Abstract
BACKGROUND Orthodontically induced inflammatory root resorption (OIIRR) is one of the most important side effects of orthodontic treatment. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is a useful way to reduce the orthodontic treatment duration and may have some effect on preventing and repairing OIIRR. However, the specific effects of LLLT on OIIRR remain unknown. OBJECTIVE Our research aimed to evaluate the Dentin Sialophosphoprotein (DSPP) expression level and root resorption volume during treatment and retention to explore the role of LLLT in preventing and repairing OIIRR. METHODS Thirty-seven 6-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were selected to establish an OIIRR model; the rats were divided into Group B (blank), Group F (force), Group F(LLLT) (force and LLLT), Group F+R (force and retention) and Group F+R(LLLT) (force, retention and LLLT). The root resorption volume of the distal buccal root and mesial root in the maxillary left first molar was calculated by micro-CT, and the DSPP expression level on the compression side of the periodontal ligament was analysed by immunohistochemical staining. RESULTS The resorption volume in Group F was greater than that in Group F(LLLT). For the mesial root, the volume in Group F was greater than that in Groups F+R and F+R(LLLT). For the distal buccal root, the volume in Groups F and F+R was greater than that in Group F+R(LLLT). The DSPP level in Group F(LLLT) was greater than that in Group F and there was no difference between Groups F+R and F+R(LLLT). CONCLUSIONS LLLT has a certain preventive effect and a limited reparative effect on OIIRR in rats.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hyperglycemic conditions is associated with more severe periodontitis and poorer outcomes after nonsurgical periodontal treatment (NPT). Then, these patients are candidates for adjunctive therapy associated with NPT. This study evaluates the effect of photobiomodulation (PBMT) at different wavelengths on periodontal repair in non-hyperglycemic/hyperglycemic animals. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty-four rats were submitted to induction of periodontitis by ligatures. Hyperglycemia was induced in half of these animals, whereas the other half remained non-hyperglycemic. The animals were subdivided into 4 groups according to the PBMT protocol applied at the time of ligature removal (n = 8): CTR: Without PBMT; IRL: PBMT with infrared laser (808 nm); RL: PBMT with red laser (660 nm); and RL-IRL: PBMT with red (660 nm) and infrared laser (808 nm). After a period of 7 days, the animals were euthanized. The parameters assessed by microtomography were the bone volume relative to total tissue volume (BV/TV%), distance from the cemento-enamel junction to the top of the bone crest (CEJ-CB), trabecular thickness, space between trabeculae, and number of trabeculae. Additionally, the percentage of inflammatory cells, blood vessels, and connective tissue matrix were assessed by histomorphometric analysis. RESULTS PBMT reduced bone loss and increased trabecular density in hyperglycemic animals (p < .05), with RL being more effective in reducing linear bone loss (CEJ-CB), whereas RL-IRL was more effective in maintaining BV/TV%. PBMT reduced blood vessels and increased the connective tissue component in hyperglycemic animals (p < .05). RL-IRL reduced inflammatory cells regardless of the systemic condition of the animal (p < .05). CONCLUSION PBMT (RL, RL-IRL) improves the repair of periodontal tissues in hyperglycemic animals.

