Risks And Side Effects Of Lllt

Clinical lasers are regularly being used to treat many dental conditions that cause swelling or nerve sensitivity

. In many cases swelling, nerve sensitivity, bleeding, scaling and other conditions were reduced significantly or completely eliminated. With results like these it stands to reason that widespread use of the LLLT in dental work would be beneficial to a majority of patients. But before the treatment can be applied on a widespread audience, side effects and risks must be thoroughly researched and determined. As of now, side effects have only been observed in few clinical patients under controlled conditions.

All patients who have been involved in the testing of LLLT in dentistry have worn eye protection goggles. So while no incidents of eye damage have been reported there have been no circumstances where they could possibly occur. Similarly, all patients who participated in clinical treatments were given ionizing spectrum. This eliminated the concern that cancerous growth could develop in the areas that were treated with the laser. Because of these necessary safety precautions in the laboratory testing it is unclear whether or not these concerns would affect people treated in everyday clinics.

Side effects have rarely been reported in clinical trials, but there have been circumstances where they did appear. In some cases, the dental lasers were shown to increase the pain caused by chronic dental conditions. These patients began with a chronic condition which would normally be eliminated by the LLLT were instead intensified and reclassified as acute. It is not known why this phenomenon occurred in some patients or what could be done to prevent this result from occurring in others.

Other symptoms of the therapy were direct results of the impact of the laser on the tissue. While these results were still not widespread, they were relevant enough that it is important to take note of them in order to determine how well LLLT treatments will work in widespread application in the dental field. When the lasers in dentistry tests were performed, some patients reported a warm sensation in the area where the laser was applied. This result could increase to include redness and irritation. This was determined to be caused as a result of the micro circulation in the area. Others reported fatigue after the treatment was applied. Though it is not confirmed this was determined to be the result of the body relaxing due to the cessation of pain in the area, and therefore not dangerous.
