Le JRM, Wu JH, Jaw FS, Su CT. The effect of bone remodeling with photobiomodulation in dentistry: a review study. Lasers Med Sci 2023; 38:265. [PMID: 37973668 DOI: 10.1007/s10103-023-03933-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2023] [Accepted: 11/08/2023] [Indexed: 11/19/2023]
Abstract
Photobiomodulation (PBM) has been emerging as a promising alternative therapy in dentistry. However, various parameters of PBM are used in different studies, and there is limited cumulative data on PBM for improving bone formation in clinical trials. The aim of this review was to evaluate the effectiveness of PBM in the process of bone remodeling in dentistry using randomized controlled trials. Initially, a total of 1,011 articles published from January 2008 to December 2021 were retrieved from five electronic databases (PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, and CINAHL). After a two-step review, nine articles met the inclusion criteria. The parameter of PBM, group, treatment sessions, assessment times and outcomes of the included studies were reviewed. Eighty-nine percent of the studies revealed positive effects on bone formation between the laser group and the control group. Only one article reported that light-emitting diode did not significantly enhance osteogenesis. Additionally, the present study shows that Gallium aluminum arsenide of near infrared (NIR) laser with continuous mode is the most commonly used form of PBM. The biostimulatory effects are dependent on several parameters, with wavelength and dose being more important than others. Based on this review, it is suggested that the NIR range and an appropriate dose of PBM could be used to increase the efficiency of stimulating bone healing and remodeling. However, standardization of treatment protocols is needed to clarify therapeutic strategies in dentistry.

Abstract
Objective: This investigation aimed to compare the efficacy of circumferential supracrestal fiberotomy (CSF) with surgical scalpel, laser CSF, and photobiomodulation for reduction of relapse after orthodontic tooth rotation. Background: Relapse is the tendency of teeth to move back to their preoperative position after removal of orthodontic appliances. Materials and methods: This randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted on 90 rotated teeth at the final stages of fixed orthodontic treatment. The teeth were randomly divided into six groups (n = 15) of (1) control (no intervention), (2) photobiomodulation alone (wavelength of 940 nm, 0.2 W, and 4 J/cm2), (3) conventional CSF, (4) laser CSF (wavelength of 940 nm, 1.5 W, and 4 J/cm2, and power density of 160 mW/cm2), (5) conventional CSF plus photobiomodulation, and (6) laser CSF plus photobiomodulation. Measurements were made on clinical photographs and dental casts using the AutoCAD software. Level of pain of patients was measured within the first 24 h after fiberotomy using a visual analog scale. Data were analyzed by ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis test (α = 0.05). Results: The magnitude (p = 0.014) and percentage (p = 0.035) of relapse were significantly different among the six groups, and they were the highest in the control group followed by photobiomodulation alone, laser CSF, conventional CSF, conventional CSF plus photobiomodulation, and finally, laser CSF plus photobiomodulation. Moreover, photobiomodulation plus laser CSF and photobiomodulation plus conventional CSF had significantly different results from the other groups. The six groups had no significant difference in sulcus depth changes, gingival recession (difference in primary and secondary crown height), or pain score (p > 0.05). Conclusions: This study suggests that utilizing photobiomodulation combined with laser CSF or conventional CSF can be effective in reducing relapse. However, further clinical trials are required to support this idea. Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials (IRCT20210621051653N1).

The effectiveness of adjuncts or alternatives to the use of orthodontic retainers in preserving posttreatment outcomes: A systematic review. Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop 2023; 163:9-21.e3. [PMID: 36335023 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajodo.2022.08.022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2022] [Revised: 08/01/2022] [Accepted: 08/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The objective of this study was to systematically evaluate the efficacy of adjuncts or alternatives to mechanical retention in preserving postorthodontic treatment outcomes. METHODS Electronic databases, unpublished literature, and ongoing trials were searched until July 22, 2022 (PROSPERO CRD42021291165). Randomized and nonrandomized controlled trials investigating the efficacy of adjuncts and alternatives to conventional orthodontic retainers were included. Stability, periodontal effects, cost-effectiveness, and patient-reported outcomes were to be evaluated. The Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool and Risk of Bias In Nonrandomized Studies of Interventions (ROBINS-I) were used for risk of bias assessment. The certainty of the evidence was appraised using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation system. Exploratory sensitivity analysis was undertaken to calculate the weighted treatment effects of the intervention. RESULTS A total of 5128 records were screened. Seven trials fulfilled the inclusion criteria, of which 5 were randomized controlled trials. Five trials were judged to be at high risk of bias, with 2 studies of unclear risk of bias. Heterogeneity between the limited number of included studies precluded the conduct of meta-analysis. Circumferential supracrestal fibrotomy resulted in less increase in the mandibular Little's Irregularity Index (mean difference, -2.30 mm; 95% confidence interval, -2.86 to -1.74). The overall level of evidence was of very low quality. CONCLUSIONS Adjuncts and alternatives to mechanical retention have promise, but based on the existing evidence, the reliance on mechanical retention cannot be reduced. There is weak evidence supporting circumferential supracrestal fibrotomy to improve stability outcomes. Further high-quality prospective research focusing on the predictability and acceptability of these approaches is needed.

