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: the american academy of orofacial pain defined temporomandibular disorders (tmds) as”a collective term that embraces a number of clinical problems that involve the masticatory muscles, the tmj (temporomandibular joint), and the associated structures”. pain and dysfunctional symptoms or signs such as limitations in opening, asymmetric jaw movements and tmj sounds are the most commo...

introduction: the optimum removal of bacteria and their toxins from periodontal pockets is not always obtained by conventional mechanical debridement. adjunctive therapies may improve tissue healing through detoxification and bactericidal effects. the purpose of the present study was to evaluate the impact of adjunctive laser therapy (lt) and photodynamic therapy (pdt) on patients with chronic ...

Damage of the normal tissue is a serious concenrn in cancer treatment. Hyperthermia by laserhas been considered as a safe cancer treatments methods with lower harmful effects on normaltissues. Using nanoparticles in cancer treatment has improved laser therapy, which is based ona selective cell targeting method to localize cell damages. Metallic nanoparticles such as gold,silver, and copper have...

Background: Laser-tissue interaction on low-level laser therapy (LLLT) has widespread medical applications (e.g., improved wound healing). The tensile strength of radiated tissue by LLLT is known to be increased mainly because of cross collagen bands developed after radiation.Objective: In this work, we studied the instantaneous effect of radiation of polarized laser beam on the viscoelastic ti...

Background: Treatment of vitiligo remains an attractive topic and several therapies with varying degrees of success have been used. The aim of this study was to find out whether the combination of topical calcipotriol and excimer laser increases the efficacy of therapy compared to excimer laser alone. Methods: Twenty eight patients in two groups were treated with 308nm excimer laser alone (14 p...

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 ...

introduction: low-level laser therapy (lllt) is shown effective in healing diabetic foot ulcer when combined with conventional therapy. since; diabetes mellitus is a leading cause of impaired wound healing. the aim of this study is to determine the effect of different diabetic control’s methods on the healing response of diabetic foot ulcer in those patients treated with low level laser therapy...
