Effects of Low-Level Laser Therapy in Orthodontic Patients on Immediate Inflammatory Response After Mini-Implants Insertion: A Preliminary Report.

Background: The primary stability of a mini-implant is crucial to treatment sequence since most orthodontic mini-implant failures occur at an early stage. Irritation or inflammation of peri-implant tissues has been related to decreasing mini-implant success.

Purpose: This study evaluates the effect of low-level laser therapy on initial inflammation after orthodontic mini-implants installation.
