Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) also known as photobiomodulation is almost 50 years old, and recently has been getting increasing acceptance from the scientific, medical, and veterinary communities. Discoveries are constantly being made about the cellular and molecular mechanisms of action, the range of diseases that can be treated is also rising, and home use LED devices are becoming common. This book compiles cutting-edge contributions from the world’s leading experts in Photobiomodulation and LLLT. Chapters cover general concepts, mechanisms of action, in vitro studies, pre-clinical animal studies, veterinary applications and a wide range of clinical topics. Edited by Michael Hamblin from Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, aided by two prominent researchers (Marcelo Sousa and Tanupriya Agrawal), this book will appeal to anyone involved in the basic science, translational aspects and clinical applications of LLLT.

Lasers have become an increasingly useful tool in conventional dental practice. Their precision and less invasive quality make them an attractive technology in esthetic and pediatric dentistry, oral medicine, and a range of other dental procedures. Lasers in Dentistry: Guide for Clinical Practice is a comprehensive, yet concise and easy-to-use guide to integrating lasers into conventional clinical practice. The book begins by providing the reader a thorough understanding of how lasers work and their varied effects on oral tissues. Subsequent chapters are organized by procedure type, illustrating common clinical techniques with step-by-step illustrations and case examples. In addition, each chapter provides an overview of the latest research for use in clinical practice. More comprehensive than at atlas yet practical and clinically oriented in its approach, Lasers in Dentistry is an essential tool for practitioners and students looking to broader their skill set in laser dentistry.

Photomedicine is one of the most inspiring and interdisciplinary fields in medicine that involves the research and application of photobiology with respect to health and disease. Photomedicine has contributed to the clinical practice of a variety of medical fields, including dermatology, surgery, radiology, diagnostics, cardiology, and anticancer therapy. Furthermore, expansion of its scope and contribution can be expected. This book covers a wide range of aspects and issues related to photomedicine, which brings together researchers from many countries. These include the basic science of photodynamic therapy, clinical applications in various kinds of medical fields, photochemotherapy, laser therapy for musculoskeletal pain, intense pulsed light therapy for photorejuvenation, biological function of low-level laser therapy, and photobiology for skin rejuvenation. Not only will this be beneficial for readers, but it will also contribute to scientists making further breakthroughs in photomedicine.

Basic concepts such as the optical and thermal properties of tissue, the various types of tissue ablation, and optical breakdown and its related effects are treated in detail. Special attention is given to mathematical tools (Monte Carlo simulations, the Kubelka—Munk theory etc.) and approved techniques (photodynamic therapy, laser-induced interstitial thermotherapy etc.). The part on applications reviews clinically relevant methods in modern medicine using the latest references. The last chapter covers today’s standards of laser safety, with a careful selection of essential guidelines published by the Laser Institute of America. With numerous research photographs, illustrations, tables and comprehensive summaries.

Chronic wounds are a major source of morbidity, lead to considerable disability, and are associated with increased mortality; therefore, they have a significant impact on public health and the expenditure of healthcare resources. The incidence of chronic wounds in the United States is approximately 5 to 7 million per year, and the annual cost for management of these wounds is greater than $20 billion. In addition, chronic wounds can lead to complications, such as infections, contractures, depression or limb amputation. These complications are associated with a need for assisted living and with higher mortality. he objective of this report is to systematically review the evidence on the outcomes of two technologies for wound healing: low-level laser therapy and vacuum-assisted closure. This report addresses the following specific questions: 1. In the treatment of chronic nonhealing wounds, what are the outcomes of low-level laser therapy for specific indications and patient types as a substitute for conventional therapy? Or as an adjunct to conventional therapy, compared with conventional therapy alone? 2. In the treatment of acute or chronic wounds, what are the outcomes of vacuum-assisted closure for specific indications and patient types as a substitute for conventional dressings? And as an adjunct to conventional therapy, compared with conventional therapy alone? This report also provides an overview of clinical and methodologic issues relevant to evaluating the evidence on interventions for wound healing. Many variables affect the course of wound healing; so well-controlled, randomized trials are necessary to reach conclusions on treatment efficacy. Skin wounds are a heterogeneous and complex group of disorders with a wide variety of causes. Approximately 70 percent are classified as pressure ulcers, diabetic ulcers, or vascular ulcers. Vascular ulcers are further classified as due to arterial or venous insufficiency. Other less frequent causes include inflammatory conditions, malignancies, burns, and radiation injuries. Often the causes of wounds are multifactorial, such as in the diabetic patient who has both arterial insufficiency and peripheral neuropathy. Each wound type has distinct physiologic characteristics and exists in a unique host environment with varied clinical and psychosocial factors. Wounds are often classified as acute or chronic. Acute wounds are generally less than 8 weeks in duration and have not yet completed the natural healing cycle. Chronic wounds are defined as wounds that have failed to proceed through an orderly and timely process that produces anatomic and functional integrity. Chronic wounds either require a prolonged time to heal, do not heal completely, or recur frequently. A large number of factors can impede wound healing and may predispose a patient to the development of chronic wound(s). These include both systemic factors (poor nutrition, metabolic derangements, and drugs) and local factors (tissue hypoxia, infection, and dry wound bed). Conventional treatment for established wounds incorporates common principles that apply to the management of all wounds, including debridement of necrotic tissue, maintenance of a moist wound bed, and control of infection. These common elements are combined with treatment modalities targeted to each type of wound and the clinical characteristics of the patient. Optimal treatment also entails consideration of the appropriate intensity of treatment. Unfortunately, there are no widely accepted, standardized protocols that define optimal standard treatment or the appropriate intensity of treatment delivery.
