About HELBO / bredent medical
bredent medical GmbH & Co. KG, headquartered in Senden (Bavaria), is part of the bredent group and markets HELBO therapy systems for antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) and low-level laser therapy (LLLT) under the HELBO brand. The product portfolio includes the low-energy HELBO TheraLite diode laser (100 mW, 660 nm, Class 2 laser, battery operated, 80 g), the T-Controller control and charging station, sterile light guide probes (3D Pocket Probe, 3D Endo Probe, 2D Spot Probe), and the photosensitizer HELBO Blue. The systems are primarily used in dentistry, including for periodontitis, peri-implantitis, endodontics, and implantology; applications in general medicine are also mentioned. HELBO has been dedicated to research in the field of laser therapy for approximately 30 years in collaboration with clinical partners; on 01.02.2011, HELBO and HELBO Therapy were integrated into bredent medical GmbH & Co. KG. The offering also includes consulting, customer support, and in-house team training for users. Sales are conducted via the Senden location and HELBO Medizintechnik GmbH in Wels (Austria).

Therapeutic Procedures and System Components
Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy
Destruction of pathogenic bacteria through the interaction of a dye solution with light and oxygen, even deep within the biofilm.
Low-Level Laser Therapy
Low-energy red laser light reduces pain and stimulates the body's own regenerative processes for anti-inflammation and wound healing.
HELBO TheraLite Diode Laser
100-mW diode laser with integrated power control; photobiomodulation without thermal effects, mobile via battery operation.
Photosensitizer
Light-sensitive dye solution that selectively stains microorganisms and their toxins, but not body cells.
