ABSTRACT:

Background

Photobiomodulation has been gaining traction as a plausible therapy to control orthodontically induced root resorption.

Aim

The aim of the present review was to systematically appraise randomized controlled trials conducted to study the influence of photobiomodulation on external root resorption during orthodontic movement in humans.

Method
