Adjunctive photobiomodulation to Basic Periodontal therapy using different low-power laser application techniques: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Lasers Med Sci 2024; 39:207. [PMID: 39093490 DOI: 10.1007/s10103-024-04148-2] [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: 12/12/2023] [Accepted: 07/11/2024] [Indexed: 08/04/2024]
Abstract
To review current literature and synthesize clinical outcomes related to different low-level laser techniques as a complement to basic periodontal therapy (BPT). Electronic searches were conducted in PubMed, Cochrane, and Scopus, and clinical trials published from January 2013 to August 2023 using photobiomodulation as a complement to basic periodontal therapy, with a clear description of the laser technique, were included. The risk of bias was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Assessment Checklist. Estimates of interest were calculated using random effects meta-analyses. A total of 947 references were retrieved, and 22 studies were included for qualitative synthesis. Ten studies used intrasulcular laser techniques, with 89% using infrared wavelength, and 12 studies used transgingival techniques, with 61.5% using red wavelength. The frequency of photobiomodulation after BPT ranged from 1 to 9 sessions, with follow-up periods ranging from 5 days to 12 months. Risk of bias was considered low in 16 studies and moderate in six studies. Meta-analysis of 13 studies showed that BPT reduced probing depth at 4-, 12- and 24-weeks post-treatment, and improved clinical level attachment at 6-, 12- and 24-weeks post-treatment. Studies suggest that photobiomodulation may be a valuable complement in the treatment of periodontitis, especially using transgingival application technique.

Karas M, Gunpinar S. The use of low level laser therapy in conjunction with diode laser-assisted and conventional vestibuloplasty: Comparison of wound healing and vestibular depth gain. JOURNAL OF STOMATOLOGY, ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY 2023; 124:101476. [PMID: 37086896 DOI: 10.1016/j.jormas.2023.101476] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2023] [Revised: 04/09/2023] [Accepted: 04/17/2023] [Indexed: 04/24/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study is to compare wound healing and vestibular depth gain in individuals undergoing vestibule deepening surgery using diode laser and conventional technique and to further investigate the possible wound healing effect of low-level laser therapy (LLLT). MATERIAL AND METHODS 52 systemically healthy individuals with insufficient vestibular depth in the region of teeth 33-43 in the lower jaw were included. Following nonsurgical periodontal treatment, patients were divided into four groups as follows: a) diode laser (L); b) diode laser + LLLT; c) conventional surgery and d) conventional surgery + LLLT. Vestibular depth and horizontal wound size measurements of the individuals were recorded using digital calipers. Reepithelization was evaluated via an image analysis program. RESULTS Vestibular depth measurements were found to be higher in the conventional surgery groups compared to that of diode laser groups after the operation, while the results were not statistically different between groups (p >0.05). Reepithelization area did not differ between groups in the evaluated time periods (p >0,05). On the other hand, horizontal wound shrinkage was significantly higher in the conventional surgery group than that of diode laser. CONCLUSIONS Within the limits of this study, both methods yielded in vestibule depth gain. On the other hand, LLLT did not have an additional positive effect on mucosal wound healing. As a clinical relevance, the results are valuable for clinicians in terms of showing that suturing of the mucosal flap formed following vestibule deepening should not be necessary in laser assisted surgery for attaining more vestibule depth.

Abstract
Objective: The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the safety of 810 and 1064 nm laser treatment on dental implants. Background: Peri-implantitis is a challenge for clinicians and researchers. Methods: A pig mandible model was used to evaluate temperature increases during laser irradiation. Surface alterations on processed pure titanium discs were analyzed via scanning electron microscopy and measurement of surface contact angles. Processed titanium discs were cocultured in vitro with human gingival fibroblasts; subsequently, cell proliferation was measured. Results: The maximum temperature and time to reach each threshold were comparable. No surface alterations were detected after 810 nm laser irradiation, whereas surface cracks were observed after 1064 nm laser irradiation under the parameter setting of 31.84 W/cm2. Compared with unaltered processed pure titanium discs, the proliferation of human gingival fibroblasts was significantly greater on altered processed pure titanium discs. Conclusions: The use of either 810 or 1064 nm laser treatments may increase the risk of thermal damage in terms of increased temperature if the parameter setting is not warranted. In addition, the use of 1064 nm laser treatment could lead to changes in pure titanium discs that do not negatively affect cell proliferation. Further investigations of laser-assisted therapy are necessary to improve guidelines concerning the treatment of peri-implantitis. Clinical trial registration number: 2021-P2-098-01.

