Further study details as provided by Universidad de Antioquia:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Teeth with intrusive movement and low power laser [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Histological changes and root resorption were assesed in Teeth with intrusive movement after a low power laser application


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Teeth with intrusive movements with no laser exposition [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Histological changes and root resorption were assesed in Teeth with intrusive movement with no laser exposition


Enrollment: 34

Primary Completion Date: May 2008 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Teeth with intrusive movement and low power laser
Histological changes and root resorption were assesed in Teeth with intrusive movement after a low power laser application
 Radiation: Low power laser in teeth after intrusive movement
Low power laser was aplied to premolar teeth under an intrusive movement to study histological changes and root resorption
Experimental: Teeth with intrusive movements with no laser
Histological changes and root resorption in Teeth with intrusive movements with no laser
 Other: Simulated laser in teeth with intrusive movements
Simulated laser in teeth with intrusive movements for histological and root resorption changes

Detailed Description:

Orthodontics movements can cause inflamatory changes in the pulp and external inflamatory root resorption, different methods have been suggested to control that changes as the use of the low power laser. The objective of this study is to evaluate the low power laser effect on the inflamatory pulpar change and inflamatory external root resorption in maxillary premolars with intrusive orthodontic movements of 4 ounces during 12 weeks. Total sample were 34 healthy teeth, 16 were used to evaluate the normal standar and 18 were divided in two groups, the experimental group with the low power laser effect had a dose of 18 joules after activations of the orthodontic intrusion and the control group had a simulated effect in the same orthodontic movement. Teeth were extacted after 12 weeks and histological changes were evaluated in the dentinal-pulp complex and the pesence of external inflamatory root resorption. Findins suggest that low power. Laser decreased the inflamatory changes of the dentinal - pulp complex and the severity of the external inflamatory root resorption.
