“…The application of Low-level laser therapy is a noninvasive alternative that has shown to be effective not only to reduce pain caused by the application of separators (Burns et al, 2001;Aihara et al, 2006;Cattaneo et al, 2009;Altan et al, 2012;Artés-Ribas et al, 2013;Bister & Meikle, 2013) in the initial stages of treatment (Chen et al, 2011), during canine retraction (Cruz et al, 2004;d'Apuzzo et al, 2013) and following activation of orthodontic final archwires (Dominguez et al, 2012) but also to reduce the overall orthodontic treatment time Domínguez-Camacho & Velásquez-Cujar, 2010;Doshi-Mehta & Bhad-Patil, 2012;Domínguez & Velásquez, 2013).…”

DOMINGUEZ, Á.; LEÓN, P.; ARISTIZABAL. J. F. Effect of low level laser therapy on local bone resorption during orthodontic treatment. A randomized controlled trial. Int. J. Odontostomat., 10(3):483-490, 2016. ABSTRACT:The aim of this study was to assess whether the application of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) during the first stage of orthodontic treatment has an effect on local bone resorption and is detectable at the systemic level by measuring deoxypyridinoline levels (Pyrilinks) in urine. This was a randomized (1:1), double-blind, active-controlled, parallel-group trial. 28 adult patients who were going to start orthodontic treatment were randomly divided into the control group (n: 13) and the experimental group (n: 15), the latter of which received LLLT. All of the subjects underwent testing of urine samples: the first one on the day before the beginning of orthodontic treatment (T0), and the second one 5 days after bracket placement to measure Pyrilinks values (Dpd/Cr) in urine. Group differences were evaluated with Student's paired t-test. At the beginning of the study, the Pyrilinks were in the normal range for 53.57 % of the patients, and 46.43 % had elevated values according to the normal ranges. Only taking into account the normal values at (T0), the average Pyrilinks for control group (T0) were 5.75± 1.20 nM/mM, (T1): 6.02±3.00 nM/mM. For experimental group, (T0) was 5.71± 0.72, and it was 6.63± 0.73 in (T1).There were no significant differences in the Pyrilinks changes. (p= 0.75). In the experimental group levels raised statistically significant (p = 0.009). LLLT on patients starting orthodontic treatment with normal Pyrilinks levels have a statistically significant increment on their levels 5 days post irradiation.

“…A utilização do laser na aceleração da movimentação ortodôntica atua na capacidade do laser em interferir no metabolismo celular, acelerando o processo de reabsorção e neoformação óssea e vem sendo utilizada devido aos benefícios que ela pode promover como diminuição do tempo de tratamento e custos por parte do paciente. Muitos estudos (CRUZ et al, 2004;DOSHI-MEHTA;BHAD-PATIL, 2012;GENC et al, 2013;SOUSA et al, 2011;YOUSSEF et al, 2008) revelam a aplicação do laser mais de uma vez por mês para promover essa aceleração, porém o ideal seria ter a aplicação do laser somente no momento da ativação do aparelho ortodôntico fixo diminuindo o número de visitas do paciente ao consultório odontológico. Orlando (2010), observou a aceleração da movimentação ortodôntica na retração inicial de caninos fazendo a aplicação do laser somente no momento da ativação da retração, porém a dose utilizada promoveu aceleração da movimentação dentária somente para os caninos inferiores, não sendo adequada para os caninos superiores.…”

“…Sabe-se que o LBI estimula o metabolismo celular, acelerando os processos de reprodução e reparo celular (pela síntese de DNA e RNA e produção de ATP) e alguns estudos já demonstraram a efetividade do laser de baixa intensidade na movimentação dentária em humanos (CRUZ et al, 2004;DOSHI-MEHTA;BHAD-PATIL, 2012;ORLANDO, 2010;SOUSA et al, 2011;YOUSSEF et al, 2008), porém sabe-se que somente Orlando (2010) utilizou a aplicação de dose única mensal com resultado positivo e por ter apresentado efetividade para os caninos inferiores a mesma dose foi repetida no presente estudo para o arco inferior, porém observou-se efetividade somente no primeiro mês de aplicação. A literatura revela que após a aplicação de uma força são liberados os mediadores da inflamação necessários para que ocorra a movimentação dentária.…”

The following four fundamental points on the use of experimental models will be described to ensure an accurate evaluation of the effects of medication and laser therapy on induced tooth movement and associated root resorption: (1) If the objective is to check the effect on root resorption, the forces experimentally applied must produce a lesion on the cementoblast layer in all specimens; (2) If the objective is to optimize induced tooth movement and reduce treatment time without side effects, the forces experimentally applied should not produce a lesion in the cementoblast layer in any specimen; (3) The laser therapy operator, the person administering medication and the person that places appliances should not know which animals will effectively receive the test treatment, and the control groups should receive placebo treatments; (4) CT and microscopic analysis of the specimens should be random, and the group to which the specimen belongs should not be identified to ensure that the person reading images and the pathologists are not influenced in their evaluation of phenomena. These measures will ensure that results are more reliable and easier to extrapolate to orthodontic clinical practice.