Abstract
Aim: Wound healing is a complex phenomenon with various biological changes in tissue integrity, low-level laser therapy (LLLT) has acquired several unique components to help into accelerating tissue reconstruction and eventually wound healing. Thus, in the present systematic review and meta-analysis study, the role of LLLT in oral mucosal wound healing following surgical interventions was investigated.
Methods: The study databases, including PubMed, Web of Knowledge, Google Scholar, Scopus, and Cochrane, were searched by two blinded investigators considering eligible studies based on the following keywords: “Wound Healing”, “Oral Mucosal Wound Healing”, “Laser therapy”, “Low-level laser therapy”, “Oral Surgery”, “Photobiomodulation therapy”, among 88 screened, only 12 articles were eligible for the final analysis.
Results: There was a significant difference between control and laser group in all mentioned studies in the case of wound epithelialization in gingiva, with weighted mean difference (MD) of –0.28, [95% confidence interval (CI): –0.37, –0.19, P < 0.001], periodontium 1 day postoperative, with weighted MD of –0.56 (95% CI: –0.84, –0.27, P < 0.001) and 7 days postoperative, with weighted MD of –0.73 (95% CI: –0.97, –0.49, P < 0.001). In the cases of postoperative pain, LLLT has significantly declined pain in comparison with control group with weighted MD of –0.47 (95% CI: –0.69, –0.24, P < 0.001) for 7 days postoperative and –0.55 (95% CI: –0.96, –0.13, P = 0.005) 14 days postoperatively.
Conclusions: LLLT can be used as a promising tool in oral surgeries because of its inevitable capability in accelerating wound healing and reducing intraoperative pain.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Laser treatment has been recently introduced in many fields of implant dentistry. The systematic review tried to address the question: "How does laser modification of titanium surface influence fibroblast adhesion?". METHODS An electronic search of the PubMed and Scopus databases was performed. The following keywords were used: (laser) AND (fibroblast) AND (titanium) AND (implant OR disc) AND (proliferation OR adhesion). Initially, 136 studies were found. Ten studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in the review. All studies chosen to be included in the review were considered to have a low risk of bias. RESULTS Studies included in the review varied with laser parameters or ways of observing fibroblast behavior. Studies showed that fibroblasts tend to take different shapes and create extensions on modified surfaces and that their metabolic activity is more intense. One study concentrated on laser application and showed that three-directional laser application is the most successful in terms of fibroblast adhesion. Studies which concentrated more on laser parameters showed that too low energy density (lower or equal to 0.75 J/cm2) does not influence fibroblast adhesion. Increasing the energy density over 0.75 J/cm2 causes better cell adhesion of fibroblasts to the laser-modified sample. One included study focused on increasing titanium surface wettability, which also positively influenced cell adhesion. CONCLUSION The studies included in the review proved a positive effect of laser-modified titanium surfaces on fibroblast adhesion. However, the application of an appropriate laser energy dose is crucial.

Abstract
This study is focused on comparing the effect of various energy densities and wavelengths of diode lasers on the proliferation of human gingival fibroblast (HGF) cells in vitro. In this study, 204 sample cells were examined in 4 test groups (laser radiation) and 1 control group (non-laser radiation). The proliferation rate of radiated cells with wavelengths of 635, 660, 808 and 980 nm and the densities of 1, 1.5, 2.5 and 4 J cm-2 was measured after 1, 3 and 5 days using the MTT assay. The proliferation rate of human gingival fibroblast (HGF) cells in test groups was increased on day 1 at wavelengths of 635, 808 and 980 nm and on day 3 at the wavelength of 980 nm compared with the control group. Our findings denoted that the photobiomodulation therapy increased the proliferation rate of HGF. The most desirable laser radiation setting, which led to the highest proliferation rate of the cells, included 980 nm wavelength with 1, 1.5 and 4 J cm-2 energy densities and 635 nm wavelength with 4 J cm-2 energy density.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether low-level laser therapy improves healing of the implant surgical site with clinical and biochemical parameters. Thirty patients with an edentulous space spanning a single tooth were selected. The patients were randomly allocated to 1 of 2 groups: control group and test group. The test group received laser energy at a power of 2 J/cm2 with a total of 4-6 J energy over each implant. Clinical parameters (implant stability quotient, probing index, modified sulcus bleeding index) and osteoprotegerin were assessed at baseline and follow-up intervals (2 weeks, 6 weeks, and 3 months). The test group showed significantly higher implant stability quotient than the control group at 2 weeks (57.93 ± 3.95 vs 35.67 ± 3.08; P < . 01) and 3 months (58.86 ± 3.75 vs 67.06 ± 3.78; P < . 01). A significant rise in osteoprotegerin levels of the test group (686.30 ± 125.36 pg/mL at baseline and 784.25 ± 108.30 pg/mL at 3 months; P < . 01) was seen contrary to significant decline in the control group (839.50 ± 249.08 pg/mL at baseline vs 415.30 ± 78.39 pg/mL at 3 months; P < . 01). Within the limitations of the study, the findings suggest that the healing of peri-implant hard and soft tissues may be enhanced with the use of low-level laser therapy as an explicit modality during the postoperative period.

