Summary

The aim of this study was to compare the effects of different wave lengths of LLLT on salivation in participants suffering from hyposalivation.

This study included 30 participants whose major salivary glands were treated with low intensity diode laser BTL2000 (Medical Technologies, s.r.o., Czech Republic) during 10 consecutive days. Patients were randomly assigned in two groups, each of 15 patients, and treated with LLLT of 830 nm and LLLT of 685 nm, respectively. The whole unstimulated and stimulated saliva was measured each day during 10 days, before and after laser treatment and 10th day after treatment was ended.
