, operator technique and reported clinical outcomes. Background: Clinical photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy has achieved a high level of evidence-based acceptance in the mitigation of oral mucositis associated with cancer radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and supportive clinical research in relation to orthodontic tooth movement, oral medical conditions, including burning mouth syndrome, xerostomia and lichen planus. Inconsistent outcomes have been reported not withstanding a substantial body of primary supportive research from clinical, in vitro and animal studies. Materials and Methods: PubMed, Cochrane Database of Reviews and Google Scholar search engines were applied to identify human clinical trials of PBM therapy in clinical dentistry. A total of 766 articles between February 2009 and June 2020 were identified and following a full text evaluation, 38 papers with sufficient data to permit analyses are included in this investigation. Results: Following a detailed assessment of potential factors that may have an influence in clinical outcome, a clear trend is apparent associating optical spot size to a positive or negative effect. Furthermore, there is a clear difference in the reported results in relation to total energy applied, delivery techniques and optical parameters, which merits further investigation. Factorial statistical analyses identified an association between smaller optical surface applications and an overall lower level of reported clinical success in treating superficial and deeper targets, and correspondingly sub-surface larger target tissues were found to be more responsive to therapy by use of a larger optical surface spot size. Moreover, use of multiple small diameter probe applications was found to provide inconsistent results. Conclusions: Many factors can confound clinical success including variations in anatomy, site location, clinical condition and subject individuality. To achieve higher levels of predictable outcome, a mature appreciation of these factors, plus an expanded understanding of laser parametry, tissue volume and target depth to deliver an adequate dose within current recommended guidelines, is essential.

Abstract
The penetration depth and the power density of photobiomodulation (PBM) in human tissue under real conditions remain unclear to date. A novel quantitative measurement method was proposed in this study. This study aimed to design a noninvasive measurement system for the quantitative calculation of PBM dose on the attached gingiva. A flexible facial fixture appliance (FFFA) and nine piece detectors were mounted on the retainer to detect the real dose of 660 and 830 nm lasers on the attached gingiva. In addition, the angular distribution of light scattering and the light propagation in the biotissue were obtained. Two cases (a female and a male) are presented in this study. Experimental results demonstrated that the real power density of laser in the target tissue can be measured exactly after the laser light penetrates the orbicularis oris. Simulation results match with real conditions. Conversely, slight differences in power density are observed in the tissue radiated with collimated and uncollimated laser. The proposed method can be used to calculate the real dose in the target tissue for stomatology and deep acupoint stimulation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) has been proposed as an effective alternative method for the adjunctive treatment of all classes of oral infections. The multifactorial nature of its mechanism of action correlates with various influencing factors, involving parameters concerning both the photosensitizer and the light delivery system. This study aims to critically evaluate the recorded parameters of aPDT applications that use lasers as the light source in randomized clinical trials in dentistry. METHODS PubMed and Cochrane search engines were used to identify human clinical trials of aPDT therapy in dentistry. After applying specific keywords, additional filters, inclusion and exclusion criteria, the initial number of 7744 articles was reduced to 38. RESULTS Almost one-half of the articles presented incomplete parameters, whilst the others had different protocols, even with the same photosensitizer and for the same field of application. CONCLUSIONS No safe recommendation for aPDT protocols can be extrapolated for clinical use. Further research investigations should be performed with clear protocols, so that standardization for their potential dental applications can be achieved.

