Effect of low-level laser therapy (GaAlAs) on bone regeneration in midpalatal anterior suture after surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion

Abstract

Low-level laser irradiation (GaAlAs) accelerates bone regeneration in MPAS after SARME. However, the optical density measurements after 7 months of follow-up were lower in comparison with the preoperative measurements.

New Trends in Dental Biomechanics with Photonics Technologies

“…Lasers have numerous tissue interactions, such as ablation or vaporization of dental hard tissue [78][79][80][81], hemostasis [82], microbial inhibition and destruction, as well as biological effects, such as biostimulation (photo-bio-modulation), which induce various beneficial therapeutic effects and biological responses, like in bone regeneration in the midpalatal anterior suture [83,84]. In a similar study, it was evaluated the histologic effects of CO2 laser irradiation, during gingival surgery and the histologic effects on cortical bone following irradiation with increasing energy densities [85].…”

Düşük Enerji Seviyeli Lazer Uygulamasının Hızlı Üst Çene Genişletmesi Sonrası Midpalatal Suturada Kemik Rejenerasyonu Üzerine Etkisi

“…Kızılötesi ya da kızılötesine yakın spektrumda (600nm-1000nm) uygulanan LLLT; fotokimyasal, fotoelektrik ve fotoenerjitik reaksiyonlarla indüklenen hücresel fotobiyomodülasyon ve terapötik cevapları desteklemektedir (8).…”

Low Level Light Therapy (LLLT): Penetration and Photobiomodulation

“…for tooth movement [8] and palatal expansion [9,10], tooth extraction [11,12], dental implants [13], Temporomandibular jaw disorders [14] and other oral surgeries [15], have recorded parameters like wavelength, power and energy dosage etc., without detailed explaining their choices. Most of the above mentioned studies did not mention which layer or depth is their target tissue.…”
