“…At I2 the FTMPF group has shown a higher weekly rate of canine retraction rather than the LLLT group, while in the I3 the LLLT group shown the higher weekly rate of canine retraction. These results were corresponded to former studies (27,29,30,35) findings. This could be explained as the RAP after FTMPF tend to start earlier than cellular stimulatory effect of LLLT.…”

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of using full thickness mucoperiosteal flap (FTMPF) elevation only versus low level laser therapy (LLLT) on acceleration of orthodontic tooth movement. Material and Methods: This study was a split mouth design study included 32 side according to sample size calculation. Those sides were divided into 2 groups. Group 1divided into (group 1a: 8 sides with FTMPF, group 1b:8 sides control). Group 2 (group 2 a: 8 sides with LLLT, group 2b: 8 sides control). Extraction of the first maxillary premolars followed by canine retraction in the extraction space with maximum anchorage were indicated. FTMPF was elevated from the mesial interdental papilla of maxillary canine to the mesial interdental papilla of second maxillary premolar. LLLT was applied at the 3,7,14,28.56 days of retraction. During retraction study model for all patients were taken at 2 nd , 6 th , 14 th ,16 th weeks and at the end of retraction (I1,I2,I3,I4,I5 or overall interval). 3D laser scanning and digital superimposition was done to measure the rate of canine retraction and anchorage loss. Results: Statistical analysis showed a significant difference in the distance moved by maxillary canine and weekly rate of retraction between the FTMPF and its control in I1, I2 and I5 and in I2, I3 and I5 LLLT and its control. The total retraction time was significantly decreased in both FTMPF and LLLT in comparison to control. Conclusions: FTMPF could accelerate orthodontic tooth movement with 25%, while LLLT could achieve 20% decrease with no significant difference between both techniques.

A BSTRACT Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) has been widely investigated as an adjunct technique for orthodontic treatment due to photobiomodulation effect. LLLT appears to be supportive for an orthodontic practice in terms of tooth movement acceleration, pain relief, and root resorption management. The decrease in these adverse effects will enhance the compliance in orthodontic patients, which could positively impact treatment outcomes. However, there seemed to be inconsistency in the impact of LLLT as well as its laser and treatment parameters. This scoping review aimed to evaluate the impact of different irradiation parameters on tooth movement acceleration, pain relief, and root resorption as well as to construct a protocol of LLLT in orthodontic practice. The search was conducted across PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, Google Scholar, and the reference lists of identified articles. The last search was conducted on October 10, 2021 to identify experiments in humans regarding the application of LLLT as noninvasive treatment in orthodontic practice published between 2010 and 2021. However, they were excluded if they were not clinical research, if they did not report the source of laser, or if they were not relevant to tooth movement, pain perception, and root resorption, or if they were not available in English or in full-text. Following the systematic search and selection process, 60 articles were included in this review. A majority of included articles were published in the past few years. The findings of this review supported the application of LLLT in orthodontic practice with purposes of tooth movement acceleration and pain reduction. The positive impact of LLLT on root resorption had not been clearly evident yet. As this review demonstrated heterogeneity of both laser and treatment parameters, further research should be required to ensure the effectiveness of its specific parameters in orthodontic practice.

“…Since 2004, several RCTs have been carried out. The most recent trial (split mouth design investigating the rate of canine retraction in premolar extractions cases) found that LLLT may accelerate OTM after 10 irradiations [20].…”

In today's fast-paced world, reducing the duration of orthodontic treatment has become a priority for patients seeking treatment. There are now several approaches and devices available that are reported to accelerate orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) and, fortunately, there has been an increase in the amount of research in this area in recent times. CPD/Clinical Relevance: The aim of this article is to provide an overview of the different non-conventional methods that can be used to accelerate OTM, and to discuss their effectiveness, as well as their potential shortcomings.
