Effects of low-level light therapy on dentin hypersensitivity: a systematic review and meta-analysis

ConclusionsThis systematic review shows that LLLT has positive immediate, interim, and persistent DH-treatment efficacies compared with placebo. No superior treatment effects of LLLT were observed except fluoride agent use. Further studies are warranted —RCTs with low risk of bias, consistent technical settings, comprehensive assessments, and long follow-up periods.Clinical relevanceThis systematic review bridges a critical research gap by analysing clinical evidence in the DH-alleviating efficacy of LLLT in comparison with placebo and other in-office desensitising strategies.
