Furthermore, lasers require the clinician to deliver the exposure to the patient on a regular basis, rather than the patient themselves. Given the potentially limiting characteristics of lasers in terms of regional tissue application, LEDs stand to be a promising alternative for biostimulation (Vladimirov et al., 2004; Sommer et al., 2001) with the potential to be more effective and practical as a medium to uniformly deliver energy to an entire field of tissue and to influencing OTM.
