Intra-oral low level laser therapy in XXXX : A new and effective recommended technique.

@entity1244 @entity1 @entity102 @entity1180 @entity50
BACKGROUND: @entity102 is one of the most common @entity102 involving different age groups. Because the nature and etiology of chronic @entity1244 are not completely known, there is not any standard treatment for this disease. It has been suggested that low-level laser can be used in treating chronic @entity1244 but there are limited studies about its usage. In this research, intra-oral radiation of low-level laser has been described and implemented for the first time. Suggested hypotheses about the efficacy of this type of radiation (intra-oral) in treating @entity1180 includes this fact that the depth of maxilla's vestibule is also the @entity50 collect in this area because of gravity effect. Therefore, with considering suitable radiation angle, this area gets the most benefits of laser's anti-inflammatory effects. MATERIAL AND METHODS: In this study, 20 @entity1 with @entity1180 were included. They were assessed before and after treatment. Treatment plan was performed in 8 sessions every other days using low-level diode laser with 810 nm. Snot-22 questionnaire and rhinomanometry were used for evaluating @entity1 . Changes of signs and symptoms were recorded in questionnaire every session and 6 months after treatment. Friedman and Wilcoxon tests were used for data analyses. In this study, P value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS: All variables and all symptoms of @entity1 were improved using intra-oral low-level laser and this improvement was statistically significant (P value<0.05). There was also significant decrease in nasal airway resistance and significant increase in air flow (P value<0.05). Six month after treatment completion, there was no significant difference between the results of completion and the results of 8th treatment session (P value< 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Using intra-oral low-level laser is a suitable way to treat @entity1 with @entity1180 . Key words: @entity102 , maxillary @entity1244 , low-level laser.