Abstract
Background: One of the procedures enhancing implants stability can be photobiomodulation. Objective: To assess the effect of a 635 nm wavelength on orthodontic microscrews stability, survival rate, and an individual patient's pain score. Materials and methods: The study was done with 15 subjects, 30 orthodontic microscrews with a length of 10 mm and diameter 1.4 mm. Implants inserted on the right and left side of the maxilla. The implants in the test group (G1) were irradiated with the laser at palatal and buccal part of peri-implant area (two points). The diode laser (SmartM PRO; Lasotronix, Warsaw, Poland) was used with the following settings: power: 100 mW, spot size: 0.5 cm2, mean power density (irradiance): 200 mW/cm2, in continuous wave (CW) mode, energy per point: 4 J, radiant exposure: 8 J/cm2, time per point: 40 sec, the total energy dose (radiant energy) per session: 8 J in contact mode, handpiece diameter: 8 mm. Laser sessions: day of surgery and 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 30 days later. Cumulative radiant energy was 59 J. Periotest appliance was used to assess the microscrews stability at day of surgery and 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 30, 60 days later. Each patient received a survey for individual pain assessment (NRS-11) promptly after the implantation. Results: The analysis after 60 days revealed significantly higher secondary stability for the laser-irradiated microscrews group in comparison with control implants (G2 group) (p = 0.0037). We observed significantly higher stability in the experimental group compared with the control after 30 days (p = 0.0218). Moreover, we noted significantly higher microimplants stability for the control group in comparison with the test group, 9 days after implantation (p = 0.0374). Laser application had no effect on pain reduction noted in the first day in comparison with the control sites (p = 0.6690). No microscrews were lost in the study. Conclusions: Application of a 635 nm laser on peri-implant soft tissue increased the microscrews stability after 30 and 60 days.

The effect of low-level laser therapy as an adjunct to periodontal surgery in the management of postoperative pain and wound healing: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Lasers Med Sci 2020; 36:175-187.

Abstract
The meta-analysis and systematic review aimed to evaluate the effect of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) as an adjunct to periodontal surgery in the management of postoperative pain and wound healing. An electronic search in 4 databases (PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, and OpenGrey) was conducted for randomized clinical trials reporting the effectiveness of LLLT used as an adjunct to periodontal surgery to alleviate pain and accelerate wound healing compared with surgery alone. Finally, 13 studies were eligible and included. The results showed a significant difference of pain relief between groups at day 3 post-surgery, whereas no difference was found at day 7. Moreover, a significant reduction was observed in the mean analgesic intake during the first week in the LLLT group. On day 14, the adjunctive use of LLLT showed significantly faster re-epithelialization and better wound healing in palatal donor sites following free gingival graft procedures. Based on the results, LLLT used as an adjunct to periodontal surgery positively influenced postsurgical pain control. Low power (≤ 500 mW) combined with energy density ≥ 5 J/cm2 might be more appropriate for postoperative pain relief. Moreover, adjunctive LLLT to free gingival grafts could significantly accelerate wound healing of palate sites at early healing phase. Multicenter studies using different LLL parameters without postsurgical analgesics are needed to determine optimal laser settings.

Abstract
Photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy is used to stimulate cell proliferation and metabolism, as well as reduce inflammatory cytokine synthesis, which plays a main role in the long-term stability of implants. This study assessed the response of gingival fibroblasts cultured on titanium (Ti) and zirconia (ZrO2), submitted to PBM and exposed to lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Cells seeded on Ti and ZrO2 were irradiated (InGaAsP; 780 nm, 25 mW) 3 times, using 0.5, 1.5, and 3.0 J/cm2 doses, and exposed to Escherichia coli LPS (1 μg/mL). After 24 h, cell viability (alamarBlue, n = 8), interleukin 6 (IL-6) and 8 (IL-8) synthesis (ELISA, n = 6), and IL-6 and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene expression (qPCR, n = 5) were assessed and statistically analyzed (one-way ANOVA, α = 0.05). Cell morphology was evaluated by fluorescence microscopy. Increased cell viability occurred in all groups cultured on Ti compared with that of the control, except for cells exposed to LPS. Fibroblasts cultured on ZrO2 and LPS-exposed exhibited reduced viability. PBM at 3.0 J/cm2 and 1.5 J/cm2 downregulated the IL-6 synthesis by fibroblasts seeded on Ti and ZrO2, as well as IL-8 synthesis by cells seeded on ZrO2. Fibroblasts seeded on both surfaces and LPS-exposed showed increased IL-6 gene expression; however, this activity was downregulated when fibroblasts were irradiated at 3.0 J/cm2. Enhanced VEGF gene expression by cells seeded on Ti and laser-irradiated (3.0 J/cm2). Distinct patterns of cytoskeleton occurred in laser-irradiated cells exposed to LPS.

