bredent – HELBO

Dr Dragana Rakasevic, who works as a research associate at the Department of Oral Surgery, Faculty of Dental Medicine, University of Belgrade in Serbia and who earned her PhD in the area of peri-implantitis treatment and photodynamic therapy, has been using HELBO for the last ten years and has had 100% satisfactory outcomes.

“With this low energy, we do not need to wear glasses (no reflection is produced) and aPDT has a number of additional benefits:

• More than 95% of pathogen reduction.
• No induced changes to the bone and implant surfaces.
• No causal allergic reactions.
• The procedure is totally painless.
• The photosensitizers show a selective affinity for tumours or vascular tissue cells, therefore this therapy has found a purpose in the treatment of precancerous and cancerous lesions in the oral cavity.
• Since HELBO is a demonstrated alternative to antibiotics, there is no need for long-term antibiotics administration.”
