The modulation of collagen fibers during experimental skin wound healing was studied in 112 Wistar rats submitted to laser photobiomodulation treatment. A standardized 8mm-diameter wound was made on the dorsal skin of all animals. In half of them, 0.2ml of a silica suspension was injected along the border of the wound in order to enhance collagen deposition and facilitate observation. The other...

OBJECTIVE This study assessed histologically the effect of laser photobiomodulation (LPBM) on the repair of surgical defects created in the femurs of Wistar rats treated or not treated with bone morphogenic proteins (BMPs) and organic bovine bone graft. BACKGROUND DATA This paper is part of an ongoing series of works in which biomaterials are used in association with LPBM. Several previous re...

OBJECTIVE The objective of the present study was to assess the survival and hatching success of chickens (Gallus gallus) exposed in ovo to far-red (670-nm) LED therapy. BACKGROUND DATA Photobiomodulation by light in the red to near-infrared range (630-1000 nm) using low-energy lasers or light-emitting diode (LED) arrays has been shown to accelerate wound healing and improve recovery from isch...

BACKGROUND Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is described as a subgroup of orofacial pain with a set of signs and symptoms that involve the temporomandibular joint, masticatory muscles, ears, and neck. TMD can occur unilaterally or bilaterally and approximately 70% of the population is affected with at least one sign. The disorder progresses with orofacial pain, muscle pain involving the mastica...

ABSTRACT Purpose: to know the profile of Brazilian speech-language-hearing (SLH) therapists and their level information on use low-level laser photobiomodulation. Methods: an observational, cross-sectional, quantitative study conducted with a self-administered online questionnaire related professional education, work, knowledge SLH Two hundred sixty-one both sexes participated in research. The ...

The main goal of this study is to analyze photobiomodulation therapy’s effectiveness on improving sports practice. Secondarily, the included studies were methodologically analyzed verify their quality. A review and appraisal literature found in Web Science, ProQuest Scopus databases was carried out. To evaluate risk bias studies. Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale PEDro Internal Vali...
