This review outlines health hazards from light-emitting technologies in dentistry, indicating effects on the oral microbiome.

Key Points

The review aims to evaluate the biological risks associated with light-emitting technologies in dentistry, focusing on their impact on the oral microbiome.
Chronological presentation of light-emitting technologies used in dentistry.
Assessment of biological risks associated with varying light intensities and laser types.
Analysis of the effects on oral tissues and microbiome disturbances.
High-energy visible blue light exposure raises concerns for macular degeneration and temperature damage in dental tissues.
Er:YAG and diode lasers show effectiveness against oral pathogens while suboptimal parameters may disrupt microbiome balance.
Low-level laser therapy supports tissue regeneration and helps restore microbial homeostasis.
