Anyone doing anything with LLLT and topicals. We had a TMD patient in today and had placed a topical. 5% Gabapentin,4% ketoprofen in an organo gel . I then used the lasersmile. We get pretty good absorption of this topical ,it just seemed that we got absorbtion after theuse of the laser. One of thre topicals also has Lidocaine and it is forsure absorbed faster with the use of the laser.

Yeah sure,

Your laser will speed up the absorbtion of just about anything through mucosa. Do what you did on the palatal or incisive area before giving an injection, and you have a kinder, gentler episode.

Same idea with the update of bleach on teeth to whiten, and with fluoride for uptake on enamel or dentin…..

David – just wondering, what are you using the topical for? I am assuming that in this post you are referring to using the LaserSmile unit and bleaching handpiece for the purposes of pain alleviation in the TMJ. I have not heard of using topical associated with this procedure. Thanks for any info.

Kelly, Sorry for the delay with my response. I was just hoping to increase the absoption of the topical through the tissue.
