Using specific frequencies, photostimulation was developed into units known as brain wave synchronizers. Medical literature has shown the results of brain wave synchronizer use in obstetrics during labor and delivery, as an aid in anesthesiology, and for hypertension control. Dental studies have been conducted using brain wave synchronizers to relax patients during anxiety-inducing endodontic treatment. The first part of this article will review the medical and dental literature on brain wave synchronizers and the first brain wave synchronizer study on dental patients.
