In a groundbreaking event that brought science, innovation, and practical insight together, AALT (Academy of Advanced Laser Therapy) hosted a one-of-a-kind masterclass led by none other than Prof. Praveen Arany, a globally recognised expert from Buffalo University, NewYork, USA. This event was held under the ILS (International Laser Specialists) banner and was actively supported by recognised world bodies like WALT, NAALT and IADR. This session was nothing short of a revelation for participants, especially for AALT life members, as it delved deep into the cutting-edge field of Photobiomodulation (PBM): Recent Progress and Advances in Mechanisms, Dosing, Regulations and Policy.
Shedding Light on Recent Advances on PBM Therapy: Mechanisms, Dosing & Policy
Prof. Arany’s masterclass focused primarily on the recent advances in PBM therapy, with particular attention to the mechanisms of action and optimal dosing protocols. One of the most crucial takeaways was the importance of accurate dosing—how precise energy parameters can significantly impact treatment outcomes. He talked in detailed about the concept of PHOTON FLUENCE and why 810nm wavelength is termed ‘EINSTEIN’
Dr. Arany also touched upon the Global Research Landscape Regulatory Framework, referencing a wide range of clinical and laboratory studies being conducted across the world, many of which he himself is pioneering. Discussions also extended to the policy and regulatory frameworks shaping the use of PBM and PDT therapies in clinical settings, ensuring participants were up to date with not just the “how” but also the “why” behind every protocol.
An Interactive Learning Experience
The session wasn’t just theoretical. Participants actively engaged in Q&A segments, raising important queries around PBM dosing, practical applications, and integration into dental workflows. Prof. Chandrashekar Yavagal from India moderated the session and himself with Prof. Arany answered every question with clarity and depth, making complex concepts accessible and relevant to everyday practice.
Unmatched Institutional Collaboration
This was more than just a masterclass — it was a collaborative endeavour supported by three world-class institutions, making it a truly unparalleled academic experience. For many attendees, it was the first time witnessing the depth of research happening at the cellular levels, offering a whole new perspective on how light-based therapies are reshaping modern dentistry.