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to explore the possibilities for the application of laser therapy in medicine and dentistry by analyzing lasers' underlying mechanism of action on different cells, with a special focus on stem cells and mechanisms of repair. The interest in the application of laser therapy in medicine and dentistry has remarkably increased in the last decade. There are different types of lasers available and their usage is well defined by different parameters, such as: wavelength, energy density, power output, and duration of radiation. Laser irradiation can induce a photobiomodulatory (PBM) effect on cells and tissues, contributing to a directed modulation of cell behaviors, enhancing the processes of tissue repair. Photobiomodulation (PBM), also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT), can induce cell proliferation and enhance stem cell differentiation. Laser therapy is a non-invasive method that contributes to pain relief and reduces inflammation, parallel to the enhanced healing and tissue repair processes. The application of these properties was employed and observed in the treatment of various diseases and conditions, such as diabetes, brain injury, spinal cord damage, dermatological conditions, oral irritation, and in different areas of dentistry.

MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2020; 13:E2265. [PMID: 32423127 PMCID: PMC7287787 DOI: 10.3390/ma13102265] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2020] [Revised: 05/03/2020] [Accepted: 05/11/2020] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND To evaluate the effect of photobiomodulation (PBM) on orthodontic micro-implants (n = 44; 14 women, 8 men). METHODS PBM with 808 nm diode laser was applied immediately, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, and 30 days post the implantation. Results were assessed within same time frames and additionally after 60 days to check for implants stability using the Periotest device. Patients pain experiences following the first day post-treatment and potential loss of micro-implants after 60 days were recorded. The procedure involved insertion of mini-implants in the maxilla for the laser group (L, n = 22) and negative control group (C, n = 22). Irradiation was carried buccally and palatally with respect to the maxillary ridge (2 points). The energy per point was 4 J (8 J/cm2), total dose was 56 J. RESULTS Patients did not report significant differences in terms of pain experiences comparing the L and C groups (p = 0.499). At 30 days post-treatment, higher secondary stability of implants was observed in the laser group (Periotest Test Value, PTV 6.32 ± 3.62), in contrast to the controls (PTV 11.34 ± 5.76) (p = 0.004). At 60 days post-treatment, significantly higher stability was recorded in the laser group (PTV 6.55 ± 4.66) compared with the controls, PTV (10.95 ± 4.77) (p = 0.009). Conclusions: Application of the 808 nm diode laser increased secondary micro-implant stability.

Zayed SM, Hakim AAA. Clinical Efficacy of Photobiomodulation on Dental Implant Osseointegration: A Systematic Review. SAUDI JOURNAL OF MEDICINE & MEDICAL SCIENCES 2020; 8:80-86. [PMID: 32587488 PMCID: PMC7305678 DOI: 10.4103/sjmms.sjmms_410_19] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2019] [Revised: 10/20/2019] [Accepted: 02/04/2020] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
Background: Photobiomodulation (PBM) has been shown to have a positive effect on dental implant osseointegration and stability in in vitro and animal studies; however, its usefulness in dental implant clinical practice is yet unclear. Objective: The objective was to assess the clinical effectiveness of PBM on dental implants’ osseointegration. Methods: Two reviewers independently conducted a comprehensive electronic search of articles published from inception up to January 10, 2020, in PubMed, Cochrane Library and Embase databases following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Randomized clinical trials (RCTs) and nonrandomized clinical studies that compared the effect of PBM on dental implant stability with control groups were included. Animals and in vitro studies studies as well as studies with confounders such as application of orthodontic were excluded. Risk of bias (using Cochrane Risk of Bias tool for RCTs and Risk of Bias in Non-Randomized Studies of Interventions tool for nonrandomized studies) was assessed by both authors. Owing to substantial heterogeneity, only a narrative synthesis of the included studies is presented. Results: Seven relevant clinical studies were included, and they used a variety of PBM parameters and devices. The posterior region of the jaw was found to be more frequently evaluated. For assessing the effect of PBM on implant stability, five studies used resonance frequency analysis and two used periotest; three studies additionally used biomarkers for assessment. Four studies found that PBM has a potential positive effect on the outcome of dental implant stability, whereas three studies reported that PBM has no effect on implant stability. Conclusion: The findings of this systematic review suggest that postoperative application of PBM may potentially have some positive effect on dental implant’s osseointegration and stability. However, additional studies are required with uniformity in methods to provide a more robust assessment of this effect.

