Abstract: Craniomaxillofacial bone defects are with problems such as slow repair rate and limited bone regeneration ability, which often lead to delayed or even non-healing of the defect area, seriously affecting the quality of life of patients. Finding more efficient craniomaxillofacial bone repair strategies has become a key research direction in the field. Photobiomodulation refers to the method of using different light sources to produce beneficial therapeutic effects, which has the advantages of non-invasive, simple operation and high spatial and temporal accuracy, and provides a promising way to accelerate cranio-maxillofacial bone repair. In this review, we systematically summarized the effective parameters of photobiomodulation on craniomaxillofacial bone repair, elaborated the mechanisms of photobiomodulation on craniomaxillofacial bone repair, and summarized the prospects of the current clinical transformation application of photobiomodulation devices, so as to provide reference for realizing efficient and safe craniomaxillofacial bone repair strategies.

Key words: photobiomodulation, bone defects, craniomaxillofacial bone repair, biological effects, cell differentiation
