Effects of low‐intensity laser therapy on the orthodontic movement velocity of human teeth: A preliminary study

Cruz, Delma R., Kohara, Eduardo K., Ribeiro, Martha S., Wetter, Niklaus U.·2004·Lasers in Surgery and Medicine

Abstract

Background and Objectives: Low‐intensity laser therapy (LILT) has been studied in many fields of dentistry, but to our knowledge, this is the first time that its effects on orthodontic movement velocity in humans are investigated. Study Design/Patients and Methods: Eleven patients were recruited for this 2‐month study. One half of the upper arcade was considered control group (CG) and received mechanical activation of the canine teeth every 30 days. The opposite half received the same mechanical activation and was also irradiated with a diode laser emitting light at 780 nm, during 10 seconds at 20 mW, 5 J/cm 2, on 4 days of each month. Data of the biometrical progress of both groups were statistically compared. Results: All patients showed significant higher acceleration of the retraction of canines on the side treated with LILT when compared to the control. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that LILT does accelerate human teeth movement and could therefore considerably shorten the whole treatment duration. Lasers Surg.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
