“…Literature search revealed five RCTs on use of LLLT as diode laser for treatment of OLP. Amongst these, four RCTs compared response of LLLT with topical steroid (Jajarm et al , ; Dillenburg et al , ; El Shenawy and Eldin, ; Kazancioglu and Erisen, ) and one with CO 2 laser (Agha‐Hosseini et al , ). From the trials comparing LLLT with steroids, it was seen that LLLT was inferior in response to topical steroids such as dexamethasone and triamcinolone but superior to 0.05% clobetasol in erosive and atrophic OLP (Dillenburg et al , ).…”

“…Trials incorporating non-medical intervention. Amongst non-medical intervention, therapies included photodynamic therapy (PDT; Lundquist et al, 1995;Dillenburg et al, 2014;Jajarm et al, 2015), laser ablation (Jajarm et al, 2011;Agha-Hosseini et al, 2012;El Shenawy and Eldin, 2015;Kazancioglu and Erisen, 2015), surgical excision and free soft tissue graft (Kapoor et al, 2014), and use of cryosurgery (Amanat et al, 2014).…”

“…[1][2][3] The biomodulatory effects of LLLT on the healing process are associated with increased collagen synthesis, increased epithelial and fibroblast proliferation, reduced inflammation, and attenuation of postoperative pain. [4][5][6][7] Experimental studies on the effect of LLLT on peri-implant bone healing have shown improved osseointegration and a shorter implant rehabilitation period.…”

Objective: The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the effect of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on the peri-implant bone healing process in the rabbit mandible. Background data: LLLT has been shown to accelerate tissue repair and osseointegration of implants placed into the rabbit tibia. However, the beneficial effects of LLLT have never been tested in the rabbit mandible, which would more closely mimic the human situation. Materials and methods: Twenty-four male New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into four groups of six animals each. All animals had their left mandibular incisors extracted, followed by immediate insertion of a titanium dental implant in the fresh socket. Three groups received LLLT [aluminum-galliumarsenide (AlGaAs), k = 830nm, 50 mW, continuous wave (CW)] at three different energy densities per treatment session (E-5, 5 J/cm 2 ; E-10, 10 J/cm 2 ; and E-20, 20 J/cm 2 ). Irradiation was performed every 48 h for 13 days, totaling seven sessions. One group received sham treatment (controls). Histological sections were obtained from each of the 24 mandibles dissected, without first decalcifying the specimens, and were stained with hematoxylin and eosin and Picrosirius red for histomorphometric evaluation. Bone-to-implant contact (BIC), bone formation area, and collagen fiber area were assessed by light microscopy. Results: Significant differences were found between group E-20 and all other groups ( p < 0.05). Histomorphometric evaluation showed significantly higher BIC and significantly more collagen fibers in group E-20. Conclusions: Photobiostimulation with LLLT at an energy density of 20 J/cm 2 per session had a significant positive effect on new bone formation around dental implants inserted in the rabbit mandible.

Background: Matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) plays a key role in development of cancer. The purpose of this study was to assess MMP-3 in the serum and saliva of patients with oral lichen planus (OLP) and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Materials and methods:Thirty patients with OLP (8 reticular and 22 erosive forms), and 20 patients with OSCC (6 in low stage and 14 in advanced stage), were enrolled in this study, conducted at the Cancer Department, Clinic of Oral Medicine, Tehran University of Medical Sciences. The serum and saliva MMP-3 was assayed by ELISA method. Statistical analysis of the Student's t-test, ANOVA and Pearson correlation coefficient was performed. The mean saliva and serum levels of MMP-3 were significantly higher in patients with OSCC compared with OLP. Results:The serum and saliva MMP-3 concentrations increased from reticular form of OLP to erosive form of OLP, and increased further to low stage of OSCC and advanced stage of OSCC. Serum MMP-3 correlated significantly with unstimulated (r = 0.310, p = 0.038) and stimulated (r = 0.365, p < 0.026) saliva MMP-3. Conclusion:Serum and saliva MMP-3 levels appear associated with OLP and OSCC.
