Low Intensity laser therapy in patients with burning mouth syndrome: a randomized, placebo-controlled study

Braz. oral res. (Online); 30 (1), 2016
Abstract The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of low intensity laser therapy in patients with Burning Mouth Syndrome (BMS). Thirty BMS subjects were randomized into two groups - Laser (LG) and Placebo (CG). Seven patients dropped out, leaving 13 patients in LG and 10 patients in CG. Each...

Low-intensity laser phototherapy enhances the proliferation of dental pulp stem cells under nutritional deficiency

Braz. oral res. (Online); 30 (1), 2016
Abstract Dental trauma in immature permanent teeth can damage pulp vascularization, which leads to necrosis and cessation of apexogenesis. Studies on tissue engineering using stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHEDs) have yielded promising results. Laser phototherapy (LPT) is able to influ...

Efeitos do laser GaAlAs associado à microcorrentes na cicatrização por segunda intenção

Introdução: A cicatrização de feridas é um processo dinâmico que envolve vários elementos celulares com propósito de restabelecer a funcionalidade do tecido lesado, muitos fatores podem interferir neste processo tornando-o complexo. O laser e a microcorrente são modalidad...

Effect of low-level laser therapy (808 nm) on skeletal muscle after endurance exercise training in rats

BACKGROUND: Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) has been demonstrated to be effective in optimizing skeletal muscle performance in animal experiments and in clinical trials. However, little is known about the effects of LLLT on muscle recovery after endurance training. OBJECTIVE: This study evaluates the effe...

Histomorphometric analysis of the Achilles tendon of Wistar rats treated with laser therapy and eccentric exercise

Pesqui. vet. bras; 35 (supl.1), 2015
Low-level laser therapy is recommended for the treatment of tendinopathies despite the contradictory results related to the ideal dose of energy, wavelength and time of application. This study aimed to assess the effects of laser therapy and eccentric exercise on tendinopathy of the Achilles tendon of Wi...

Diabetes: noções gerais para o Cirurgião-Dentista

Diabetes mellitus é uma enfermidade crônica de origem endocrinológica e que afeta mais de 170 milhões de pessoas no mundo e possui como principal característica a hiperglicemia. Na Odontologia, alguns estudos mostram que os pacientes diabéticos descompensados reportam algumas alterações na cavida...

Measurement of effective remnant power in low intensity laser after passage through the buccinator muscle in anatomical human hemifaces

Objective: To determine the effective remnant power after the passage of low intensity laser of two different wavelengths (660 and 780 nm) through buccinator muscle in anatomical hemifaces. Methods: Five human hemifaces were dissected, and a laser was shone in the central region of the musc...

Low-level laser therapy effects on pain perception related to the use of orthodontic elastomeric separators

INTRODUCTION: Some patients refer to pre-banding orthodontic separation as a painful orthodontic procedure. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) has been reported to have local analgesic effect. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this single-blind study was to investigate the perception of pain caused by orthodontic elasto...

Morphological aspects and Cox-2 expression after exposure to 780-nm laser therapy in injured skeletal muscle: an in vivo study

Background: The effectiveness of low-level laser therapy in muscle regeneration is still not well known. Objective: To investigate the effects of laser irradiation during muscle healing. Method: For this purpose, 63 rats were distributed to 3 groups: non-irradiated control group (CG); group irradiated at...

Comparative study of Low-level laser therapy and microcurrent on the healing of skin burns in rats

Acta sci., Health sci; 36 (1), 2014
This study investigated and compared the effects of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and microcurrent in the burn healing process in Wistar rats. We conducted a randomized controlled study with 30 rats divided into 3 groups (n = 10); control group (CG), laser group (LG) and microcurrent group (MG). After t...