Clinical and preclinical evidence on the bioeffects and movement-related implications of photobiomodulation in the orthodontic tooth movement: A systematic review. Orthod Craniofac Res 2024. [PMID: 39096021 DOI: 10.1111/ocr.12841] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2024] [Revised: 06/30/2024] [Accepted: 07/19/2024] [Indexed: 08/04/2024]
Abstract
Photobiomodulation (PBM) has been demonstrated as a non-invasive and painless technique with great potential to accelerate orthodontic tooth movement (OTM). However, there is a great inconsistency among PBM protocols and reported outcomes, probably due to the poor translatability of preclinical knowledge into early clinical practice. Hence, this review aims to fill this gap by establishing the state-of-the-art on both preclinical and clinical applications of PBM, and by comprehensively discussing the most suitable stimulation protocols described in the literature. This review was conducted according to PRISMA guidelines. A bibliographic search was carried out in the PubMed, Scopus and Cochrane databases using a combination of keywords. Only studies written in English were eligible and no time limit was applied. A total of 69 studies were selected for this review. The revised literature describes that PBM can effectively reduce orthodontic treatment time and produce analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects. We found that PBM of 640 ± 25, 830 ± 20 and 960 ± 20 nm, delivered at a minimum energy density per irradiation point of 5 J/cm2 daily or every other day sessions is robustly associated with increased tooth movement rate. Pain relief seems to be achieved with lower irradiation doses compared to those required for OTM acceleration. For the first time, the bioeffects induced by PBM for the acceleration of OTM are comprehensively discussed from a translational point of view. Collectively, the evidence from preclinical and clinical trials supports the use of PBM as a coadjuvant in orthodontics for enhancing tooth movement and managing treatment-associated discomfort. Overall, the revised studies indicate that optimal PBM parameters to stimulate tissue remodelling are wavelengths of 830 ± 20 nm and energy densities of 5-70 J/cm2 applied daily or every other day can maximize the OTM rate, while lower doses (up to 16 J/cm2 per session) delivered in non-consecutive days seem to be optimal for inducing analgesic effects. Future research should focus on optimizing laser parameters and treatment protocols customized for tooth and movement type. By fine-tuning laser parameters, clinicians can potentially reduce treatment times, improve patient comfort and achieve more predictable outcomes, making orthodontic care more efficient and patient-friendly, thus consolidating PBM usage in orthodontics.

Abstract
Malocclusion is one of the three major diseases, the incidence of which could reach 56% of the imperiled oral and systemic health in the world today. Orthodontics is still the primary method to solve the problem. However, it is clear that many orthodontic complications are associated with courses of long-term therapy. Photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy could be used as a popular way to shorten the course of orthodontic treatment by nearly 26% to 40%. In this review, the efficacy in cells and animals, mechanisms, relevant cytokines and signaling, clinical trials and applications, and the future developments of PBM therapy in orthodontics were evaluated to demonstrate its validity. Simultaneously, based on orthodontic mechanisms and present findings, the mechanisms of acceleration of orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) caused by PBM therapy were explored in relation to four aspects, including blood vessels, inflammatory response, collagen and fibers, and mineralized tissues. Also, the cooperative effects and clinical translation of PBM therapy in orthodontics have been explored in a growing numbers of studies. Up to now, PBM therapy has been gaining popularity for its non-invasive nature, easy operation, and painless procedures. However, the validity and exact mechanism of PBM therapy as an adjuvant treatment in orthodontics have not been fully elucidated. Therefore, this review summarizes the efficacy of PBM therapy on the acceleration of OTM comprehensively from various aspects and was designed to provide an evidence-based platform for the research and development of light-related orthodontic tooth movement acceleration devices.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Deviation from a normal bite can be defined as malocclusion. Orthodontic treatment takes 20 months on average to correct malocclusion. Accelerating the rate of tooth movement may help to reduce the duration of orthodontic treatment and associated unwanted effects including orthodontically induced inflammatory root resorption (OIIRR), demineralisation and reduced patient motivation and compliance. Several non-surgical adjuncts have been advocated with the aim of accelerating the rate of orthodontic tooth movement (OTM). OBJECTIVES: To assess the effect of non-surgical adjunctive interventions on the rate of orthodontic tooth movement and the overall duration of treatment. SEARCH METHODS An information specialist searched five bibliographic databases up to 6 September 2022 and used additional search methods to identify published, unpublished and ongoing studies. SELECTION CRITERIA We included randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of people receiving orthodontic treatment using fixed or removable appliances along with non-surgical adjunctive interventions to accelerate tooth movement. We excluded split-mouth studies and studies that involved people who were treated with orthognathic surgery, or who had cleft lip or palate, or other craniofacial syndromes or deformities. