Introduction: The use of low-level laser therapy to treat wounds and accelerate tissue healing has extensively been studied in recent years. The aim of this article is to describe a clinical case using an unfocused high-power laser instead of a low-power laser for therapy. Case Report: In the present article, we present the use of a high-power diode laser to treat an extensive knee injury that occurred after surgical treatment for total prosthesis due to border ischemia resulting from prolonged use of autostatic retractors. Conclusion: It is possible to use an unfocused high-power laser at a decreased intensity to accelerate healing as an adjuvant in the treatment of complicated wounds. This procedure results in reduced application time and cost and an excellent tissue response pattern similar to that reported in the literature with low-power lasers.

Introduction: Pain control in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment is one of the major challenges of such treatments. The use of new technologies such as Laser offers promising results in this field. The goal of this study is to survey the works on effect of low-power laser on pain relief during orthodontic treatments. Methodology: The key terms including “orthodontics, reduction, pain, low level, power, laser and laser therapy” alone as well as combinations. those key terms were used to search the databases including “Google Scholar, Science Direct, and PubMed”. The review of collected sources was done which led to selection of 557 papers. The validation was done through CONSORT guidelines. Results: After review of selected papers, 34 studies including 32 human studies and 2 animal studies were selected. Conclusion: The positive findings of reviewed studies on use of laser therapy suggest that low power laser could be effective on pain relief. Conducting further studies on this subject will be beneficial.

Introduction: according to scientific literature, does low-power laser promote acceleration of tooth movements during orthodontic treatment? Objective: to systematize the ability of the low-power laser to accelerate tooth movements during orthodontic treatment. Material and methods: a systematic review was carried out, a search using Boolean search engines on the PubMed platform. The keywords used for were: orthodontic movement, orthodontic tooth movement, orthodontic, orthodontic treatment, low level laser therapy, low level laser, laser therapy and the combination between them. The included investigations dealt with the issue of acceleration of tooth movement during orthodontic treatment using low-power laser, were from journals indexed in PubMed, clinical trials, in English, and corresponded to articles published since 2000 to date. Assessment of risk of bias was performed. The variables analyzed were: main author, title, year, type of article, journal, country of research, and whether the articles show that low-power laser increases tooth movement during orthodontic treatment. Results: 60% of the included studies conclude that the low-power laser accelerates tooth movement during orthodontic treatment, 30% of these did not find significant changes in relation to the groups studied with those of control and 10% resulted in dubious conclusions. Conclusions: although the results are encouraging due to the trend in which the low-power laser does accelerate orthodontic movements, the presence of a higher number of randomized clinical studies would be necessary for a specific clarification of the benefits that this therapy brings to the patient. sector.

Abstract Controlling the delivery of multi-terawatt and petawatt laser pulses to final focus, both in position and angle, is critical to many laser applications such as optical guiding, laser–plasma acceleration, and laser-produced secondary radiation. We present an online, non-destructive laser diagnostic, capable of measuring the transverse position and pointing angle at focus. The diagnostic is based on a unique double-surface-coated wedged-mirror design for the final steering optic in the laser line, producing a witness beam highly correlated with the main beam. By propagating low-power kilohertz pulses to focus, we observed spectra of focus position and pointing angle fluctuations dominated by frequencies below 70 Hz. The setup was also used to characterize the excellent position and pointing angle correlation of the 1 Hz high-power laser pulses to this low-power kilohertz pulse train, opening a promising path to fast non-perturbative feedback concepts even on few-hertz-class high-power laser systems.

Introduction: The surgical procedure is used for the treatment of external and internal injuries and diseases, performed through operations. In this context, the plastic surgery has the purpose of artificially reconstructing a part of the body. Among the various types of surgical interventions, lipoabdominoplasty is more accomplished, correcting the aesthetic and functional deformities of the abdomen, adding a better and more harmonious abdominal contour. Objective: To analyze the effect of the application of the low power laser in the repair of the cicatricial dehiscence in the postoperative period of lipoabdominoplasty in one patient. Methodology: A 25-year-old female patient who underwent lipoabdominoplasty surgery sought physical therapy in March 2017. She had cicatricial dehiscence, and started the pharmacological and physiotherapeutic treatment with low-power laser, AsGa, 12 s, 6J, non-contact. Results: It was observed improvement of the dehiscence progressively, with reduction of the local inflammation, reorganization of the tissue and closure of the wound, presenting in the end only the surgical scar. Conclusion: This study demonstrated positive effect of laser therapy, recovering the injured tissue, signaling a new non-invasive approach to a safe and beneficial treatment.

The biological effects promoted by low power laser result in faster wound healing. However, wounds are very complex systems from both host and microbial point of view. Since infection is a common cause of delayed wound healing, it is important to understand the effect of low-level laser therapy in bacterial growth. This mini-review summaries the current evidence about effects of low level laser on bacteria vitro studies.Key-words: Low power laser, infected injury, bacteria.
