A new treatment using low level laser therapy for dehiscence saphenectomy post myocardial revascularization in diabetic patients

In virtually every area of dentistry the advent of lasers and more precisely soft lasers was revolutionary. Advantages of this particular laser is multidirectional, and thus the results are multifold. A major purpose in current dentistry is the non-invasive therapy in oral diseases. The search for a new treatment promotes a thorough review of the laser technology that currently provides opportunities for their use in all fields of dental practice. Improved knowledge and ongoing work in this direction have culminated in a stronger awareness of of Low Level Laser Therapy’s (LLLT’s) stimulatory, anti-inflammatory and biogenerative impacts, not just on soft tissue but also on hard tissue. Laser results have not yet been extensively studied, but they have the potential to become recognized as a better alternative than conventional therapy. The aim of this article is to put the use of LLLT in the field of dentistry into perspective through exploring the concepts of low-level laser therapy and their effect on soft and hard tissues in the oral cavity at a subclinical stage. This in turn reduces the dependence on medications and with it reduces the occurrences of drug interactions or complications.

Background/Aim. There is clear evidence on direct relationship between periodontal disease and diabetes mellitus. Many investigations point out greater prevalence and severity of periodontal disease among diabetic patients. During last decade, low level laser therapy has been used in periodontal therapy. It has biostimulative effect, accelerates wound healing, minimizes pain and swelling, and there is almost no contraindication for its usage. The aim of the paper was to investigate the efficiency of low level laser therapy as adjuvant tool in reduction of gingival inflammation in diabetic patients. Methods. The study incuded 150 participants divided into three groups: group I (50 participants with diabetes mellitus type 1 and periodontal disease), group II (50 participants with diabetes mellitus type 2 and periodontal disease), group III (nondiabetic participants with periodontal disease). Gingival health evaluation was done using gingival index L?e-Silness. Soft and hard deposits were removed, periodontal pockets cleaned and GaAlAs low level laser therapy (5 mW) applied five consecutive days. In each patient, low level laser therapy was not applied on the left side of the jaw in order to compare the effects of the applied therapy. After the first, third and fifth therapy and one month after the last visit gingival index was evaluated. Before the first and after the fifth therapy exfoliative cytology of gingiva was done and nuclei areal was analyzed morphometrically. Results. After all investigated periods, gingival index and nuclei areal were significantly decreased comparing to values before the therapy, at both jaw sides (p < 0.001). After the 1st, 3rd and 5th therapy, the t-test showed a significantly decreased gingival index at the lased side of jaw comparing to non-lased side. Conclusion. Low level laser therapy is efficient in gingival inflammation elimination and can be proposed as an adjuvant tool in basic periodontal therapy of diabetic patients.

Introduction: Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) has been used as an effective therapeutic modality since the mid-1960s. Although there have been several clinical studies using LLLT in wound healing, especially diabetic, pressure and venous ulcers, there are few reports of using this technique in burn ulcers. Autologous fibroblast transplantation is a novel treatment for patients with burns or venous ulcers. In this study for the first time, we used LLLT along with autologous fibroblast skin transplantation to treat grade 3 burn ulcers in diabetic patients. This case series describes the successful management of grade 3 burn ulcers in 10 diabetic patients using autologous fibroblast transplantation along with LLLT. Methods: After the approval of the Tehran University Ethics Committee (IR.TUMS.REC.1394.1683) and the Iran Registry of Clinical Trials (IRCT2016050226069N3), 10 diabetic patients with 10 grade 3 burn ulcers, who were a candidate for skin graft surgery, entered the study. Donor skin was biopsied using a 3 mm punch. Fibroblasts were extracted and cultured in vitro in the GMP Technique laboratory. The patients were treated using LLLT in 3-4 weeks during the time that fibroblast cultures became ready to use. Laser irradiation was done using red light, 650 nm, 150 mW, 1 J/cm2 for the bed of the ulcer and infra-red light 808 nm, 200 mW, 6 J/cm2 for the margins every other day for 10 sessions. Results: The mean wound size before treatment was 16.28 cm2 . All patients’ burn wounds healed completely after 10-12 weeks. Conclusion: We conclude that this method can be used as an effective method for treating large wounds, especially in complicated patients including the diabetics.
