Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) has been studied and applied extensively in medical practice for various applications including musculoskeletal, dermal, vascular, and cardiac indications. These indications have emerged from primary ESWT use in treating urolithiasis and cholelithiasis. Likewise, dental medicine has had its share of utilizing ESWT in various investigations. This review aimed to provide an up-to-date summary of ESWT use in preclinical and clinical dental medicine. There is growing interest in ESWT use stemming from its non-invasiveness, low cost, and safe qualities in addition to its proven regenerative biostimulating aspects. Targeted tissue and parameters of ESWT delivery continue to be an integral part of successful ESWT treatment to attain the clinical value of the anticipated dose's effect.
体外冲击波疗法(ESWT)已在医学实践中得到广泛研究和应用,适用于各种病症,包括肌肉骨骼、皮肤、血管和心脏疾病。这些病症源于ESWT最初用于治疗尿路结石和胆结石。同样,牙科医学也在各种研究中使用了ESWT。本综述旨在提供ESWT在临床前和临床牙科医学中应用的最新总结。除了已证实的再生生物刺激作用外,ESWT因其无创性、低成本和安全性,其应用越来越受到关注。ESWT治疗的靶向组织和参数仍然是成功进行ESWT治疗以实现预期剂量效果的临床价值的重要组成部分。
