Protocol summary

Study aim
Determination of the effect of two types of 940nm and 810nm diode lasers on repair of infra-aleuolular sensory nerve injury in patients referred to Laser Research Center of the Faculty of Dentistry, University of Tehran during the year 1397-98.
Design
Clinical trials with control group, with parallel groups, blind, randomized
Settings and conduct
The first and second groups underwent irradiation of the infra-alluvial nerve pathway in three regions, including nerve insertion into the mandibular position of Foramen, Lip and one region in the two regions. The treatment will continue for 12 sessions (3 days a week). In each session, laser radiation with a power of 400mW in 20 seconds for each area is done. The area of each area under the radiation is 1 cm2 and the radiation dose per session is 8 J / cm2.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Less than six months have suffered a nerve damage due to dental treatment and have not undergone any treatment.
Intervention groups
Patients are divided into three groups: 1) under 810nm laser irradiation, 940nm laser irradiation, and 3) non-radiation laser (control group).
Main outcome variables
Four objective tests and a subjective test will be used to evaluate nerve repair. For all individuals, a full-scale clinical neurosensory test (CNT), including A (Brush stroke and 2-point discrimination), Bpr (pinprick nociception and thermal discrimination), will be performed. The intensity of fidelity and satisfaction is assessed using the Numerical Scale (0 is not at all satisfied - 10 is fully satisfied) and CNT will be evaluated before and after the treatment (after the first, third, seventh, and twelfth days).

Sample size

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
The randomization method consists of a quadrilateral random block In this method the size of the blocks is selected at random Each block contains an equal number of each group For ethical consideration and standard treatment, all patients were treated with vitamin B1 300 mg once daily and gabapentin 100 mg once daily Then patients are divided into three groups: 810nm diode laser, 940nm diode laser irradiation and no laser irradiation (control group)
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
The patient does not know what diode (940nm laser diode or 810nm laser diode or normal diode) will light up his nerve. Clinical supervision of the device and only diode light to the patient's nerve and is not known about the type of diode used. The outcome evaluator will only review the patient and record the result in a file that does not use the type of diode he or she uses.
