PRELIMINARY STUDY ON THE USE OF LOW POWER LASER IN THE TREATMENT OF INFERIOR DENTAL NERVE DYSESTHESIA.
Keywords:
inferior alveolar nerve, laser, Low-Level Light TherapyAbstract
Objective: to analyze the effects of low power laser therapy (LLLT) on changes in sensitivity of the mental region in patients with dysesthesia of the inferior alveolar nerve.
Materials and methods: six patients with dysesthesia in the mental region of six months of evolution, after having undergone extraction of impacted third molars, were analyzed. Sensorineural recovery was assessed by mapping tests, millimetric template use, visual analog scale (VAS), brush stroke, thermal discrimination, skin mapping area. A 940nm diode laser was applied, power: 0.6 watts, power density 3 watts/cm2, energy density 7 Joules/cm2, beam area 0.2 cm2 for a total of 6 sessions. Data were analyzed using Friedman's test (p=0.05).
Results: the mean on the painful VAS scale decreased (p= 0.0056). Regarding the recovery of non-painful sensitivity, this increased (p= 0.0013). The mapping area decreased after the application of the laser sessions: (p= 0.0041). In relation to the application of the brush stimulus in the sixth session, 100% identified the stimulus (p= 0.0492). In the cold stimulus test, 100% of those investigated felt the same stimulus as in normal areas (p= 0.019), after six laser applications.
Conclusion: The protocol proposed here could constitute an important therapeutic alternative to control dysesthesias of the inferior alveolar nerve.
