Abstract

Recently, low power density lasers have been used in dental and oral surgical treatments. We had an experience of using low power density He-Ne laser (Soft laser 632 by Mainfar Co.) on stellate ganglion. We evaluated the clinical effect of the low power density He-Ne laser irradiation by thermograph “TVS-4300 ME”.
It seemed that the effect of relieving pain was result of laser irradiation.
