B-Cure Laser Dental Pro, the Innovative,
Effective Treatment for Post-Dental Procedures
B-Cure Laser Pro is a new solution that puts a simple, safe and mobile device in the hands of the dentist thus helping patients during the post-treatment recuperation process by reducing pain and swelling and getting them back to their normal lives quicker.
The B-Cure Laser Dental Pro provides improved clinical efficacy, significantly reduced treatment duration, shortened healing and rehabilitation period and increased peace of mind with regards to patients’ recuperation.
What is Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)?
Low level laser therapy (LLLT) involves the transmission of coherent red and near-infrared light energy at wavelengths able to pass into and through the body at depths of up to 40 mm. 1
It is referred to as ‘low level’ because the energy or power density is low compared to other forms of laser therapy used for ablation, cutting and thermally coagulating tissue. LLLT is also known as ‘soft’ or ‘cold’ therapy because the density does not produce heat. 2
Soft laser treatment biostimulates the body’s natural healing mechanism on a cellular and systemic level. As a result, cells receive the energy required for activating and enabling optimal functioning in the body, thus allowing them to self-heal and overcome specific problems naturally.

Soft Laser for Powerful Relief
in a Light, Portable and Rechargeable Device
B Cure Laser Dental Pro uses the power of an exceptional electro-optical mechanism that is responsible for the emission of a fully coherent 4.5 cm2 beam not known in other portable devices. By utilizing this proprietary, patent-pending technology, B-Cure Laser delivers an exceptional combination:
• The power and full coherence of a clinic’s soft-laser machine, utilizing the selection of the highly effective 808 nM wavelength, emitting 5 joules per minute over a large area of 4.5 cm2.
• With a portable,rechargeable, safe and easy to use device.
The 250 mW power and full coherence of the 808 nM B-Cure Laser Light enables effective penetration of the laser beam deep into the tissues at levels only previously feasible in expensive, full-sized soft-laser devices.
The effective penetration into tissues allows many dental conditions to be treated externally and thus causing less discomfort, higher sanity levels and far more convenience for patients.
Combining this effective therapy with the ability to provide immediate and continuous treatment, initially in the clinic and later at home enables faster, high-quality recovery.
As a result, total healing time is lower than that of any other
portable soft-laser device available.

Laser light energy
LLLT involves the transmission of coherent red and near-infrared light energy atwavelengths that are able to pass into and through the body up to depths of 40 mm. 1
Laser light may influence even deeper tissues due to its known cascade effect.
As the laser passes into and through the body it generates a wide range of effects on physiological mechanisms and processes at the molecular and cellular and tissue levels. 2

Promotes wound healing

Dentine hypersensitivity
Two reviews have shown efficacy for LLLT in the treatment of dentine hypersensitivity. • A 2012 systematic review and meta-analysis of 13 studies found a significantly better
pain reduction for LLLT as a monotherapy compared to placebo. [Ref 3]
• A 2011 systematic review of 8 studies found LLLT achieved “superior” outcomes compared to topical desensitising agents. [Ref 2]
Surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molars
A 2012 systematic review and meta-analysis of 10 studies found a moderate benefit for trismus compared to controls (an average of 4.2 mm on the second day and 5.2 mm on the seventh day after surgery) when LLLT was used as an adjunct therapy. [Ref 1]
Oral mucositis (cancer therapy induced)
Two systematic reviews with meta-analysis have been conducted on LLLT for oral mucositis in patients receiving cancer therapy.
• A 2011 review of 11 randomised controlled trials (RCTs) found that LLLT as a monotherapy can help prevent development of oral mucositis and significantly reduce pain, severity and duration of symptoms. [Ref 6]
• A 2012 review of 33 studies concluded, “there is moderate-to-strong evidence in favour of LLLT... as a well tolerated, relatively inexpensive intervention.” [Ref 5]
Orofacial neuralgia
A 2010 review of four studies concluded that “low-level lasers [LLLT] have been shown to be effective in improving oral and maxillofacial pain,” in particular pain due to trigeminal neuralgia and post-herpetic neuralgia. [Ref 8]
Peri-implantitis
A 2012 review of non-surgical therapies concluded that “submucosal debridement with adjunctive local delivery of...laser treatment may reduce clinical signs of peri-implant mucosal inflammation to a greater extent relative to submucosal debridement using curettes with adjunctive irrigation with chlorhexidine.” [Ref 7]
Orthodontic pain
While no reviews have been specifically conducted for LLLT, four studies found significant pain reduction and faster pain relief when using LLLT during placement of orthodontic appliances compared to placebo. [Refs 8, 9, 10, 13] One of the studies also found
reductions in prostaglandin-E2 (PGE2) levels, which is a pro-inflammatory mediator. [Ref 13]
Strong Evidence for LLLT in Dentistry
According to a review of the literature, there is strong evidence of the
efficacy of LLLT for a wide range of dental conditions.
The body of published research includes systematic reviews,
meta-analyses and individual studies of LLLT as a monotherapy and adjunct
therapy. The treatment outcomes found to be effective include reduction
in pain, inflammation and trismus and improvement in wound healing.

Gingivectomy
While reviews haven’t been specifically conducted for LLLT, two studies have made findings of significantly improved wound healing in patients following gingivectomy surgeries. [Refs 11 and 12]
Cavity preparation
A 2011 RCT found decreased pain in children after receiving LLLT treatment before cavity preparation. [Ref 14]
Periodontitis
A 2008 systematic review of four studies of LLLT as an adjunct to scaling and root planning for chronic periodontitis did not find efficacy; [Ref 15] however, two RCTs conducted after 2008, including one of 300 diabetes patients, have found significant improvements in gingival inflammation. [Ref 16, 17]
Endodontics
A 2004 RCT found that LLLT as an adjunct therapy significantly reduced pain one day post-surgery. [Ref 18]
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain
While a 2011 systematic review and meta-analysis of 6 RCTs concluded that LLLT “was not statistically significant from placebo”, [Ref 19] two additional, more recent studies found significant improvements in pain and movement. [Ref 20, 21]
Dr. Gil Munish, a Dentist with private practice in Haifa, Israel testifies;
“I performed eight implants on a 48 year old man patient in one day on the lower jaw- four implants on either side of the mouth. The patient was treated with antibiotics and pain killers for a week.
He was sent home with the B-CURE LASER and was asked to treat only the right side of his mouth. On the first day post-treatment the patient treated himself for 8 minutes hourly and the following days until check-up six times daily.
A week later, the patient came for a review and reported that the pain on the right side was significantly lower that the left.
I routinely give my patients the B-CURE LASER and recommend that they use it after transplants.”

Medical Testimonials
Dr. Avi Reyhanian is a member of the Israel Society of Dental Implantology, an academic staff member of the Institute of Advanced Dental Education in Israel and currently practices general dentistry and oral surgery in Netanya, Israel. Dr. Reyhanian is also a member of the Academy of Laser Dentistry.
“Normally after surgical procedures such as implants, peri-implantitis, apicoectomy, surgical extraction, periodontal surgery, etc., the patient presents with swelling and pain. With the use of B-Cure Laser Dental Pro for 8 minutes prior to and immediately following surgery, followed up by several further treatments at home for several days after surgery, I observe - • only moderate swelling
• either moderate or no pain and in most cases there is no need for more than one tablet of pain medicine
• accelerated healing process of soft tissue • no side effects
After treating hundreds of patients over three years, B-Cure Laser has a positive influence on the healing process of the hard and soft tissues. Patients experience less pain, swelling and bruising - together with faster healing - and I have better peace of mind with regards to my patients’ healing process.”
