Purpose: To determine if biostimulation using a 810 nm diode laser was capable of affecting the rate of extraction space closure during orthodontic treatment. Materials and methods:Forty dental arches of patients above 17 years of age requiring bilateral first premolar extractions were exposed to a 810 nm diode laser with a power density of 3.97 W/cm 2 at 3 weeks intervals for total duration of 12 weeks during the space closure phase under direct anchorage using miniscrews. Space closure measurements were taken using digital calipers and the unpaired t-test was used to compare the differences between the experimental and control sides. Results:The rate of orthodontic tooth movement was greater on the experimental side and the difference between the two sides was statistically significant (p < 0.001). Conclusion:Biostimulation carried out using a 810 nm diode laser is capable of increasing the rate of extraction space closure in humans. Hence, it can be concluded that it is capable of increasing the rate of orthodontic tooth movement.

“…Some suggested that the effect of LLLT on neuronal and inflammatory cells is responsible for pain relief. 14 Although the positive effect of LLLT on pain reduction during fixed orthodontic therapy has been demonstrated in some studies, 3,13 Lim et al 15 found no significant difference in pain following application of LLLT. Systematic reviews on randomized controlled trials (RCTs) could determine the level of evidence for use of interventions in human.…”

Introduction:To systematically review high-quality randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and meta-analysis on the effectiveness of use of ibuprofen and low-level laser therapy (LLLT) for pain control during fixed orthodontic appliance therapy. Materials and methods:A web-based systematic search of PubMed and Medline database using relevant keywords was performed in August 2016 limited to the English language studies. Based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, RCTs utilizing blind approach were selected. The quality of studies was analyzed and only high-quality studies were included. Following data extraction, meta-analysis was performed by standardized mean difference Hedges' (adjusted) g with 95% confidence interval.Results: A total number of six studies (four ibuprofen and two LLLT) comprising 315 patients were included. Heterogeneity among ibuprofen studies was small, while large heterogeneity was found among LLLT studies. The results showed that both ibuprofen and LLLT could reduce pain intensity during fixed orthodontic therapy and during 17 days follow-up period. However, this reduction was statistically significant only at 6 to 24 hours postoperatively for ibuprofen and 2 hours and 3 to 7 days for LLLT (p < 0.05). Conclusion:Considering the limitations of the current metaanalysis, ibuprofen could alleviate orthodontic archwire activation pain during the 1st day with relatively high level of evidence.
