Effect of low-level laser therapy (660 nm) on the healing of second-degree skin burns in rats

Low level LASER therapy (LLLT) and pulsed ultrasound have been shown to relieve pain, promote healing and tissue repair in sport injuries. The objective of this study was to investigate the comparative efficacy of LLLT and pulsed ultrasound in the management of second - degree contusion in sportsmen. This is a 2 group pre-test – post-test quasi – experimental study involving 20 sportsmen, ten were in Group A (LLLT) and ten in Group B (P-US). They were aged between 19 and 30 years with the mean age 24.9 ± 3.28 years and 27.4 ± 3.75 years for the Group A and Group B respectively. Treatment consisted of six sessions, in a period of 2 weeks. Data collected on each participants included age, weight, height, site of injury, pain intensity, swelling, calf girth and range of motion. The result of the study revealed decrease in pain for both LLLT and pulsed ultrasound (p0.05). It was concluded that both therapies are equally effective in the management of pain resulting from second – degree contusion in sportsmen.

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<0.01) and 3months(58.86±3.75 and 67.06±3.78; p<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<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<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.
