What is Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)? Low level laser (LLLT) involves the transmission red and nearinfrared light energy at wavelengths able to pass into and through the body at depths of up to 40 mm. 1 It is referred to as low level because the energy or power density is low compared to other forms of laser used for ablation, cutting and thermally coagulating tissue. LLLT is also known as soft or cold because the density does not produce heat. 2 Soft laser treatment biostimulates the body s natural healing mechanism on a cellular and systemic level. As a result, cells receive the energy required for activating and enabling optimal functioning in the body, thus allowing them to self-heal and overcome specific problems naturally.

B Cure Laser Dental Pro: European CE Medical Device 0120 Approved for Dental Usage Soft Laser for Powerful Relief in a Light, Portable and Rechargeable Device B Cure Laser Dental Pro uses the power of an exceptional electro-optical mechanism that is responsible for the emission of a fully coherent 4.5 cm2 beam not known in other portable devices. By utilizing this proprietary, patent-pending technology, B-Cure Laser delivers an exceptional combination: The power and full coherence of a clinic s soft-laser machine, utilizing the selection of the highly effective 808 nm wavelength, emitting 5 joules per minute over a large area of 4.5 cm2. Clinical Applications and Results in Dental Practice Crown preparation and implants Gingivitis treatment and periodontitis Post-operative muscle relaxation and joint treatment such as open flap surgery flexibility pain reduction, minimized swelling Decreased inflammation, minimized pain, and infection around the implants accelerated healing With a portable,rechargeable, safe and easy to use device. The 250 mw power and full coherence of the 808 nm B-Cure Laser Light enables effective penetration of the laser beam deep into the tissues at levels only previously feasible in expensive, full-sized soft-laser devices. The effective penetration into tissues allows many dental conditions to be treated externally and thus causing less discomfort, higher sanity levels and far more convenience for patients. Combining this effective with the ability to provide immediate and continuous treatment, initially in the clinic and later at home enables faster, high-quality recovery. As a result, total healing time is lower than that of any other portable soft-laser device available. Endodontics Decreased pain and inflammation Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) technique Decreased inflammation, minimized pain, accelerated healing Soft tissue lesions Accelerated healing, minimized pain Deep Scaling Reduced post-procedure pain and discomfort Differential diagnosis of hyperemic pulp Decreased inflammation, minimized pain Facial Pain Decreased pain, muscle relaxation Reduced TMJ pain Neuralgic pain or neural trauma 4 5

B-Cure Laser Dental Pro s Mode of Action LASER DENTAL PRO LLLT involves the transmission red and near-infrared light energy at wavelengths that are able to pass into and through the body up to depths of 40 mm. 1 Laser light may influence even deeper tissues due to its known cascade effect. As the laser passes into and through the body it generates a wide range of effects on physiological mechanisms and processes at the molecular and cellular and tissue levels. 2 Influences the permeability of cell membranes, and causes increased nerve activity. Increases the ATP (Adenosin Triphosphate) level and activates and stimulates enzymes in the target cells. Laser light energy Increases the synthesis of endorphins - hormones that relieve pain. Affect: Reduction in pain level. Increases the production of S.O.D which fights inflammation and reduces damage of free radicals. Affect: Anti-inflammation activity. Arouses the macrophages cells and increases the number of mast cells that help heal wounds. Accelerates the synthesis of collagen and elastin. Accelerates and induces blood flow to the wound. Affect: Faster wound healing and blood clotting, reduced scars.

