We investigated if low level laser therapy (LLLT) of the joint capsule can reduce pain in chronic joint disorders. A literature search identified 88 randomised controlled trials, of which 20 trials included patients with chronic joint disorders. Six trials were excluded for not irradiating the joint capsule. Three trials used doses lower than a dose range nominated a priori for reducing inflamm...

Light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation (laser) is one of the most recent treatment modalities in dentistry. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is suggested to have biostimulating and analgesic effects through direct irradiation without causing thermal response. There are few studies that have investigated the efficacy of laser therapy in temporomandibular disorders (TMD), especiall...

OBJECTIVE This study was designed to evaluate the short-term efficacy of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) for improving pain and function in patients with knee osteoarthritis. METHODS Forty-seven patients with knee osteoarthritis (79 knees), of both genders, participated in this randomized controlled double-blind clinical trial. They were randomly allocated to two groups: laser group with 25 pa...

Lasers have gained an upper hand in almost every field of dentistry. Utilization of lowlevel laser therapy (LLLT) which uses a power of <500 mW have matured over time. Its advantages surpass its pitfalls and hardly have any contraindications. Low lasers interact photo-chemically leading to a change in the biochemical and molecular processes that normally occur in tissues such as healing or repa...

Introduction/Objective. Bone resorption is a common problem in dentistry, and bone reparation cannot be easily achieved. Several techniques of grafting the use low-level laser treatment (LLLT) as new therapeutic optional recommended for improving repair were applied. The aim study was to investigate influence LLLT artificially made defects rat mandible using histomorphometry. Methods. research ...

Photobiomodulation (PBM), as a form of light therapy, has been applied broadly in the medical practice. The biological photoreceptors use small-molecule cofactors called chromophores to detect and convert physical signal into biochemical transmission cascade. Visible (380–780 nm) can activate specialized stimulate vision regulate circadian rhythm. Compared with visible light, near-infrared (NIR...

introduction: low level laser therapy (lllt) also known as photobiomodulation, is a treatment that uses low-level lasers or light-emitting diodes (leds) to change cellular function and is a clinically well accepted tool in regenerative medicine and dentistry. considering the variety of laser, exposure, cells and study types, the exact effects of low level laser therapy seems to be unclear. the ...

Transcranial brain stimulation with low-level light/laser therapy (LLLT) is the use of directional low-power and high-fluency monochromatic or quasimonochromatic light from lasers or LEDs in the red-to-near-infrared wavelengths to modulate a neurobiological function or induce a neurotherapeutic effect in a nondestructive and non-thermal manner. The mechanism of action of LLLT is based on photon...

OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of low-intensity laser therapy on the wound healing process treated with steroid. BACKGROUND DATA Various biological effects have been associated with low-level laser therapy (LLLT). MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-eight rats were used, and after execution of a wound on the dorsal region of each animal, they were divided into 4 g...