Abstract
(Part 1 of this article can be located at www.liebertpub.com/doi/10.1089/photob.2019.4710.) Objective: Finding evidence-based treatment strategies for low-level light therapy and the correct incorporation of these treatment methods in the clinical practice of periodontics. Background: Photobiomodulation has been shown to have biostimulatory, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic effects that can be beneficial in periodontal and dental implant treatment procedures. Methods: In this review, we have addressed some clinical questions regarding the potential clinical application of low-level light irradiation and its photobobiomodulatory effects in periodontology and implantology. The literature was searched for in vivo (animal or clinical) articles written in English in four electronic databases of PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Library until April 2019. Only studies with low irradiation doses without any thermal effects used only for their photobiomodulatory purposes were included. Results: We were able to find relevant studies for all of our questions, and positive effects for the application of light therapy were reported in most of the studies. However, there is still a great deal of heterogeneity in terms of study designs and most importantly in light irradiation devices and the parameters used. Due to this issue, it was not possible to reach specific evidence-based irradiation protocols for the questions addressed in this review. Conclusions: Based on our search results, an obvious positive effect of low-level light therapy on stimulation of healing of periodontal soft and hard tissues and reduction of inflammation can be seen. Future well-designed randomized control studies with the same irradiation settings and systematic reviews evaluating the studies found on the questions mentioned are necessary to reach evidence-based recommendations.

Abstract
Background Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT), a type of light therapy that uses the concept of photobiomodulation, is developed to promote bone healing. Clinical studies have been conducted to assess the influence of PBMT on dental implant stability and success rate. This is the first systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the effect of PBMT and methodological quality of these studies on implants in human clinical trials. Methods An electronic search was performed in Pubmed, Embase, and the Cochrane Controlled Register of Trials (CENTRAL). Results Initially, 675 articles were identified, among which only 8 met the inclusion criteria. Four of the 8 studies presented a low risk of bias, whereas the other 4 were of moderate risk. Our review focused on implant success rates and implant stability measured at days 0 and 10, and at 3, 4, 6, and 12 weeks. No significant differences were observed between the PBMT group and the control group regarding implant stability or success rate. Conclusions The existing clinical studies did not provide sufficient evidence to observe positive effects of PBMT on implants in patients. An increased number of high-quality clinical randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are required to verify the data and to draw convincing conclusions.

Abstract
In this study, we evaluated the effects of ultraviolet (UV) treatment and alendronate (ALN) immersion on the proliferation and differentiation of MG-63 osteoblast-like cells and human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) cultured on titanium surfaces. MG-63 cells were used for sandblasted, large grit, and acid-etched (SLA) titanium surfaces, and HGFs were used for machined (MA) titanium surfaces. SLA and MA specimens were subdivided into four groups (n = 12) according to the combination of surface treatments (UV treatment and/or ALN immersion) applied. After culturing MG-63 cells and HGFs on titanium discs, cellular morphology, proliferation, and differentiation were evaluated. The results revealed that UV treatment of titanium surfaces did not alter the proliferation of MG-63 cells; however, HGF differentiation and adhesion were increased in response to UV treatment. In contrast, ALN immersion of titanium discs reduced MG-63 cell proliferation and changed HGFs into a more atrophic form. Simultaneous application of UV treatment and ALN immersion induced greater differentiation of MG-63 cells. Within the limitations of this cellular level study, simultaneous application of UV treatment and ALN immersion of titanium surfaces was shown to improve the osseointegration of titanium implants; in addition, UV treatment may be used to enhance mucosal sealing of titanium abutments.

Abstract
Background Lasers have become a part of modern dentistry since the past three decades. A wide-ranging assortment of lasers is being used in periodontology for both soft and hard tissue surgical procedures. Regardless of the frequent practice of using these well-known surgical lasers, there is another lesser familiar class of lasers called the low-level lasers. The main doctrine behind using low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is centered on the biostimulation, or the biomodulation effect, which relies on the dexterity of low-intensity laser energy when irradiated at a specific wavelength, is able to modify cellular activities (increase in cell metabolism and fibroblast and keratinocyte proliferation). Aim The aim of the present study was to investigate the adjunctive use of LLLT on gingival healing after gingivectomy procedures. Materials and Methods Ten systemically healthy patients requiring gingivectomy or gingivoplasty procedures bilaterally in either the maxillary or mandibular teeth were included in the study. After surgical intervention, a diode laser (810 nm) was randomly activated to one side of the operated area while other side did not receive any treatment and served as the control. The healing index given by Landry et al. was used to evaluate the soft tissue healing immediately postsurgery and at the 3rd day, 1 week, and 2 weeks postoperatively. After the follow-up period, results were analyzed using appropriate statistical tests. Results There was no statistically significant difference observed in the surface epithelialization between both groups on the 3rd and 7th-postoperative days, but highly significant differences were observed on the 14th day. Conclusion Within the confines of this pilot study, the outcomes have indicated that gingival wound healing may be improved using LLLT after gingivectomy and gingivoplasty operations.

