title?

Should the title of the article not be "Low Level Laser Therapy" as opposed to "Photobiomodulation"? If they refer to the same concept, there are far more citations to the former on pubmed.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 216.185.64.86 (talk • contribs) 13:17, August 24, 2006.

Newer research shows improvements. Some sections need updating.

I just came into this page in April, 2024, following some terminology from some NIH publications, and I see some sections on this page that reference research that was not (yet) successful, back in the 2006/2010/2012 timeframe, but there are newer things from 2014 and 2016 that show more promising results.

I am not certain that I am up for properly structuring the references and citations, so I'm just going to post a couple of URL's here, and leave it to someone more familiar with the details of the system.

Specifically, there are some mentions at several points in the page about uses in dental therapy and also in wound healing, and the references cited in those sections, are older, and may be superseded by some of this more recent research.