Photobiostimulatory Effect of a Single Dose of Low-Level Laser on Orthodontic Tooth Movement and Pain. Pain Res Manag 2021; 2021:6690542. [PMID: 34055122 PMCID: PMC8131143 DOI: 10.1155/2021/6690542] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2020] [Accepted: 05/03/2021] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Objective To assess the effect of low-level laser applied at 3 weeks intervals on orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) and pain using conventional brackets (CB). Materials and Methods Twenty patients with Angle's class II div 1 (10 males and 10 females; aged 20.25 ± 3.88 years) needing bilateral extractions of maxillary first bicuspids were recruited. Conventional brackets MBT of 0.022 in slot (McLaughlin Bennett Trevisi) prescription braces (Ortho Organizers, Carlsbad, Calif) were bonded. After alignment and levelling phase, cuspid retraction began with nitinol closed coil spring on 19 × 25 stainless steel archwire, wielding 150 gram force. 7.5 J/cm2 energy was applied on 10 points (5 buccal and 5 palatal) on the canine roots on the investigational side using gallium-aluminum-arsenic diode laser (940 nm wavelength, iLase™ Biolase, Irvine, USA) in a continuous mode. Target tissues were irradiated once in three weeks for 9 weeks at a stretch (T0, T1, and T2). Patients were given a feedback form based on the numeric rating scale (NRS) to record the pain intensity for a week. Silicon impressions preceded the coil activation at each visit (T0, T1, T2, and T3), and the casts obtained were scanned with the Planmeca CAD/CAM™ (Helsinki, Finland) scanner. Results The regimen effectively accelerated (1.55 ± 0.25 mm) tooth movement with a significant reduction in distress on the investigational side as compared to the placebo side (94 ± 0.25 mm) (p < 0.05). Conclusions This study reveals that the thrice-weekly LLLT application can accelerate OTM and reduce the associated pain.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Quality bone regeneration, which leads to the improvement of bone remodeling, is essential for orthodontic treatment. In order to improve bone regeneration and increase the amount of tooth movement, different techniques have been implemented. The object of this study is to compare the effects of low-level laser therapy (LLLT), low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS), and their combination on bone remodeling during orthodontic tooth movement. METHODS Eighty (80) male, 6-week-old Sprague Dawley rats were grouped in to four groups, the first group was irradiated with (940 nm) diode laser, second group with LIPUS, and third group with combination of both LLLT and LIPUS. A forth group used was a control group in an incomplete block split-mouth design. The LLLT and LIPUS were used to treat the area around the moving tooth once a day on days 0-7, then the experiment was ended in each experimental endpoint (1, 3, 7, 14, and 21 days). For amount of tooth movement, models were imaged and analyzed. Histological examination was performed after staining with (hematoxylin and eosin) and (alizarin red and Alcian Blue) stain. One step reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction RT-PCR was also performed to elucidate the gene expression of RANK, RANKL, OPG, and RUNX-2. RESULTS The amount of tooth movement, the histological bone remodeling, and the RT-PCR were significantly greater in the treatment groups than that in the control group. Among the treatment groups, the combination group was the highest and the LIPUS group was the lowest. CONCLUSION These findings suggest that LLLT and LIPUS can enhance the velocity of tooth movement and improve the quality of bone remodeling during orthodontic tooth movement.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of low-level laser irradiation applied at 3-week intervals on orthodontic tooth movement and pain associated with orthodontic tooth movement using self-ligating brackets. METHODS Twenty-two patients (11 male, 11 female; mean age, 19.8 ± 3.1 years) with Angle Class II Division 1 malocclusion were recruited for this split-mouth clinical trial; they required extraction of maxillary first premolars bilaterally. After leveling and alignment with self-ligating brackets (SmartClip SL3; 3M Unitek, St Paul, Minn), a 150-g force was applied to retract the canines bilaterally using 6-mm nickel-titanium closed-coil springs on 0.019 x 0.025-in stainless steel archwires. A gallium-aluminum-arsenic diode laser (iLas; Biolase, Irvine, Calif) with a wavelength of 940 nm in a continuous mode (energy density, 7.5 J/cm2/point; diameter of optical fiber tip, 0.04 cm2) was applied at 5 points buccally and palatally around the canine roots on the experimental side; the other side was designated as the placebo. Laser irradiation was applied at baseline and then repeated after 3 weeks for 2 more consecutive follow-up visits. Questionnaires based on the numeric rating scale were given to the patients to record their pain intensity for 1 week. Impressions were made at each visit before the application of irradiation at baseline and the 3 visits. Models were scanned with a CAD/CAM scanner (Planmeca, Helsinki, Finland). RESULTS Canine retraction was significantly greater (1.60 ± 0.38 mm) on the experimental side compared with the placebo side (0.79 ± 0.35 mm) (P <0.05). Pain was significantly less on the experimental side only on the first day after application of LLLI and at the second visit (1.4 ± 0.82 and 1.4 ± 0.64) compared with the placebo sides (2.2 ± 0.41 and 2.4 ± 1.53). CONCLUSIONS Low-level laser irradiation applied at 3-week intervals can accelerate orthodontic tooth movement and reduce the pain associated with it.

