Dose Analysis of Photobiomodulation Therapy in Stomatology

الملخص EN

The penetration depth and the power density of photobiomodulation (PBM) in human tissue under real conditions remain unclear to date.

A novel quantitative measurement method was proposed in this study.

This study aimed to design a noninvasive measurement system for the quantitative calculation of PBM dose on the attached gingiva.

A flexible facial fixture appliance (FFFA) and nine piece detectors were mounted on the retainer to detect the real dose of 660 and 830 nm lasers on the attached gingiva.

In addition, the angular distribution of light scattering and the light propagation in the biotissue were obtained.

Two cases (a female and a male) are presented in this study.

Experimental results demonstrated that the real power density of laser in the target tissue can be measured exactly after the laser light penetrates the orbicularis oris.

Simulation results match with real conditions.

Conversely, slight differences in power density are observed in the tissue radiated with collimated and uncollimated laser.

The proposed method can be used to calculate the real dose in the target tissue for stomatology and deep acupoint stimulation.
