Study aim
-
Evaluation and comparison the mean values of quantitative neurosensory measurement after orthognatic surgury with low level laser in patients who want Lefort I and sagittal split osteotomy surgery in 12 patients(6female and 6 male)
-
Design
-
Clinical trials with a control group, with parallel groups, double-blind, randomized.6 patients in control group and 6 patients in Intervention group.
-
Settings and conduct
-
Patients candidates for orthognathic surgery in Alzahra and Kashani hospitals are informed about the study and after approval of inclusion criterias ,are entered to the study. After surgery(Lefort I and sagittal split osteotomy surgery), they are exposed to low level laser unilaterally and having the other side as control group with placebo effect of laser on stand-by mode with patient blinded to the side in 2 determined recalls after surgery, neurosensory changes are evaluated by clinical neurosensory tests(Thermal test,two point descrimination,light touch,pin prick)
