In the USA:Off label use
Low Level lasers are considered by the FDA as NSR medical device that poses
NONSIGNIFICANT RISK (NSF) to patients
No FDA -IRB (Institutional Review Board) review is required if the off label use is used to treat patients and is not part of a research project involving humans

Photobiomodulation (LLLT) in a Pediatric Dental Practice
The red and near infrared light (600nm-1000nm) commonly used in LLLT can be produced by laser or high intensity LEDs. The intensity of LLLT lasers and LED's is not high like a surgical laser. There is no heating effect.

1. Lasers that operate using energy densities below the threshold where irreversible changes in cells occur.
• After a traumatic cellular injury: PBM reduces what is called “oxidative stress” ,basicly the mitochondria in damaged tissue produce “nitric oxide” that (competitively displaces O2 ,creates Hypoxic cells) binds to the “Cytochrome c oxidase(COX), resulting in oxidative stress, this in turn reduces ATP production. The LLLT (red and Near-infrared , 650-1100nm range )energy is absorbed by the cytochrome c oxidase displacing the problematic nitric oxide thus reduces this oxidative stress and allows for increased ATP formation. Thus quicker cell repair.
How Does PBM work ? Very briefly (James Carroll, visit Thorlaser.com)
• Uses light energy which can be absorbed in the form of photons from both PBM and superluminous diodes to create cellular and biologial effects in the body.
• Absorbed by the Mitochondria within the cell• Power Plant of the cell where ATP is produced

Analgesia
LLLT creating a nerve block. Higher irradiance / energy treatments can induce an analgesic effect by disrupting fast axonal transport in small diameter fibres, in particular nociceptors. This temporary (reversible) inhibition of A-delta and C fibre transmission reduces tonic peripheral nociceptive afferent input and facilitates reorganisation of the modulation of synaptic connections. Repeated treatments lead to a reduction in central sensitisation.

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry defines a pulpotomy as when the coronal pulp is amputated, and the remaining vital radicular pulp tissue surface is treated with a medicament such as formocreosol or ferric Sulfate or with electrocautery to preserve the radicular pulp’s health.
