cold laser

A hand-held, nonsurgical laser using photobiostimulation, which received FDA approval for treating carpal tunnel syndrome. Benefits claimed for cold lasers include increased collagen production, nerve regeneration, bone and tissue repair, vasodilation, enzyme response, cell metabolism, cell membrane potential, pain threshold, and reduced inflammatory duration and oedema.

Many studies evaluated the influences of LLLT with the various mediators such as the receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B (RANK)/RANK ligand (RANKL) (11), the macrophage colony-stimulating factor/its receptor (12), tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (13), matrix metalloproteinase-9, cathepsin K, and alpha(v) beta(3) [a(v)b3] integrin (14), and consequently suggested that low level therapy had an influence on the acceleration of the tooth movement by supporting the alveolar bone remodeling.

When the values obtained by each of the therapies were individually observed, it was evident that for the potassium nitrate group, the results obtained in terms of desensitization took place gradually, while with the use of LLLT, values were generated immediately and lasted along the full follow up (30 days).

No study has been conducted so far, at least to the best of our knowledge, to see the physical change of the partial tear of supraspinatus tendon in terms of tendon thickness and tear width using musculoskeletal ultrasound after application of LLLT. There is need to conservatively treat the partial tear of supraspinatus tendon conservatively before referring the patients for surgery or injection therapy.
