Clinical evidence of photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) on implant stability and success: A systematic review and meta-analysis
BMC Oral Health May 15, 2019
Chen Y, et al. - Via performing an electronic search in Pubmed, Embase, and the Cochrane Controlled Register of Trials (CENTRAL), researchers, for the first time, analyzed the clinical impacts of photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT), a type of light therapy using the photobiomodulation concept, on implant stability and success in humans. Initially, there were 675 articles identified, of which only 8 met the criteria for inclusion. There were no significant differences in implant stability or success rate between the PBMT group and the control group. According to this systematic review and meta-analysis, there was insufficient evidence from existing clinical studies to observe the positive effects of PBMT on patients' implants. To verify the data and draw convincing conclusions, an increased number of high-quality clinical randomized controlled trials are needed.
