Resumen
El texto original del estudio, en el idioma en que se publicó.
Purpose
The major concern of sagittal split osteotomy (SSO) is the neurosensory disturbance. The authors investigated the effect of low-level laser therapy and light-emitting diode on the inferior alveolar nerve recovery after SSO.
Methods
In this double-blinded randomized clinical trial, 20 subjects with inferior alveolar nerve injury after SSO of the mandible were studied. Neurosensory recovery was assessed by 6 tests: visual analog scale (VAS), brush stroke, 2-point discrimination, contact detect detection, pinprick nociception, and thermal discrimination, and each one was performed before and after the surgery on days 1, 3, 7, 14, 60, and 180.
Results
After 1 week, the VAS score in the laser group significantly improved in comparison with the control group. Visual analog scale score improvement was 25% (P = 0.015) at 2 weeks, 21% (P = 0.001) at 2 months, and 24% (P = 0.001) at 6 months. After 2 weeks, the brush stroke score improvement was significant in the laser group. The improvement values were 21.5% (P = 0.002) at 2 months and 15.1% (P = 0.004) at 6 months.
Conclusion
Low-level laser therapy and light-emitting diode may improve VAS scores, 2-point discrimination, and brush stroke test results without any effect on the pinprick or contact detection test results.
