Show Notes
While focused on dental applications like TMJ pain, xerostomia, and oral mucositis, this systematic review makes some very good points for light practitioners of any discipline. The researchers provide a look at the need to view deep tissue targeted laser therapy in tissue volume, rather than surface area. Dr. Rountree goes over the additional recommendations for proper spot size, energy dosing, and laser handpieces to achieve optimal tissue healing, whether the target is superficial or deep.
