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...

BACKGROUND Recently alternative therapies such as the use of diode laser therapy have been introduced for recurrent herpes labial infection. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of diode laser for treatment of recurrent herpes labialis. MATERIAL AND METHODS This was single-blind randomized clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy of diode laser for the treatment of recurrent...

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...

OBJECTIVE Muscle injuries are common, and their treatment requires costs and time off. Platelet rich plasma and low level laser therapy have been shown to be affordable and easy to use. The aim of this study was to evaluate the associated effects of low level laser therapy and platelet rich plasma on the treatment of the soleus muscle injured by strain in rats. METHODS Thirty-five rats were r...

background and objective: genital warts, due to specific types of the human papillomavirus, have long been regarded as one of the most important causes of cervical cancer and one of the most common cause of sexually transmited diseases (stds).  over the years, it has been the focus of several studies in order to find the best effective approach to eradicate the virus, however there are still co...

the modulation response, relative intensity noise and frequency noise characteristics of qd lasers are investigated theoretically, in presence of an additional optical pumping. it is revealed that the modulation response of qd laser enhances under additional optical beam. by small signal analysis of the carriers' and photons' rates, it is proposed that by injecting excess carriers to ...

Low level laser therapies (LLLT) have analgesic, vasodilatory and anti-inflammatory effects. The present study investigated the effects of LLLT with a diode laser (808 nm) device on the healing of the rat tibial fracture. Forty eight, 8-week-old, male Sprague-Dawley rats were used for this study. After creating the tibial fracture model, the animals were randomly divided into laser and control ...

o bjectives: one major drawback of orthodontic treatment is its long duration due to slow tooth movement and the pain at the onset of treatment following application of forces. there is controversy regarding the efficacy of laser for decreasing the treatment time and pain of orthodontic treatment. the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of low level diode laser on the rate of or...

introduction: tooth pain and sensitization are the two main causes of discomfort after periodontal flap surgery. effects of low level laser therapy for reducing pain have already been established; these kinds of lasers have been used for tooth desensitization as well. this controlled blind study sought to compare tooth pain and sensitization after 660nm laser irradiation in a split mouth and al...
