Low-Level Laser therapy (LLLT) was employed for the treatment of three patients diagnosed with recurrent aphthous ulcers (RAU’s). The presented in region floor mouth and buccal mucosa. RAU’s were provided a wavelength of946nm starting use at 320µm fibre optic distance 1-3 mm, peak power 2W, frequency 10 Hz no tissue contact circular motion from outside to inside 2 cycles 100% duty 30s 3 consecu...

INTRODUCTION Low level laser therapy (LLLT) also known as photobiomodulation, is a treatment that uses low-level lasers or light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to change cellular function and is a clinically well accepted tool in regenerative medicine and dentistry. Considering the variety of laser, exposure, cells and study types, the exact effects of low level laser therapy seems to be unclear. The a...

Prolonged local anaesthesia in soft perioral tissues may sometimes lead to accidental lip biting small children forming a traumatic ulcer. Healing of such ulcers has been reported enhance with treatment using low level laser therapy (LLLT). This case report describe two cases due bite following inferior alveolar nerve block caused during post period that were treated by LLLT. It resulted better...

Introduction: Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) - recognized as the most common chronic orofacial pain condition significantly impacts individuals’ quality of life and social coexistence. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze effects low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on functional improvements in temporomandibular joints (TMJ). Method: The research was carried out at Universidade Federal do Piauí...

OBJECTIVE Pain caused by orthodontic treatment can affect patient's compliance and even force them to terminate treatments. The aim of this meta-analysis is to evaluate of the analgesic effect of low level laser therapy (LLLT) after placement of the orthodontic separators. METHODS Five databases: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane library, China Biology Medicine disc (SinoMed CBM), China National Knowl...

Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an immune-mediated acquired bleeding disorder characterized by abnormally low platelet counts. We reported here the ability of low-level light treatment (LLLT) to alleviate ITP in mice. The treatment is based on noninvasive whole body illumination 30 min a day for a few consecutive days by near infrared light (830 nm) transmitted by an array of light-emitting di...

Pre-conditioning by ischemia, hyperthermia, hypothermia, hyperbaric oxygen (and numerous other modalities) is a rapidly growing area of investigation that is used in pathological conditions where tissue damage may be expected. The damage caused by surgery, heart attack, or stroke can be mitigated by pre-treating the local or distant tissue with low levels of a stress-inducing stimulus, that can...

One purported use of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is to promote healing in damaged cells. The effects of LLLT on hearing loss and tinnitus have received some study, but results have been equivocal. The purpose of this study was to determine if LLLT improved hearing, speech understanding, and/or cochlear function in adults with hearing loss. Using a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled...

INTRODUCTION Knee osteoarthritis (KO) is the most common joint disease for which there is no optimal treatment. Monochromatic infrared photo energy (MIPE) is a relatively new light modality used to reduce pain and increase circulation. Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is another light modality used to reduce pain in KO. METHODS The aim of this study was to compare the effects of the MIPE and LL...

Pain is the most common reason for physician consultation in the United States. One out of three Americans is affected by chronic pain annually. The number one reason for missed work or school days is musculoskeletal pain. Currently accepted therapies consist of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, steroid injections, opiate pain medications and surgery, each of which carries their own specif...