Efficacy of low-level laser therapy in accelerating tooth movement, preventing relapse and managing acute pain during orthodontic treatment in humans: a systematic review. BMC Oral Health 2016; 17:11. [PMID: 27431504 PMCID: PMC4948087 DOI: 10.1186/s12903-016-0242-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 39] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2016] [Accepted: 06/29/2016] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently low-level laser therapy (LLLT) has been proposed to improve orthodontic treatment. The aims of this systematic review were to investigate the scientific evidence to support applications of LLLT: (a) to accelerate tooth movement, (b) to prevent orthodontic relapse and (c) to modulate acute pain, during treatment with fixed appliances in children and young adults. METHODS To ensure a systematic literature approach, this systematic review was conducted to Goodman's four step model. Three databases were searched (Medline, Cochrane Controlled Clinical Trials Register and Scitation), using predetermined search terms. The quality of evidence was rated according to the GRADE system. RESULTS The search identified 244 articles, 16 of which fulfilled the inclusion criteria: three on acceleration of tooth movement by LLLT and 13 on LLLT modulation of acute pain. No study on LLLT for prevention of relapse was identified. The selected studies reported promising results for LLLT; elevated acceleration of tooth movement and lower pain scores, than controls. With respect to method, there were wide variations in type of laser techniques. CONCLUSIONS The quality of evidence supporting LLLT to accelerate orthodontic tooth movement is very low and low with respect to modulate acute pain. No studies met the inclusion criteria for evaluating LLLT to limit relapse. The results highlight the need for high quality research, with consistency in study design, to determine whether LLLT can enhance fixed appliance treatment in children and young adults.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate various noninvasive and minimally invasive procedures for the enhancement of orthodontic tooth movement in animals. MATERIALS AND METHODS Literature was searched using NCBI (PubMed, PubMed Central, and PubMed Health), MedPilot (Medline, Catalogue ZB MED, Catalogue Medicine Health, and Excerpta Medica Database (EMBASE)), and Google Scholar from January 2009 till 31 December 2014. We included original articles related to noninvasive and minimally invasive procedures to enhance orthodontic tooth movement in animals. Extraction of data and quality assessments were carried out by two observers independently. RESULTS The total number of hits was 9195 out of which just 11 fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Nine articles were good and 5 articles were moderate in quality. Low level laser therapy (LLLT) was among the most common noninvasive techniques whereas flapless corticision using various instruments was among the commonest minimally invasive procedures to enhance velocity of tooth movement. CONCLUSIONS LLLT, low intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS), mechanical vibration, and flapless corticision are emerging noninvasive and minimally invasive techniques which need further researches to establish protocols to use them clinically with conviction.

Abstract
SUMMARY OBJECTIVES This study evaluated the effect of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on the tendency of rat molars to relapse following orthodontic tooth movement (OTM). MATERIAL AND METHODS Maxillary rat molars were moved mesially for 10 days. Animals were randomly assigned to group I (non-irradiated) or II (irradiation with LLLT). Appliances were removed, and the molars allowed to relapse for 1, 3, 5, 7, 14, or 21 days; rats in group II received LLLT according to a protocol. Bone density of periapical alveolar bone was measured using radiographs and Digora software. Dental supporting structures were examined histologically with haematoxylin and eosin and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase. RESULTS In both groups, first molar relapse was rapid 1 day after the end of active treatment; by 21 days percentage relapse was measured as 86.11 per cent in group I, and 72.22 per cent in group II. Osteoclast number was highest at the end of active OTM, and thereafter successively decreased during the relapse phase in both groups. Decrease in number, and redistribution of osteoclasts occurred more rapidly in the non-irradiated than the LLLT group. Whilst molar relapse was generally less and osteoclast numbers generally higher in group II compared to group I, the differences were not significant. There was no significant difference in bone density between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS These results indicate that LLLT may reduce the relapse tendency, possibly due in part to bone formation in previous tension areas, and to redistribution of osteoclasts following removal of orthodontic force. The role of LLLT in the prevention of orthodontic relapse requires further study.
