Photobiomodulation and Root Resorption

August 1, 2019 updated by: Merve Goymen, University of Gaziantep

Placebo-Controlled, Randomized, Double Blind Trial of Effect of Photobiomodulation Therapies On The Root Resorption Associated With Orthodontic Forces: A Pilot Study Using Micro Computed Tomography

Objectives: The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of photobiomodulation therapies on root resorption compared with the placebo group. Materials and Methods: 30 patients, who were admitted to the …………. University Faculty of Dentistry Orthodontics Department for treatment, with an indication of upper right 1st premolar tooth extraction was included. Before the individuals' orthodontic treatment, 0.022 slot MBT brackets and tubes were placed on the maxillary 1st premolar and molar. A 150g buccal tipping force was applied to the 1st premolar. Individuals were then randomly divided into 3 groups. For the first group; laser application was performed with a 810 nm GaAlAs laser device at 0,3,7,14,21 and 28 days to 8 J/cm2. Second group; an LED application according to the manufacturer's instructions with a 850 nm wavelength and 20 mW/cm2 output power for 10 minutes per day during the experiment. Third group; a placebo therapy was completed whereby a laser device that did not make active pulses was used. At the end of four weeks, the amount of root surface resorption was compared using micro-CT imaging after the extraction of the teeth.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Root resorption (total)
The resorption cavities on the root surface were determined and the volumes of the cavities were measured in CTAn software (micro-CT).
Device: Laser
Diode laser device was used for photobiomodulation
Device: light-emitting diode (LED)
LED device was used for photobiomodulation
Device: Placebo
Diode laser device was used for placebo effect
Experimental: Root resorption (local)
The resorption cavities on the root surface (palatal, buccal, distal and mesial root surfaces) were determined and the volumes of the cavities were measured in CTAn software (micro-CT).
Device: Laser
Diode laser device was used for photobiomodulation
Device: light-emitting diode (LED)
LED device was used for photobiomodulation
Device: Placebo
Diode laser device was used for placebo effect
