Abstract
|
|
|
|
Photobiomodulation therapy, owing to its photobiological anti-inflammatory and wound healing effects, has been suggested as a non-invasive, safe, and effective approach in treating salivary dysfunctions. Xerostomia or dry mouth and hyposalivation are challenging conditions, and patients suffer oral problems and a poor quality of life. Several studies have demonstrated the potential of photobiomodulation in reducing xerostomia and hyposalivation. However, there is a lack of synthesis of available evidence to establish whether it is an efficient, safe, and cost-effective method. In addition, the challenges include the lack of consensus on the optimal PBM dosage, as well as the variability of the findings in published studies.
