Abstract

The current scientific evidence supports that LIPUS has many clinical applications in the dentofacial region. This includes, but is not limited to, accelerating bone healing after any surgery, acceleration of soft tissue healing, accelerating tooth movement, and prevention of orthodontically induced root resorption. Also, there is strong evidence that LIPUS can be used in other dental applications like healing of dentoalveolar fractures after trauma. LIPUS also may help in dental pulp regeneration as well as periodontal regeneration. Moreover, LIPUS may aid in implant-bone integration. Details of these current and potential clinical applications are discussed.
