HELBO® Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy

Target 99% of Harmful Oral Bacteria

HELBO® is a clinically proven, light-based therapy that targets harmful oral bacteria using a light-sensitive dye and a low-level laser. It’s a fast, pain-free treatment without side-effects or antibiotic resistance. Ideal for supporting periodontal or implant treatments, HELBO® delivers over 99% reduction in pathogenic oral bacteria in a one-time application.

Control Bacterial Infections & Support Tissue Integration

HELBO® aPDT stands out as an effective, safe and speedy adjunct to traditional therapies. 

Instead of relying on systemic antibiotics, HELBO® delivers targeted disinfection directly at the bacterial biofilm, eliminating pathogens while promoting tissue healing. From periodontal disease and extractions to implant placements and regenerative procedures, HELBO® consistently supports clinical outcomes, patient comfort and practice efficiency.

HELBO® can be used across regenerative dental procedures including following tooth extraction and before or during implant placement, and is especially effective in full-arch protocols like SKY Fast & Fixed.

Why Choose HELBO® for Dental Regeneration?

Where innovation and technology meet ease of use and patient comfort

Non-Antibiotic Bacterial Control

HELBO® uses a photosensitizer and low-level laser to eliminate pathogenic bacteria without the use of systemic antibiotics. This is especially valuable at a time when antibiotic resistance is a growing concern.

Pain-Free and Minimally Invasive

The entire procedure is non-thermal and gentle. Most treatments can be completed in under 10 minutes per site without anesthesia. Patients typically feel no discomfort during or after the procedure, making it an ideal option for anxious patients, post-extraction care and supportive periodontal therapy where repeated treatment sessions are necessary.

Proven Antibacterial Efficacy (>99%)

Clinical studies have consistently shown that HELBO® can eliminate over 99% of bacteria in biofilm-infected areas after a single session. This high efficacy has been linked to measurable reductions in bleeding on probing, inflammation, and probing depths in both periodontal and peri-implant sites.

Promotes Healing and Tissue Regeneration

Beyond bacterial elimination, HELBO®'s light-based mechanism stimulates cellular metabolism and microcirculation. This helps accelerate soft tissue repair, reduce postoperative inflammation and improve wound healing.

Innovative Features for Clinical Success

The HELBO® system has been expertly engineered for long-term dental and implant preservation and improved oral health.

Targeted Photodynamic Action

HELBO® uses a highly selective form of disinfection known as antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT). It combines a photosensitive dye (HELBO® Blue) with a low-intensity 660 nm diode laser to create reactive oxygen molecules that destroy bacteria on contact.

HELBO® is entirely non-thermal, meaning it doesn’t generate heat that could damage tissue. Instead, its mechanism supports healing; the light energy promotes cell regeneration, improves oxygenation, and stimulates local blood flow.

The HELBO® TheraLite laser is compact, cordless, and designed for intuitive, everyday clinical use. It includes interchangeable tips for 2D (flat surface) and 3D (pocket or implant site) applications, allowing clinicians to adapt treatment to any area of the mouth. 

One of HELBO’s greatest innovations is its flexibility. It’s designed to integrate easily into existing treatment protocols, whether during hygiene appointments, implant surgery or periodontal therapy. The system adds just minutes to most procedures and can be safely used by trained hygienists or dental nurses under delegation.
