HELBO-THERAPY

HELBO Antibacterial Photodynamic Therapy in Pozuelo de Alarcón:

Pathogenic bacteria are the main cause of failures in dentistry.
In the oral cavity there are more than 500 different types of bacteria that are in turn an important part of the digestive system as they transform proteins and break down food debris.
There must be a balance between the different types of bacteria. When this balance is broken, acute and chronic infections can occur.
Periodontitis, commonly called Pyorrhea, is a good example of the loss of this healthy balance. It is estimated that in Spain 8 out of 10 people over 35 years old have some problem related to the gums, such as periodontitis.

Mechanical cleaning and rinses are not entirely sufficient to destroy bacteria. Even potent antibiotics are effective in the long term and have side effects and interactions with other medications, with the risk of developing antibiotic resistance in the body.

HELBO treatment is the only effective and fast way to rid the patient of certain types of infections without side effects and without pain.
The therapeutic concept is based on the marking of the bacterial layer by means of photosensitive dye molecules that diffuse into the bacterial biofilm.

The dye solution is activated by irradiation with a soft laser. Through the combination of the photosensitive dye and the laser light, highly reactive pure oxygen is formed, which leads to the elimination of the bacteria that produce the infection. The laser light also accelerates the healing process and brings a proven analgesic effect.
