In a previous study about low-level laser therapy biomodulation on a full-thickness burn model we showed that single and fractionated dose regimens increased wound healing and leukocyte influx similarly when compared with untreated control. In order to verify if this finding would be similar in an impaired wound model, we investigated the effect of single and multiple irradiations on wound clos...

increased duration of fixed orthodontic treatments leads to increased tooth root degeneration, gum inflammation and tooth caries. to decrease the time period of orthodontic treatment, it is essential to facilitate tooth movement or in other words increase the speed of bone remodeling. use of low level laser therapy is a method for achieving this goal.

BACKGROUND To evaluate the treatment of gingival recession with a connective tissue graft (CTG) alone or in combination with low-level laser therapy (CTG + L). METHODS Forty patients presenting 40 Miller Class I and II gingival recessions were included. The defects were randomly assigned to receive either CTG (n = 20) or CTG + L (n = 20). A diode laser (660 nm) was applied to the test sites i...

introduction: tonsillectomy is among commonest otorhinolaryngologic surgeries. many methods have been used to control post surgical pain, but despite it, pain is still one of the problems related to this operation. recently, due to the non invasiveness of low level lasers, this modality has attracted attention. the purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of low level laser irradiation ...

in russia (formerly ussr) study of biomodulation action (bma) mechanisms of low-intensity laser irradiation (lili) began in 1964, immediately after the development of lasers. during the period from 1965 to 1972 several dozens of scientific conferences were held, hundreds of studies were published. generally, secondary mechanisms and results of lili effect on patients with various diseases were ...

introduction: dentin hypersensitivity is one of the most common complications that affect patients after periodontal therapy. recently low level laser therapy has been introduced as a new treatment modality and has produced beneficial results. the purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of low level laser therapy toothbrushes in reduction of dentin hypersensitivity. methods: in this pil...

introduction: the purpose of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (apdt) and low level laser therapy (lllt) on wound healing, pain intensity, swelling problems, halitosis and the postoperative usage of analgesics after surgical removal of lower third molars. methods: one hundred and fifty patients, randomly divided into three groups were selected (50 per each group)...

case presentation the patient was a 45-year-old male with t8 complete paraplegia; he had developed severe pressure ulcer. the authors used lllt as a complementary treatment. they used 980 nm, continuous 6 j/cm2 for margins and 655 nm, continuous 1.8 j/cm2 for bed of the ulcer, along with intravascular laser therapy. after 24 sessions of lllt and z-plasty surgery, the ulcer healed completely. co...
