Low-level laser therapy: A novel therapeutic approach to temporomandibular disorder - A randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial.

Aims And Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the effectiveness of low-level laser therapy (LLLT)/low intensity laser therapy (LILT) in the management of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain in a random and double-blind research design.

Materials And Methods: TMJ pain patients, randomly assigned into two groups: Group 1 (n = 20) and Group 2 (n = 20), received 2-3 treatments per week for 8 sessions of active LILT with diode laser (gallium aluminum arsenide, 810 nm, 0.1 W).

Low-level laser therapy versus 5% amlexanox: a comparison of treatment effects in a cohort of patients with minor aphthous ulcers.

Objective: The aim of the study was to compare the treatment effects of 5% amlexanox and low-level laser therapy (LLLT) in a cohort of patients who experienced minor aphthous stomatitis.

Study Design: A clinical trial was performed between 2012 and 2014 on 50 participants having minor aphthous ulcers. Group A participants were treated with amlexanox oral paste (lexanox 5% oral paste), and group B participants were treated with LLLT.

Papillon-Lefevre Syndrome In An Adolescent Female: A Case Study.

Papillon-Lefevre Syndrome (PLS) is a rare inherited autosomal-recessive condition with one-third of the patients' showing consanguinity of the parents. Lesions are characterised by palmar-plantar hyperkeratosis and hyperhidrosis. Early onset of periodonditis, severe periodontal destruction in both primary and permanent dentitions, and calcification of the duramater form the three important features of this disease.
