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...

today, lasers are widely used in biology and medicine, and the majority of healthcenters and hospitals utilize modern laser systems for diagnosis and therapy applications.researchers have introduced different medical applications for different lasers used in surgeries and other medical treatments. medical lasers can be categorized in both diagnosis and therapy branches. main difference between ...

statement of the problem: recurrent aphthous stomatitis (ras) is one of the most common lesions in the oral cavity. due to its multifactorial nature, there is no definitive treatment for ras. laser therapy is one of the suggested treatments to reduce patient’s discomfort. purpose: the purpose of the present clinical trial is to assess the effect of low and high level laser therapy on pain contr...

Background and Aim: Lasers can serve as a new powerful tool in dentistry. High intensity laser therapy is becoming the treatment of choice compared with conventional periodontal therapy due to accurate incision and soft and hard tissue ablation, hemostasis, reduction of postoperative pain and infection, optimal debridement, and enhanced healing. Although high intensity laser therapy assumes to ...

low-intensity laser therapy (lilt) is defined to supply direct biostimulative light energy to the cells. while several studies have demonstrated that lilt has stimulating effects on bone cells and can accelerate the repair process of the bone, others reported delayed fracture healing or no effects after lilt. the aim of this article was to review the studies evaluating the biomodulation effects...

Akbari A1 1. Assistant Professor, Department of Physiotherapy, Faculty of Medicine, Zahedan University of Medical Sciences Abstract Background: Shoulder pain is the third most prevalent cause of musculoskeletal disorder after low back and cervical pains. Most of the shoulder symptoms are attributed to the rotator cuff. The objective of this study was to compare the effects of low-power ...

background: neuropathic pain (np) is a serious suffering medical condition that frequently leads to disability and life style changes. although the exact mechanisms of np are still unknown, recently the role of reactive oxygen species (ros) reported as an important factor for np. apoptosis, increase of atp production and reduction of antioxidants are also the other factors influencing in np. th...

one of the basic purposes in dental treatment is providing a painless treatment for patients. this purpose may be achieved by the application of laser in dentistry. low-level laser therapy (lllt) is an internationally accepted title for biomodulation with low-level lasers which we use to achieve ideal therapeutic effects. low-level laser therapy is a painless, reproducible, non-invasive, and wi...