Abstract
Background: Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is based on the principle of biostimulation or biomodulation effect. LLLT after gingivectomy has resulted in better wound healing because of its action on collagen synthesis, angiogenesis, and growth factor release. Aim: The aim of this split-mouth controlled clinical trial was to assess the effect of LLLT, using diode laser (InGaAsP), on wound healing and patients' response after scalpel gingivectomy. Materials and Methods: Forty patients with gingival enlargement in the maxillary and mandibular anterior region (bilaterally symmetrical) were included in the study. After gingivectomy, a diode laser (InGaAsP) was randomly applied to one side of the surgical area on the 1st, 3rd, and 7th day postoperatively. The surgical areas were disclosed by a solution (Alpha Plac®) to visualize the areas where the epithelium was absent. Comparison of the surface areas on the LLLT-applied sites and controls was made clinically by visualizing the stained area by two examiners. Results: LLLT-applied sites had significantly lower stained areas signifying improved wound healing compared with the controls on the postoperative 7th and 30th day. Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, the results indicated that LLLT might improve wound healing after gingivectomy.

Abstract
PURPOSE In this study, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of implant surface treatment on cell differentiation of osteoblast cells. For this purpose, three surfaces were compared: (1) a modified SLA (MSLA: sand-blasted with large grit, acid-etched, and immersed in 0.9% NaCl), (2) a laser treatment (LT: laser treatment) titanium surface and (3) a laser and acid-treated (LAT: laser treatment, acid-etched) titanium surface. MATERIALS AND METHODS The MSLA surfaces were considered as the control group, and LT and LAT surfaces as test groups. Alkaline phosphatase expression (ALP) was used to quantify osteoblastic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cell. Surface roughness was evaluated by a contact profilometer (URFPAK-SV; Mitutoyo, Kawasaki, Japan) and characterized by two parameters: mean roughness (Ra) and maximum peak-to-valley height (Rt). RESULTS Scanning electron microscope revealed that MSLA (control group) surface was not as rough as LT, LAT surface (test groups). Alkaline phosphatase expression, the measure of osteoblastic differentiation, and total ALP expression by surface-adherent cells were found to be highest at 21 days for all three surfaces tested (P<.05). Furthermore, ALP expression levels of MSLA and LAT surfaces were significantly higher than expression levels of LT surface-adherent cells at 7, 14, and 21 days, respectively (P<.05). However, ALP expression levels between MSLA and LAT surface were equal at 7, 14, and 21 days (P>.05). CONCLUSION This study suggested that MSLA and LAT surfaces exhibited more favorable environment for osteoblast differentiation when compared with LT surface, the results that are important for implant surface modification studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To evaluate the treatment of gingival recession with a connective tissue graft (CTG) alone or in combination with low-level laser therapy (CTG + L). METHODS Forty patients presenting 40 Miller Class I and II gingival recessions were included. The defects were randomly assigned to receive either CTG (n = 20) or CTG + L (n = 20). A diode laser (660 nm) was applied to the test sites immediately after surgery and every other day for 7 days (eight applications). RESULTS The mean percentage of root coverage was 91.9% for the test group and 89.48% for the control group after 6 months (p > 0.05). The test group presented more complete root coverage (n = 13, 65%) than the control group (n = 7, 35%) (p = 0.04). Dentine sensitivity decreased significantly after 6 months in both groups (p < 0.001). The two groups showed improvement in aesthetics at the end of treatment. CONCLUSIONS Low-level laser therapy may increase the percentage of complete root coverage when associated with CTG.

Abstract
The use of dental implants has become a mainstay of rehabilitative and restorative dentistry. With an impressive clinical success rate, there remain a few minor clinical issues with the use of implants such as peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis. The use of laser technology with implants has a fascinating breadth of applications, beginning from their precision manufacturing to clinical uses for surgical site preparation, reducing pain and inflammation, and promoting osseointegration and tissue regeneration. This latter aspect is the focus of this review, which outlines various studies of implants and laser therapy in animal models. The use of low level light therapy or photobiomodulation has demonstrated its efficacy in these studies. Besides more research studies to understand its molecular mechanisms, significant efforts are needed to standardize the clinical dosing and delivery protocols for laser therapy to ensure the maximal efficacy and safety of this potent clinical tool for photobiomodulation.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study was undertaken to compare wound healing following incisions with either a scalpel, CO(2) laser or Er,Cr:YSGG laser in Guinea pig oral mucosa. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three types of wounds were randomly introduced with either a stainless steel scalpel, CO(2) laser or Er,Cr:YSGG laser in the buccal mucosa of each of 22 Guinea pigs. Four Guinea pigs were sacrificed on day 1, day 3 and day 5 post-surgery. Five Guinea pigs were sacrificed on day 7 and day 14 post-surgery. Biopsy samples from each oral mucosa wound were examined and the expression of TNF-α and TGF-ß1 was determined by immunohistochemical staining. RESULTS At day 3 post-surgery, the histological pattern of the healing process was similar in the scalpel and Er,Cr:YSGG laser wounds and there were more ulcerations present in the CO(2) laser wounds than in the scalpel and Er,Cr:YSGG laser wounds. The level of TNF-α expression was twice in the laser wounds that in the scalpel wounds. A higher level of TGF-β1 expression was seen at day 7 post-surgery and a lower level at day 14 post-surgery in the CO(2) laser wounds than in the scalpel and Er,Cr:YSGG laser wounds. CONCLUSIONS The Er,Cr:YSGG laser has many advantages for oral surgery due to a low inflammatory response and minimal damage of the tissue. Although a CO(2) laser has better hemostatic ability, its use causes greater tissue damage than a scalpel and Er,Cr:YSGG laser. However, further larger studies would be needed before fully endorsing its widespread use.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to assess stability of different orthodontic mini-implants in the tibia of rabbits after low-intensity laser therapy. MATERIAL AND METHODS Thirty-two mini-implants were assessed, 16 were self-threading (Titanium Fix) and 16 self-perforating (INP). These were inserted into the tibia of rabbits and immediately loaded with a horizontal force of 200g uniting 2 mini-implants in each tibia. Then they were submitted to low-intensity laser therapy for 21 days. Sixteen male New Zealand breed rabbits were used, and divided into 2 groups of 8 animals each as follows: Groups INP and TF. In both groups, mini-implants were submitted to low-intensity laser therapy (right tibia) and their respective controls (left tibia) did not undergo laser therapy. After the animals were killed, blocks of bone tissue containing the mini-implants were removed so as to perform mechanical pull-out tests. RESULTS There was a statistically significant difference only between Group TF submitted to laser and all the other groups (P < .05). CONCLUSIONS Low-intensity laser was capable of increasing stability of self-threading orthodontic mini-implants.

