The present placebo-controlled parallel design clinical study was planned to determine the effect of low level laser therapy on clinical periodontal conditions and dimensions of free gingival graft as well as postoperative pain levels in the surgical area.
Background: Shrinkage of the free gingival graft (FGG) and patient's discomfort during healing period are important concerns. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of low level laser therapy (LLLT) in terms of enhancing wound healing, reducing graft shrinkage and postoperative pain.
Methods: Thirty patients were randomly assigned to receive either FGG+ LLLT (test, n = 15) or FGG + placebo LLLT (control, n = 15). In the test group, a diode laser (aluminum-gallium-arsenide, 810 nm, 0.1 W, continuous mode, time of irradiation:60 s, energy density: 6 J/cm2, spot size:0.5 cm) was applied immediately after the FGG surgery and 1,3,7, and 14 days later. The control group received the same sequence of irradiation with the laser-off. Comparison of the graft surface areas between groups at 1st, 3rd and 6th months were made with an image-analyzing software. Complete wound epithelization, visual analogue scale (VAS) pain score of recipient site and the number of analgesic used were evaluated after the surgery.
Exclusion Criteria:
Free Gingival Graft (FGG) + Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) + Clinical Examination The test group received LLLT with a diode laser (CheseeTM Diode Laser, Wuhan, China ) at the FGG sites with a wavelength of 810 nm and output power of 0.1 W, for 60 s, with an energy density of 6 J/cm2 in the continuous wave mode (spot size:0.5 cm). The laser beam was directed perpendicularly toward the tissue in the noncontact mode. The laser was irradiated at the recipient sites immediately after surgery and 1, 3, 7, and 14 days later.
Device: CheseeTM Diode Laser · Other: Clinical examination
Free Gingival Graft (FGG)+Placebo Low Level Laser Therapy (PLLLT) + Clinical Examination The control group received PLLLT with a diode laser (CheseeTM Diode Laser, Wuhan, China ) same as test group without pushing the start button
Device: CheseeTM Diode Laser · Other: Clinical examination
low level laser therapy was utilized adjunct with free gingival graft.
The shrinkage of the graft area was calculated according to the differences between the graft area at baseline, 1st, 3rd, and 6th months. Epithelization was determined via bubbling test by using 3% hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) at 7, 14, 21, and 28 days after surgery.
Graft shrinkage
The shrinkage of the graft area was calculated according to the differences between the graft area at baseline, 1st, 3rd, and 6th months.
Time frame: 1-, 3-, and 6-months after FGG surgery
Epithelization
Epithelization was determined via bubbling test by using 3% hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). This test was carried out at 7, 14, 21, and 28 days after surgery.
Time frame: 7, 14, 21, and 28 days after FGG surgery