Abstract
It is known that the presence of orthodontic brackets predisposes for a change in the biofilm, facilitating the development of gingivits. The sites are difficult to access with a toothbrush and periodontal curette, worsening inflammation, in addition, a gingival hyperplasia is associated with poor hygiene. The objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of photodinamyc therapy (PDT) as an adjuvant treatment, considering clinical immunoregulatory and microbiological parameters. This randomized, controlled, double-blind clinical study will include 34 patients, both genders, having used fixed appliance for more than 12 months, with gingivitis. Participants will be divided into two groups: G1 (n = 17)- Scaling and Root Planing + PDT placebo and G2 (n = 17)- Scaling and Root Planing + PDT. In G2 the following dosimetric parameters will be used: methylene blue 0.005%, λ= 660 nanometers (nm), 9 Joules (J) per site, irradiance= 3.5Watts (W)/ centimeters (cm), radiant exposure= 318J/cm. All participants will receive oral hygiene guidance prior the curetes scaling. The clinical periodontal data to be analyzed are plaque index, gingival index and probing depth. Crevicular fluid, from 4 pre-determined sites and saliva, will be collected and analysed for IL-6, IL-1β, IL-8, TNF-α and IL-10 cytokines using ELISA (Enzyme immunoabsorption assay) method. Total Bacteria count will also be performed, by qPCR and Universal16SrRNA gene. All analysis will be realized using in the baseline (T0), 7 (T1) and 21 (T2) days after treatment. Oral health-related quality of life will be assessed using the OHIP-14 questionnaire at times T0 and T2. If sample distribution is normal, the Student T-test will be applied if it is not normal, the Mann-Whitney test will be used. The data will be presented in terms of ± PD and The significance level will be set at p < 0.05. Our results may improve quality of life and add data to establish a therapeutic alternative for gingivitis during the orthodontic treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lesions of herpes labialis are caused by the herpes simplex virus type 1 and cause pain and aesthetic compromise. It is characterized by the formation of small vesicles that coalesce and rupture forming extremely painful ulcers, that evolve to crusts, dry desquamations until their complete remission. Currently the treatment of these lesions is done with acyclovir. Although it diminishes the symptomatology, it causes viral resistance and does not prevent the recurrence of the lesions. It is known that antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) has numerous advantages, among them: the reduction of the time of remission, and does not cause resistance. This protocol will determine the effectiveness of PDT in lesions of herpes labialis. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 30 patients with herpes labialis in the prodromal stage of vesicles, ulcers, and crusts will be selected to participate in the study and randomized into 2 groups: G1 control and G2 experimental. After signing Research Ethics Committee and TA, patients in group G1 will undergo the standard gold treatment for herpes labialis with acyclovir and simulated PDT treatment. Patients in the experimental G2 group will be treated simulating the gold standard treatment of herpes labialis (placebo) and PDT. In all patients, saliva samples will be collected for analysis of cytokines, and will be performed exfoliative cytology in the lesions. The pain will be assessed through a pain scale and a questionnaire of quality of life related to oral health (OHIP-14) will be given to them. Patients will continue to be followed up after 7 days, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months; if there is a recurrence of the lesion, they will contact the researchers.Clinical registration: clinicaltrials.gov - NCT04037475.

Abstract
Objective: This systematic review of published data critically appraises the consistency in the reported delivery parameters used in photobiomodulation (PBM) therapies research within clinical dentistry and makes reporting recommendations for future clinical protocols. Background: Key to the standardization of randomized clinical trials and associated peer-reviewed articles is the disclosure of all laser and light-emitting diode operating parameters. The current status shows a lack of full parameters and significantly impacts on the ability to integrate published data with current and future investigation into clinical PBM therapy. Materials and methods: Search engines, PubMed, Google Scholar, and Cochrane, were scanned for investigation into the effects of PBM therapy research within clinical dentistry. Key words "Low-Level-Laser," "PBM," "Photobiomodulation," "Oral" and "Therapy" were used and a total of 754 articles identified, spanning a period of 9 years and 1 month between February 2009 and March 2018. Only human clinical trials were considered. Fifty-two articles were included in this investigation and the reported basic delivery parameters used in PBM therapies research were considered for each clinical trial. Results: The overall reported basic delivery parameters used in PBM therapies research were too inadequate to be able to be replicated in further studies. These included parameters related to the power meter, beam cross-sectional dynamics, fluence, and wider aspects of dosimetry. Conclusions: The delivery parameters used in PBM therapy research within clinical dentistry, investigated in this study, presented a wide variation in their recording or nonrecording of all significant elements needed to have scientific validity. A constant inconsistency in delivering valid, reliable, PBM therapy doses, to target tissues was also identified. The lack of consensus in delivering a sound protocol for PBM therapy, is partly due to the lack of adequate reported materials and methods, which are essential for replication of individual studies. One way to resolve this problem is for Journals to insist on all comprehensive parameter records, used in PBM therapies, to be part of author guidelines in submitting articles of studies on PBM therapy in clinical dentistry.