Abstract
This study evaluated the application of laser-induced bone therapy (LIBT) to reduce implant healing time in rat tibia. Twenty 10-week-old female Sprague-Dawlay rats were used. The rats received laser irradiation (laser group) or sham operation (control group) on either side of the tibia. Five days after invasion, titanium implants were inserted in proximal tibia. Five, 10, and 20 days after implant placement, tibiae were collected. After taking micro-CT and performing a torque test, the tibiae were decalcified and 8-μm-thick sections were prepared. Specimens were stained with hematoxylin and eosin. Results. Micro-CT images, removal torque values, and histomorphometric analysis data demonstrated a significantly accelerated bone formation in the laser group earlier in the healing process. Conclusion. The use of laser irradiation was effective in promoting bone formation and acquiring osseointegration of titanium implants inserted in rat tibia. LIBT may be suitable for use in implant therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mucous membrane pemphigoid is a heterogeneous group of autoimmune, subepithelial, blistering diseases. A combination of topical and systemic steroid treatment is often used when managing patients with mucous membrane pemphigoid. The use of systemic steroids presents an increased risk of adverse side effects. Consequently, effective alternative modalities of therapy should be considered, such as the application of low-level laser therapy (LLLT). METHODS A patient presented with mucous membrane pemphigoid and was successfully treated with the application of local corticosteroids and LLLT using an 810-nm diode laser. The lesions were treated by LLLT over a period of 7 days using a continuous waveform for 40 seconds and an energy density of 5 J/cm(2). RESULTS After treatment, a significant improvement in tissue color and consistency was observed. The patient was followed every month for a period of 12 months, and the lesions healed uneventfully. CONCLUSION The results reported in this case show that the healing of mucous membrane pemphigoid was achieved when LLLT was used as an adjunct to the application of a local corticosteroid.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to analyze the possible morphological alterations of the surface implants after using 980-nm diode laser irradiation (InGalAsP) at various energies. BACKGROUND DATA Laser-based protocols have been proposed for decontaminating dental implant surfaces when treating peri-implantitis, although few studies have addressed this topic directly. METHODS Five smooth surface implants (TiOblast ST, Astra Tech AB, Mölndal, Sweden) were irradiated with 980-nm diode laser, and one implant that was not lased served as the control. The surface of each implant was treated for 60 sec on implant neck to apical threads. The experiment consisted of exposing the dental titanium implants to diode laser irradiation. Then the surfaces were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). RESULTS SEM analysis demonstrated any damage or alteration of titanium surfaces. Regardless of the power setting, there was no visible difference between lased and non-lased titanium surfaces after irradiation with the 980-nm diode laser. CONCLUSION The results of this study suggest that the InGalAsP diode laser (980 nm) does not damage titanium surfaces, and seems to be safe and useful of treating peri-implantitis, irrespective of power output.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES This experiment using an animal experimental model was conducted in order to investigate the effect of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on the healing of the dental titanium implant. STUDY DESIGN/MATERIALS AND METHODS The experimental group received LLLT for a week and the control group did not. Each group consisted of 10 rats. Two rats from the groups were euthenized on the days 1, 3, 7, 14, and 21 of the experiment. The expression of receptor activator of nuclear factor kB ligand (RANKL), osteoprotegerin (OPG), and receptor activator of nuclear factor kB (RANK) were investigated. RESULTS The expression of RANKL was observed from the initial stage of the installation of the implant for both the experimental and control groups. However, the degree of expression was higher in the experimental group. The degree of expression of OPG increased remarkably in the experimental group, while in the control group the degree of expression increased only slightly. In the experimental group, the expression of RANK was observed from the first day, but in the control group, it was weakly observed after day 3. The overall expression within the bone was slight on day 7 in the control group, while an active expression was observed in the experimental group. Bone density after installation of dental titanium implant during osseointegration in the experimental group was higher than the control group. The surface and structure of the titanium implant was not damaged by low-level laser (LLL). CONCLUSIONS From the above results, the expression of OPG, RANKL, and RANK during the osseointegration of the dental titanium implant was observed within bone tissue. The application of the LLL influenced the expression of OPG, RANKL, and RANK, and resulted in the expansion of metabolic bone activity and increased the activity of bone tissue cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Forming cartilage tissue in vitro that resembles native tissue is one of the challenges of cartilage tissue engineering. The aim of this study was to determine whether low-power laser stimulation would improve the formation of cartilage tissue in vitro. STUDY DESIGN/MATERIALS AND METHODS Bovine articular chondrocytes were seeded on the top surface of porous calcium polyphosphate substrates. After 2 days, laser stimulation was applied daily at a wavelength of 650 nm using a laser diode with energy densities of either 1.75 or 3 J/cm(2) for 4 weeks. Proteoglycan and collagen synthesis and matrix content were determined. Cartilage tissue morphology was evaluated histologically. RESULTS Histologically, there was no difference in the appearance or cellularity of the tissues that formed in the presence or absence of laser stimulation at either dosage. There were no differences in DNA content between treated and untreated constructs and live-dead assay confirmed that this treatment was not toxic to the cells. Laser stimulation at 3 J/cm(2) enhanced matrix synthesis resulting in significantly more tissue formation than laser stimulation at 1.75 J/cm(2) or untreated cultures. CONCLUSION Short exposures to low-power laser stimulation using a laser diode with 3 J/cm(2) dose improves cartilage tissue formation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES This preliminary laboratory-based study looks at the paracrine release from human skin cells subject to sublethal Q-switched Nd:YAG 532 nm laser irradiation. STUDY DESIGN/MATERIALS AND METHODS Human dermal fibroblast and keratinocyte cultures were exposed to sublethal energy using the Nd:YAG 532 nm laser. Altered gene expression was then screened using RT-PCR for a range of paracrine factors known to affect melanogenesis, basic fibroblast growth factor (b-FGF), hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), stem cell factor (SCF), melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH), endothelin-1 (ET-1), interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and protease-activated receptor-2 (PAR-2). Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to confirm protein production. Conditioned medium was used to assess altered melanogenesis in a melanoma cell line. RESULTS Fibroblasts exposed to sublethal radiation showed upregulation of b-FGF, HGF and SCF. This contrasts with keratinocytes which showed upregulation of IL-6. Elevated protein levels of b-FGF and SCF were confirmed by ELISA assay. Conditioned fibroblast medium was shown to stimulate melanogenesis in a melanoma cell line. CONCLUSIONS This preliminary laboratory study reports, for the first time, specific gene upregulation using the Q-switched Nd:YAG 532 nm laser.

