Summary:
To investigate the effect of Low Level Laser therapy on orthodontic tooth movement of
periodontally compromised patients by evaluating the rate of orthodontic tooth movement
and the level of Osteocalcin in the gingival crevicular fluid.
Detailed description:
Low-Level laser therapy has been reported as an effective adjunct to non surgical
periodontal treatment for inflammation control and tissue reparation in patients with
periodontitis. Previous studies have shown that application of low-level laser therapy
reduced pocket depth and decreased the inflammatory process through regulatory control of
inflammatory cytokines level, therefore this study will investigate the effect of
low-level laser on the periodontal tissue .Accelerating orthodontic tooth movement is one
of the primary demand in orthodontics to prevent side effects as root resorption, caries
and decreased patient compliance . Numerous researchers have also studied the use of LLLT
in accelerating orthodontic tooth movement and have considered the laser to be effective
while others achieved the opposite . Hence, This study is aiming to investigate the
effects of LLLT in accelerating tooth movement.
