introduction: post-endodontic treatment pain is a relatively common condition which needs analgesics for patient’s pain relief. low-level laser therapy (lllt) is suggested as a non-pharmacological and non-invasive treatment for dealing with painful conditions. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the pain relief effect of lllt after endodontic treatment. methods: eighty patients randomly r...

INTRODUCTION Xerostomia is a subjective complaint of mouth/oral dryness, caused by a reduction in normal salivary secretion due to different causes. Even though there are many available treatment modalities to enhance salivary flow, the therapy often remains unsatisfactory. The low-level laser therapy (low-level laser irradiation, photo-biomodulation) has been extensively used as a new, non-inv...

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 t...

abstract background: in recent years, the endovenous laser therapy (evlt) has been proposed to treat the incompetent greater saphenous veins (gsv) to increase patient comfort,and to reduce cost as well as risk. evlt causes vein wall thickening, luminal contraction and vein fibrosis. the purpose of this article, as the first report from iran, is to review our experience and outline the early res...

introduction: osteoarthritis (oa) is a common degenerative joint disease particularly in older subjects. it is usually associated with pain, restricted range of motion, muscle weakness, difficulties in daily living activities and impaired quality of life. to determine the effects of adding two different intensities of low-level laser therapy (lllt) to exercise training program on pain severity,...

several methods have been employed for cancer treatment including surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy. today, recent advances in medical science and development of new technologies, have led to the introduction of new methods such as hormone therapy, photodynamic therapy (pdt), treatments using nanoparticles and eventually combinations of lasers and nanoparticles. the unique features of...

temporomandibular disorders (tmd) are clinical conditions characterized by pain and sounds of the temporomandibular joint (tmj). this study was designed to assess the effect of low-level laser therapy (lllt) on healing of osteoarthritis in rats with tmd.thirty-two male wistar rats (250-200 g) were housed in standard plastic cages. after injection of complete freund's adjuvant into the tmj, rats...
