This study aimed to evaluate and compare the effect of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on mandibular condylar volume and position following treatment of a Class II malocclusion with a twin block (TB) appliance employing cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Twenty-four growing patients, aged 9–12 years, were randomly allocated into control and laser groups. All patients were treated with a TB appliance. The patients in the laser group were treated weekly with a gallium–aluminum–arsenide (GaAlAs) diode laser around the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) region for three months. CBCT images were obtained before and after TB therapy and the changes in TMJ and skeletal variables were evaluated and compared among and between the groups. In the laser group, the condylar volume of the right and left sides significantly increased by 213.3 mm3 and 231.2 mm3, respectively (p < 0.05), whereas in the control group it significantly increased by 225.2 mm3, and 244.2 mm3, respectively (p < 0.05), with forward and lateral positioning of both sides. Furthermore, effective mandibular, ramus, and corpus lengths were increased, which were not significant between the groups. Low-Level Laser therapy accomplished no considerable effect on mandibular condylar volume and position following the functional orthopedic treatment of skeletal Class II malocclusions using a TB appliance.

Background/Aim. Gingivitis catarrhalis is the most common disease of the oral mucosa in children, representing an inflammation of the gingiva of an exudative nature. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of low-level laser therapy and hyaluronic acid therapy on gingivitis catarrhalis in children using the appropriate clinical parameters. Methods. The study involved 100 children with permanent dentition in whom gingivitis catarrhalis had been diagnosed. The examinees were divided into two groups: the group I consisting of patients with gingival inflammation (50 examinees) in whom the therapy with hyaluronic acid was applied after the removal of soft and hard dental deposits, and the group II consisting of patients with gingival inflammation (50 examinees) in whom low-level laser therapy was applied after the removal of soft and hard dental deposits. Clinical evaluation of the therapeutic effects of low-level laser and hyaluronic acid on gingivitis catarrhalis was performed using the appropriate indices: the Greene-Vermillion Plaque Index (PI), Muhlemann bleeding index (BI), and Community Periodontal Index of Treatment Needs (CPITN). Results. Using the Student?s t-test for dependent samples, a statistically significant difference was obtained (p < 0.001) between the PI, BI, and CPITN indices before and after the therapy in both examined groups. Moreover, the CPITN index after the therapy in the group II was statistically significantly lower (p < 0.05) than that obtained in the group I. Conclusion. The results demonstrated an exceptional effect of hyaluronic acid and low-level laser therapy, supplementing basic therapy, in the treatment of catarrhal gingivitis in children. Somewhat better results were achieved with the combination of basic therapy and low-level laser.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) improves the 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 two groups - the control group and the test group. The test group received laser energy at a power of 2J/cm 2 with a total of 4-6J energy over each implant. Clinical parameters (Implant Stability Quotient, probing index, modified sulcus bleeding index)and osteoprotegerin (OPG) were assessed at baseline and follow-up intervals (2 weeks, 6 weeks, and 3 months).The test group showed significantly higher implant stability quotient compared to thecontrol group at 2 weeks(57.93±3.95 and 35.67±3.08; p&lt;0.01) and 3months(58.86±3.75 and 67.06±3.78; p&lt;0.01). A significant rise in OPG levels of the test group(686.30±125.36pg/ml at baseline and 784.25±108.30pg/ml at 3months;p&lt;0.01) was seen contrary to significant decline in the control group (839.50±249.08pg/ml at baseline,415.30±78.39pg/ml at 3months;p&lt;0.01). Within the limitations of the study, the study suggests that the healing of peri-implant hard and soft tissues may be enhanced with the use of LLLT as an explicit modality during the post-operative period.
