Photo-engineering of Bone Repair Processes

摘要

This paper reports the state of the art on the photo-engineering of bone repair using Laser Photobiomodulation (LPBM). The results of our studies and others indicates that bone irradiated mostly with IR wavelengths shows increased cell proliferation, collagen deposition and bone neorformation when compared to non irradiated bone. LPBM is more effective when carried out at early stages. The threshold parameter energy density and intensity are biologically independent of one another.
