objective: low-level laser therapy (lllt) has been increasingly in use over the last few decades in both medicine and dentistry. it has been suggested that lllt may be helpful in pulpal wound healing following pulp exposure. the purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of lllt and formocresol (fc) application in healing of remaining pulp following pulp amputation in primary molars...

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: the american academy of orofacial pain defined temporomandibular disorders (tmds) as”a collective term that embraces a number of clinical problems that involve the masticatory muscles, the tmj (temporomandibular joint), and the associated structures”. pain and dysfunctional symptoms or signs such as limitations in opening, asymmetric jaw movements and tmj sounds are the most commo...

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...

background postoperative pain is a common complication that can lead to serious morbidities and delayed recovery. objectives the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of low-level laser therapy on acute pain after tibial fracture surgery. patients and methods in this randomized clinical trial, 54 patients who were candidate for tibial fracture surgery were allocated randomly to two gr...

the key role of chemokine receptor cxcr4 in the maintenance of stemness property of stem cells has been shown recently. the low level laser irradiation (llli) is being used currently in a wide variety of clinical cases as a therapeutic tool for wound healing, relieving pain and destroying tumor cells. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of llli mimicking low level laser therapy (ll...

introduction : surgical removal of third molar is one of the most common surgical procedures in oral surgery and is often associated with complications such as pain, swelling and trismus. the main purpose of the study was to assess  the  therapeutic  effect  of  low  level  laser  (lll)  irradiation  on postoperative edema and wound healing compared to routine postoperative management after thi...

BACKGROUND Ultrasound with frequencies in the kilohertz range has been demonstrated to promote biological effects and has been suggested as a non-invasive tool for tissue healing and repair. However, many challenges exist to characterize and develop kilohertz ultrasound for therapy. In particular there is a limited evidence-based guidance and standard procedure in the literature concerning the ...

Background: Initial studies have shown that low-energy ultrasound stimulates living tissue cells to reduce regeneration or speed up their recovery. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of various ultrasound parameters on the speed of recovery in injured sciatic nerves. Methods: NMRI mice (n = 200) with injured left paw, caused by crushing their sciatic nerves, were randomly sel...

Segmentation remains a necessary step in medical imaging to obtain qualitative measurements such as the location of objects of interest as well as for quantitative measurements such as area, volume or the analysis of dynamic behavior of anatomical structures over time. Image segmentation is one of the earliest and most important stages of image processing and plays an important role in analysis...
