Evaluation of the effects of LLLT on biomechanical properties of tibial diaphysis in two rat models of experimental osteoporosis by a three point bending test.

Osteoporosis (OP) is a disease which causes bone loss and fractures, leading to severe pain and deformity. This study has aimed to assess the effects of pulsed wave low-level laser therapy (PW LLLT) on cortical bone in two experimental models of OP in rats. There were four ovariectomized (OVX-d) groups and four dexamethasone-treated groups.
