Clinical Application of the Diode Laser in the Oral and Maxillofacial region.

Evaluation by Double Blind Method

Abstract

Recently various soft laser are developed. They are useful in treatment. But the biological mechanism of the laser is not known in details. And psychosomatic effect may be considerable in the case of pain treatment.
So we evaluated the clinical effect of the soft laser for the pain, strange feeling, muscle stiffness etc in the oral and maxillofacial region objectively by double blind method.
As a result of this study, the irradiation group was effective as compared with the control group. We suggested that soft laser is really useful clinically.
