"Lighting the Way” Photobiomodulation for Healing, Pain and Patient Experience

LYNN ATKINSON, RDH

Course Description:

Photobiomodulation (PBM), formerly known as low-level laser therapy, is emerging as a powerful adjunct in periodontal and implant care. By delivering low-dose red and near-infrared light to tissues, PBM can modulate mitochondrial function, reduce inflammation and pain, and enhance wound healing without cutting or ablating tissue. This course translates the science into practical chairside protocols tailored to periodontists, hygienists, and restorative clinicians. We will review current evidence for PBM in periodontal wound healing, post-operative pain, oral mucositis, TMD/orofacial pain, and peri-implant therapy, along with real-world parameters for diode lasers commonly used in practice. Attendees will leave with a clear framework for integrating PBM into existing workflows—from diagnosis and case presentation to post-op care and maintenance.
