Clinical Efficacy and Safety of Photobiomodulation Therapy for Orofacial Conditions in Older Adults: A Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials

PBMT is a safe and clinically effective adjunctive therapy for managing orofacial conditions in older adults, particularly oral mucositis. These findings support its integration into geriatric oral care. Standardized protocols and well-designed RCTs are needed to determine optimal treatment parameters and long-term effectiveness.