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Two review authors were responsible for study selection, risk of bias assessment and data extraction; they carried out these tasks independently. Disagreements were resolved by discussion amongst the review team to reach consensus. MAIN RESULTS: We included 23 studies, none of which were rated as low risk of bias overall. We categorised the included studies as testing light vibrational forces or photobiomodulation, the latter including low level laser therapy and light emitting diode. The studies assessed non-surgical interventions added to fixed or removable orthodontic appliances compared to treatment without the adjunct. A total of 1027 participants (children and adults) were recruited with loss to follow-up ranging from 0% to 27% of the original samples. Certainty of the evidence For all comparisons and outcomes presented below, the certainty of the evidence is low to very low. Light vibrational forces Eleven studies assessed how applying light vibrational forces (LVF) affected orthodontic tooth movement (OTM). There was no evidence of a difference between the intervention and control groups for duration of orthodontic treatment (MD -0.61 months, 95% confidence interval (CI) -2.44 to 1.22; 2 studies, 77 participants); total number of orthodontic appliance adjustment visits (MD -0.32 visits, 95% CI -1.69 to 1.05; 2 studies, 77 participants); orthodontic tooth movement during the early alignment stage (reduction of lower incisor irregularity (LII)) at 4-6 weeks (MD 0.12 mm, 95% CI -1.77 to 2.01; 3 studies, 144 participants), or 10-16 weeks (MD -0.18 mm, 95% CI -1.20 to 0.83; 4 studies, 175 participants); rate of canine distalisation (MD -0.01 mm/month, 95% CI -0.20 to 0.18; 2 studies, 40 participants); or rate of OTM during en masse space closure (MD 0.10 mm per month, 95% CI -0.08 to 0.29; 2 studies, 81 participants). No evidence of a difference was found between LVF and control groups in rate of OTM when using removable orthodontic aligners. Nor did the studies show evidence of a difference between groups for our secondary outcomes, including patient perception of pain, patient-reported need for analgesics at different stages of treatment and harms or side effects. Photobiomodulation Ten studies assessed the effect of applying low level laser therapy (LLLT) on rate of OTM. We found that participants in the LLLT group had a statistically significantly shorter length of time for the teeth to align in the early stages of treatment (MD -50 days, 95% CI -58 to -42; 2 studies, 62 participants) and required fewer appointments (-2.3, 95% CI -2.5 to -2.0; 2 studies, 125 participants). There was no evidence of a difference between the LLLT and control groups in OTM when assessed as percentage reduction in LII in the first month of alignment (1.63%, 95% CI -2.60 to 5.86; 2 studies, 56 participants) or in the second month (percentage reduction MD 3.75%, 95% CI -1.74 to 9.24; 2 studies, 56 participants). However, LLLT resulted in an increase in OTM during the space closure stage in the maxillary arch (MD 0.18 mm/month, 95% CI 0.05 to 0.33; 1 study; 65 participants; very low level of certainty) and the mandibular arch (right side MD 0.16 mm/month, 95% CI 0.12 to 0.19; 1 study; 65 participants). In addition, LLLT resulted in an increased rate of OTM during maxillary canine retraction (MD 0.01 mm/month, 95% CI 0 to 0.02; 1 study, 37 participants). These findings were not clinically significant. The studies showed no evidence of a difference between groups for our secondary outcomes, including OIIRR, periodontal health and patient perception of pain at early stages of treatment. Two studies assessed the influence of applying light-emitting diode (LED) on OTM. Participants in the LED group required a significantly shorter time to align the mandibular arch compared to the control group (MD -24.50 days, 95% CI -42.45 to -6.55, 1 study, 34 participants). There is no evidence that LED application increased the rate of OTM during maxillary canine retraction (MD 0.01 mm/month, 95% CI 0 to 0.02; P = 0.28; 1 study, 39 participants ). In terms of secondary outcomes, one study assessed patient perception of pain and found no evidence of a difference between groups. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS: The evidence from randomised controlled trials concerning the effectiveness of non-surgical interventions to accelerate orthodontic treatment is of low to very low certainty. It suggests that there is no additional benefit of light vibrational forces or photobiomodulation for reducing the duration of orthodontic treatment. Although there may be a limited benefit from photobiomodulation application for accelerating discrete treatment phases, these results have to be interpreted with caution due to their questionable clinical significance. Further well-designed, rigorous RCTs with longer follow-up periods spanning from start to completion of orthodontic treatment are required to determine whether non-surgical interventions may reduce the duration of orthodontic treatment by a clinically significant amount, with minimal adverse effects.

