VASQUEZ-MENDEZ, Juan Alfredo y PULGARIN-FERNANDEZ, Celia María. Biological mechanisms of photobiomodulation in impacted canine traction. Literature review. Salud y Vida [online]. 2025, vol.9, n.esp1, pp.117-130. Epub 30-Oct-2025. ISSN 2610-8038. https://doi.org/10.35381/s.v.v9i1.4541.
Photobiomodulation (PBM), or low-intensity laser therapy, has emerged as an option for improving orthodontic traction results. This treatment influences bone remodelling regulates the inflammatory response and accelerates tooth movement.
Objective:
To analyse the effects of photobiomodulation (PBM) on impacted canine traction, evaluating its influence on the biological mechanisms involved in the bone remodelling process.
Method:
A literature review was conducted using the electronic databases PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane and LILACS. The keywords used were: photobiomodulation, low-intensity laser, retained canine, traction.
Results:
Photobiomodulation has shown benefits in controlling orthodontic pain and has a positive effect on tooth movement.
Conclusion:
Photobiomodulation is a tool in the treatment of impacted canines, offering benefits such as accelerated tooth movement and reduced pain and inflammation.