Abstract
The aim of this in vitro study was to investigate the effect of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on the attachment, proliferation, differentiation and production of transforming growth factor-ss(1) (TGF-beta(1)) by human osteoblast-like cells (HOB). Cells derived from human mandibular bone were exposed to GaAlAs diode laser at dosages of 1.5 or 3 J/cm(2) and then seeded onto titanium discs. Non-irradiated cultures served as controls. After 1, 3 and 24h, cells were stained and the attached cells were counted under a light microscope. In order to investigate the effect of LLLT on cell proliferation after 48, 72 and 96 h, cells were cultured on titanium specimens for 24h and then exposed to laser irradiation for three consecutive days. Specific alkaline phosphatase activity and the ability of the cells to synthesize osteocalcin after 10 days were investigated using p-nitrophenylphosphate as a substrate and the ELSA-OST-NAT immunoradiometric kit, respectively. Cellular production of TGF-beta(1) was measured by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), using commercially available kits. LLLT significantly enhanced cellular attachment (P<0.05). Greater cell proliferation in the irradiated groups was observed first after 96 h. Osteocalcin synthesis and TGF-beta(1) production were significantly greater (P<0.05) on the samples exposed to 3 J/cm(2). However, alkaline phosphatase activity did not differ significantly among the three groups. These results showed that in response to LLLT, HOB cultured on titanium implant material had a tendency towards increased cellular attachment, proliferation, differentiation and production of TGF-beta(1), indicating that in vitro LLLT can modulate the activity of cells and tissues surrounding implant material.
