The longitudinal growth of long bones is attributed to epiphyseal growth. However, the effects of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) in such structures has still not been studied extensively in the literature. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the use of LLLT, 670 nm, at three different doses on the epiphyseal growth of the right tibia of rats. Twenty-one Wistar rats, aged four weeks...

OBJECTIVES To test the hypothesis that mechanical forces combined with low-level laser therapy stimulate the rate of orthodontic tooth movement. STUDY DESIGN This study was a double blind, randomized placebo/control matched pairs clinical trial to test the efficacy of GaAlAs low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on 12 young adult patients who required retraction of maxillary canines into first premo...

Low level laser therapy (LLLT) is frequently used in the treatment of wounds, soft tissue injury and in pain management. The exact penetration depth of LLLT in human tissue remains unspecified. Similar uncertainty regarding penetration depth arises in treating animals. This study was designed to test the hypothesis that transmission of LLLT in horses is increased by clipping the hair and/or by ...

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare switched on and switched off (sham) low-level laser therapy (LLLT) in the treatment of drug-induced hyposalivation. Background Data: Hyposalivation is decreased salivary flow rate most frequently present in patients who take a lot of medication, suffer from Sjögren’s syndrome, or were irradiated. Available therapies provide only short-term relief....

The authors performed a review of the literature to evaluate the efficacy of low level laser therapy (LLLT) for the treatment of temporomandibular disorders (TMD). Selection criteria included: 1) human subjects, 2) articles written in English, and 3) randomized placebo-controlled trials. Evaluation was performed according to the CONSORT 2010 criteria. A total of 14 articles were included in the...

objective: low-level laser therapy (lllt) has been increasingly in use over the last few decades in both medicine and dentistry. it has been suggested that lllt may be helpful in pulpal wound healing following pulp exposure. the purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of lllt and formocresol (fc) application in healing of remaining pulp following pulp amputation in primary molars...

introduction: chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis (com) is a common, debilitating complication of cancer therapy. the aims of this study were to evaluate the effect of low level laser therapy (lllt) on prevention of com in patients with hematologic malignancies. methods: fifty-five patients hospitalized to undergo chemotherapy in imam hospital were included into the study. these patients were d...

Introduction: Dental pain leads to reduced daily activities and poor quality of life, low level laser therapy (LLLT) is considered a recent technique in the dental field. Objective: To analyze literature about use LLLT, its applications for control, inflammation controversy benefits different branches dentistry such as Endodontics, Periodontics, Orthodontics Photobiomodulation. Methodology: An ...

low level laser therapy (lllt) uses a light source that generates extremely pure light, of a single wavelength1. the effect is not thermal, but rather related to photochemical reactions in the cells. lllt was introduced as an alternative non-invasive treatment for oa about 10 years ago, but its effectiveness is still controversial2. a cochrane review of lllt in osteoarthritis included five tria...

This current review aims to provide an overview of the most recent research from last 10 years on potential low-level light therapy (LLLT) in orthodontic field, particularly focusing studies about tooth movement, root resorption, pain perception during treatment, and stability miniscrews. “Low-level laser,” “orthodontic,” “LLLT” were search terms utilized databases Scopus, Web Science, PubMed, ...