Abstract
This preliminary retrospective study evaluates how effective the OrthoPulse® (Biolux Technology, Austria) is in increasing the predictability of orthodontic treatment in patients treated with Invisalign® clear aligners (Align Technology Inc., Tempe, AZ, USA). A group of 376 patients were treated with Invisalign® orthodontic clear aligners in association with an OrthoPulse®. The OrthoPulse® was prescribed for 10 min a day for the entire duration of the orthodontic treatment. The OrthoPulse® App remotely tracked the percentage compliance of each patient. The number of aligners planned with the ClinCheck software at the beginning of the treatment and the number of total aligners (including the adjunctive aligners) used to finish the treatment were then considered. After applying inclusion/exclusion criteria, a total of 40 patients remained in the study and were compared with a control group of 40 patients with the same characteristics as the study group. A statistical analysis was carried out to investigate whether using OrthoPulse® led to a statistical reduction in the number of adjunctive aligners, thus leading to a more accurate prediction of the treatment. The statistical analysis showed that patients who used OrthoPulse® needed fewer finishing aligners and a greater predictability of the treatment was obtained. In fact, in the treated group the average number of additional aligners represented 66.5% of the initial aligners, whereas in the control group 103.4% of the initially planned aligners were needed. In conclusion, in patients treated with clear aligners, OrthoPulse® would appear to increase the predictability of orthodontic treatment with clear aligners, thus reducing the number of finishing phase requirements.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the effects of photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) at distinct energy levels on peri-implant bone healing in extra-short implants in a experimental rabbit model. Background: The effect of PBMT on peri-implant bone healing in short implants remains unclear. This explored the effect of PBMT on extra-short implants in terms of bone-implant contact (BIC) length and rate, and implant stability quotient (ISQ). Methods: Fifteen white New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into five groups. In all groups, extra-short implants (3.5 × 4 mm; Nucleoss T6, İzmir/Turkey) were placed in both tibias of the rabbits. PBMT was performed in four groups (group 1, 5 J/cm2; group 2, 10 J/cm2; group 3, 20 J/cm2; and group 4, 25 J/cm2); no PBMT was performed in the control group. On the 30th day, the rabbits were sacrificed and peri-implant tissue samples were obtained to determine the BIC length and BIC rate. Implant stability levels were measured by resonance frequency analysis using the Osstell penguin device and were determined as ISQ values on the 1st and 30th days of the study. Results: PBMT significantly increased the BIC length and BIC rate in groups 3 and 4 (p < 0.001). For the ISQ values, there were significant differences between the 1st and 30th day (p < 0.001). On the 30th day, the ISQ values were significantly higher in groups 3 and 4 compared with the remaining groups (p < 0.001). Conclusions: In this study, PBMT improved peri-implant bone healing through increase in BIC length, BIC rate, and ISQ parameter values in extra-short implants.

Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to quantify the changes obtained when the molar intrusion movement is complemented by photobiomodulation (PBM). Background: A common problem in adult patients is the super-eruption of maxillary molars caused by the loss of the antagonist tooth. Super-erupted molars impair oral rehabilitation and can cause both occlusal and functional problems. There is increasing research confirming the benefits of adjunctive PBM during orthodontic treatment. Methods: Twenty patients with indication of a maxillary first molar intrusion for oral rehabilitation were selected. Patients were randomized into two groups to receive orthodontic intrusion (control group) or the same treatment complemented by PBM (PBM group) in repeated doses (days 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 7 from the start of the intrusion and in each monthly follow-up) by using a low-power red laser diode (670 nm, 150 mW, 12 min around the molar). Plaque index (PI), probing depth (PD), and bleeding of probing (BOP) were assessed at 0, 1, 2, 3, and 6 months. Stereolithography models generated from an intraoral scanner were taken at 0, 3, and 6 months and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) records were taken at 0 and 6 months. Mean intrusion distance, mean intrusion velocity, and volumetric resorption were calculated. Results: Periodontal clinical assessments (PI, PD, and BOP) and mean intrusion distance or mean intrusion velocity yielded no differences (p > 0.05) between groups. However, PBM group showed lower values of all these scores during the first 3 months. Intraoral scanner and CBCT were equally effective in accurately monitoring the intrusion distance (p > 0.05). CBCT records allowed volumetric evaluation of the root resorption process, being lesser in the PBM group, but not significantly (p > 0.05). Conclusions: During orthodontic intrusion process, the adjunctive application of PBM may provide better periodontal records and lower progression of root resorption at the expense of a little lower intrusion distance and velocity.

Abstract
Objective: This meta-analysis evaluated the effectiveness of photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) on accelerating orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) in clinical practice. Methods: Data from bilingual journals across seven different databases were compiled and analyzed. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and quasi-RCTs regarding the effect of PBMT on OTM in cases with four first premolar extractions in split-mouth design were selected. This study was conducted after approval from the IRB. The outcome variables were the cumulative tooth movement distances in 1, 2, and 3 months. Data extraction was performed by two authors independently and in duplicate. Risk of bias was assessed. Results: Eight RCTs and one quasi-RCT were ultimately included and analyzed in meta-analysis. This study revealed that the pooled mean difference (MD) among these trials was 0.30 [95% confidence interval (CI): -0.02 to 0.62], 0.69 (95% CI: 0.08 to 1.29), and 0.64 (95% CI: -0.01 to 1.29) for 1, 2, and 3 months, respectively. The results remained consistent after sensitivity analysis assessment. Conclusions: There is insufficient evidence to support that photobiomodulation accelerates tooth movement in orthodontic treatments. Our results suggest that the optimal parameters of PBMT on OTM in human might be about 20 mW, 5-8 J/cm2, 0.5 W/cm2, 0.2 J/point, and 2-10 J/tooth. More large-sample multicenter clinical trials carried out in similar settings are required to confirm and pinpoint treatment efficiency and optimal parameters. Registration: The review protocol was not registered prior to the study.

