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).
