Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of Low level laser therapy on stability and displacement of orthodontic miniscrew implants using two different force application protocols.

Conditions

  • Displacement of Other Bone Devices, Implants and Grafts
  • Mechanical Complication of Other Bone Devices, Implants and Grafts

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Low-level laser therapy

1. Immediate post-operative period (implantation day) Red emission (660 nm) Energy density: 4 J/cm2 Power: 0.1W Irradiation area: 0,5 cm2 One application, 10 seconds of non-contact irradiation (01 point at the area surrounding the miniscrew) at a distance of 15,5 mm. 2. Mediate post-operative period (after implantation day) Infrared emission (808 nm) Energy density: 8 J/cm2 Power: 0.1W Irradiation area: 0,5 cm2 6 applications every 48 hours after the day of implantation, 20 seconds of non-contact irradiation (01 point on the area surrounding the miniscrew) at a distance of 15,5 mm.

PROCEDURE

Mediate force application

Mediate force application protocol: orthodontic force application (150 gF) 4 weeks after the day of the implantation.