Strong Evidence for LLLT in Dentistry According to a review of the literature, there is strong evidence of the efficacy of LLLT for a wide range of dental conditions. The body of published research includes systematic reviews, metaanalyses and individual studies of LLLT as a mono and adjunct. The treatment outcomes found to be effective include reduction in pain, inflammation and trismus and improvement in wound healing. Dentine hypersensitivity Two reviews have shown efficacy for LLLT in the treatment of dentine hypersensitivity. A 2012 systematic review and meta-analysis of 13 studies found a significantly better pain reduction for LLLT as a mono compared to placebo. [Ref 3] A 2011 systematic review of 8 studies found LLLT achieved superior outcomes compared to topical desensitising agents. [Ref 2] Surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molars A 2012 systematic review and meta-analysis of 10 studies found a moderate benefit for trismus compared to controls (an average of 4.2 mm on the second day and 5.2 mm on the seventh day after surgery) when LLLT was used as an adjunct. [Ref 1] Oral mucositis (cancer induced) Two systematic reviews with meta-analysis have been conducted on LLLT for oral mucositis in patients receiving cancer. A 2011 review of 11 randomised controlled trials (RCTs) found that LLLT as a mono can help prevent development of oral mucositis and significantly reduce pain, severity and duration of symptoms. [Ref 6] A 2012 review of 33 studies concluded, there is moderate-to-strong evidence in favour of LLLT... as a well tolerated, relatively inexpensive intervention. [Ref 5] Orofacial neuralgia A 2010 review of four studies concluded that low-level lasers [LLLT] have been shown to be effective in improving oral and maxillofacial pain, in particular pain due to trigeminal neuralgia and post-herpetic neuralgia. [Ref 8] Peri-implantitis A 2012 review of non-surgical therapies concluded that submucosal debridement with adjunctive local delivery of...laser treatment may reduce clinical signs of peri-implant mucosal inflammation to a greater extent relative to submucosal debridement using curettes with adjunctive irrigation with chlorhexidine. [Ref 7] Orthodontic pain While no reviews have been specifically conducted for LLLT, four studies found significant pain reduction and faster pain relief when using LLLT during placement of orthodontic appliances compared to placebo. [Refs 8, 9, 10, 13] One of the studies also found reductions in prostaglandin-e2 (PGE2) levels, which is a pro-inflammatory mediator. [Ref 13] 8 9

Gingivectomy While reviews haven t been specifically conducted for LLLT, two studies have made findings of significantly improved wound healing in patients following gingivectomy surgeries. [Refs 11 and 12] Cavity preparation A 2011 RCT found decreased pain in children after receiving LLLT treatment before cavity preparation. [Ref 14] Periodontitis A 2008 systematic review of four studies of LLLT as an adjunct to scaling and root planning for chronic periodontitis did not find efficacy; [Ref 15] however, two RCTs conducted after 2008, including one of 300 diabetes patients, have found significant improvements in gingival inflammation. [Ref 16, 17] Endodontics A 2004 RCT found that LLLT as an adjunct significantly reduced pain one day post-surgery. [Ref 18] Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain While a 2011 systematic review and meta-analysis of 6 RCTs concluded that LLLT was not statistically significant from placebo, [Ref 19] two additional, more recent studies found significant improvements in pain and movement.

Medical Testimonials Fast pain relief, Quicker healing Increased laser emission Dr. Avi Reyhanian is a member of the Israel Society of Dental Implantology, an academic staff member of the Institute of Advanced Dental Education in Israel and currently practices general dentistry and oral surgery in Netanya, Israel. Dr. Reyhanian is also a member of the Academy of Laser Dentistry. Normally after surgical procedures such as implants, peri-implantitis, apicoectomy, surgical extraction, periodontal surgery, etc., the patient presents with swelling and pain. With the use of B-Cure Laser Dental Pro for 8 minutes prior to and immediately following surgery, followed up by several further treatments at home for several days after surgery, I observe - only moderate swelling either moderate or no pain and in most cases there is no need for more than one tablet of pain medicine accelerated healing process of soft tissue no side effects After treating hundreds of patients over three years, B-Cure Laser has a positive influence on the healing process of the hard and soft tissues. Patients experience less pain, swelling and bruising - together with faster healing - and I have better peace of mind with regards to my patients healing process. Dr. Gil Munish, a Dentist with private practice in Haifa, Israel testifies; I performed eight implants on a 48 year old man patient in one day on the lower jaw- four implants on either side of the mouth. The patient was treated with antibiotics and pain killers for a week. He was sent home with the B-CURE LASER and was asked to treat only the right side of his mouth. On the first day post-treatment the patient treated himself for 8 minutes hourly and the following days until check-up six times daily. A week later, the patient came for a review and reported that the pain on the right side was significantly lower that the left. I routinely give my patients the B-CURE LASER and recommend that they use it after transplants. The B Cure Laser Dental Pro is used extensively within the department of Dental ץJerusalem Medicine at the Haddasah Medical Center in B-Cure Laser Dental Pro Treatment Regime 8 minutes treatment in the clinic before and immediately after dental procedure. Post-procedure: 8 minute treatments 4-5 times daily at home for several days.
