Background: Low-level lasers are used for various medical applications including wound healing and hair loss treatment. Cell Therapy using skin stem cells could be a novel approach to hair transplantation. However, there is no study on the effect of low-level laser on the hair follicle stem cells. So, in this study, we investigated the effect of low level laser irradiation on viability and ROS ...

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)...

introduction: temporomandibular disorders (tmd) lead to masticatory muscle pain, jaw movement disability and limitation in mouth opening. pain is the chief complaint in 90% of the tmd patients which leads to disability and severe socioeconomic costs. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the therapeutic effects of low level laser therapy (lllt) compared to pharmacotherapy with nsaids (napro...

objectives: the purpose of this experimental study was to evaluate the efficacy of low level laser therapy (lllt) for pain reduction after midpalatal expansion in rats.   materials and methods: sixty male sprague six-week old rats weighing 180±10g were divided into seven groups (two experimental groups of 24 rats and one control group of 12 rats). the experimental groups were subjected to expan...

background: numerous in vitro reports suggest that low level laser therapy (lllt) affects cellular processes by biostimulation, however most of them emphasize on using visible light lasers which have low penetration. the aim of this study was to determine the effect of infrared laser light (which is more useful in clinic because of its higher penetration) on secretion of fibroblast growth facto...

introduction: to determine efficacy of low level laser therapy for clicking temporomandibular joint (tmj) with a diode laser following orthodontic treatment. methods:  performance of lllt with a diode laser for temporomandibular clicking and postoperative findings were evaluated in a case of an orthodontic patient following the termination of treatment. patient had a history of severe clicking ...

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...

introduction: tinnitus is defined as a perception of sound without an external acoustic stimulus. due to large number of causes and limited knowledge of its pathophysiology, tinnitus still remains an obscure symptom. methods: this was a cross-sectional study on 120 patients with tinnitus and sensorineural hearing loss who were randomly divided into two groups; one group received low-level laser...

A quantum theory of a two and three-level laser with injected atomic coherence is developed by using a density operator method, to the best of our knowledge, for the first time. The initial atomic coherence plays an essential role. At steady state, the equation of motion for the density operator yields to exhibit laser without inversion and a phase locking but no threshold for the laser fie...