Abstract
Although orthodontic treatment is common, orthodontic force often induced pain. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) has been investigated to improve therapeutic comfort. In dentistry, LLLT is mainly applied using two types of lasers, CO2 and diode lasers, whose biological actions are thought to be associated with wavelength (CO2: 10,600 nm; diode: 808 nm). The analgesic effect of LLLT on orthodontic treatment-related pain is widely reported but inconsistent. This study aimed to (1) determine whether irradiation with a CO2 or diode laser attenuates orthodontic treatment-related pain using the jaw-opening reflex model, (2) elucidate the optimal irradiation protocol for both lasers to obtain the maximal analgesic effect, (3) evaluate the effects of laser irradiation on other biological features [e.g., tooth movement, glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) expression, and temperature alterations] and (4) investigate the mechanism underlying the analgesic effect of laser irradiation. In this animal model, orthodontic treatment-induced pain manifested as a significantly reduced the threshold for inducing the jaw-opening reflex on the orthodontically treated side compared with the contralateral side. GFAP expression in the bilateral trigeminal ganglia (TGs) was significantly increased by the application of orthodontic force. CO2 laser irradiation of the orthodontically treated region significantly increased the threshold for inducing the jaw-opening reflex and the peripheral temperature. Similar reductions in jaw-opening reflex excitability were induced by surface anesthesia and thermal stimulation but not, the diode laser. Neither CO2 nor diode laser irradiation altered GFAP expression in the TGs. Infiltration anesthesia also significantly increased the threshold for inducing the jaw-opening reflex on each anesthetized side. Irradiation (30 s) by either laser immediately after orthodontic force application (preirradiation) significantly decreased jaw-opening reflex excitability and GFAP expression in the bilateral TGs the next day. However, thermal stimulation immediately after orthodontic force application failed to alter jaw-opening reflex excitability the next day. Laser irradiation did not alter tooth movement; however, an optimized irradiation protocol for aiding tooth movement is suggested. In conclusion, both CO2 and diode lasers are able to prevent orthodontic treatment-related pain. Furthermore, the involvement of temperature alterations and surface anesthesia in the analgesic effect induced by CO2 laser irradiation is suggested.

Abstract
Objective: The aim of this article is to examine current concepts and the future direction of implementing photobiomodulation (PBM) for fracture treatment. Background data: The effectiveness of PBM for bone regeneration has been demonstrated throughout in vitro studies and animal models. Yet, insufficient clinical trials have been reported on treating fractures with PBM. Materials and methods: A narrative review was composed on the basis of a literary search. Inclusion criteria consisted of studies between 2000 and 2019 using animal or human fracture models. Exclusion criteria consisted of studies that did not pertain to complete fractures or used other forms of intervention. Results: Ten animal studies on rats and rabbits and four clinical trials were found on using PBM for complete fractures. Conclusions: Based on positive outcomes in animal trials, parameter optimization of PBM for human fractures still requires extensive research on factors such as dosage, wavelength, penetration depth, treatment frequency, and the use of pulsed waves.

Abstract
Objective The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of MOP over a 3-month period and to determine the influence of the number of perforations on the rate of canine retraction. In addition, the amount of pain and discomfort caused by the MOP method was evaluated. Trial design A single-center, split-mouth, triple-blind, randomized, controlled trial was conducted. Methods The clinical trial was conducted from December 2018 to July 2019 in the Orthodontic Clinic, Shiraz Dental School. Twenty-eight patients (range from16.3 to 35.2 years) who need fixed orthodontic treatment were recruited and randomly assigned to MOP1 and MOP2 groups. In each patient one side of the mouth worked as a control side which received no MOPs. Four months after first premolars extraction, patients in MOP1 group received 3 MOPs on the buccal surface of alveolar bone in the experimental side to accelerate canine retraction whereas patients in MOP2 group received 3 buccal MOPs and 3 palatal MOPs in the experimental side. The amount of canine retraction was measured every 28 days at three intervals on both sides of the mouth. Pain perception was also measured on the day of MOP procedure and subsequently at 24 h. Randomization was performed using online software RANDOM.ORG; the recruited patients were divided into two parallel groups with a 1:1 allocation ratio then the side of MOPs intervention in each subject was randomly determined with coin tossing. Triple blinding design was employed. Results The result of the intra-examiner reliability using ICC was 0.97 (P < 0.001), indicating excellent repeatability and reliability of the measurements. The baseline characteristics between the groups were similar (P > 0.05). There was a significant difference in the rate of canine retraction between the MOP groups and the contralateral control sides, as well as between the MOP1 and MOP2 groups (P < 0.05). Conclusion The MOP procedure was effective in accelerating orthodontic tooth movement, although the amount of acceleration was not clinically significant in the case of canine retraction. An increase in the number of MOPs resulted in a significant acceleration of the canine retraction. Trial registration The trial was registered 30 November 2018 at the Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials (IRCT20181121041713N1).
