While the tooth movement in Corticision group showed the greatest increase during the ?rst 3 weeks, the movement in LLLT group began to show signi?cant increase at week 5 and catched up the Corticision group at week 8.
OPEN FILEOn the basis of these findings, low-level laser irradiation accelerates the bone remodeling process by stimulating osteoblastic and osteoclastic cell proliferation and function during orthodontic tooth movement.
OPEN FILEIntraoral administration of LLLT signi?cantly increases the ef?ciency of orthodontic treatment during dental alignment. Patients who underwent LLLT during orthodontic treatment required less control visits (7 visits) compared to the control (9.5 visits).
OPEN FILEImprovements in clinical and radiographic parameters were observed following the adjunctive use of low-level diode laser therapy and orthodontic regenerative therapy for the management of intrabony defects in chronic periodontitis patients.
OPEN FILEDespite the limited evidence, LLLT seems to be a promising intervention for stimulating immediate bone regeneration and healing after midpalatal suture expansion.
OPEN FILEThe application of LLLT appears to reduce the pain and sensitivity of the tooth and gingiva associated with orthodontic treatment and may have contralateral effects within the trigeminal system but no generalized QST effects. Thus, the present study indicated a significant analgesia effect of LLLT application during orthodontic treatment. Further clinical applications are suggested.
