Abstract
GARRIGO ANDREU, MARÍA I. and VALIENTE ZALDIVAR, CAROLINA J. Empleo de la terapia láser en la reparación ósea periapical. Rev Cubana Estomatol [online]. 1997, vol.34, n.1, pp. 11-14. ISSN 1561-297X.
The biostimulant effect of low energy laser radiation on the bone tissue has been tested in cell cultures and experimental animals. The objective of our investigation was to evaluate this effect on the periapical bone reparation. 40 patients received attention and underwent radicular, pulpar, and laser treatment. The acupuncture points technique in the injured area and the laserpuncture were used as part of the laser terapy with energetic depots of 15 J/cm2 and 7 J/cm2, respectively. The results show that the processes of periapical bone reparation were accelerated, since in 67.5 % of these patients it took place in less than 6 months.
