About

The objective of this study will be to evaluate the effect of photobiomodulation on the acceleration of the orthodontic movement of molar verticalization and its effect on pain and inflammation of the periodontal tissues.

Thirty-four healthy patients aged 30-60 years, who need to recover the prosthetic space for oral rehabilitation after loss of the posterior inferior dental elements and inclination of the adjacent element, will be randomly divided into 2 groups: G1 (control group) - verticalization by mini-implant + PBM (photobiomodulation) simulation (placebo); G2 (experimental group) - verticalization by mini-implant + PBM. The movements will occur with the aid of mini-implants and elastomeric chains ligatures. The PBM will occur with diode laser application, 660 nm (nanometers), 100mW (milliwatts), receiving 1J(joule) per point, 10s (seconds), 10 points (5 per buccal and 5 per lingual) and radiant exposure of 25 J / cm². The crevicular gingival fluid (FGC) will be collected to analyzed Interleukins IL1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10(Interleukins) and TNF-α (tumor necrosis factor) by ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay). Radiographic shots will be taken each month to ascertain the amount (in degrees) of verticalization. To evaluate the pain, the Visual Analogue Scale will be used in all the consultations, and to evaluate the quality of life, the OHIP-14 (oral health impact profile) questionnaire will be applied. Analgesics will be given and the number of drugs will be counted. If the data are normal, they will be submitted to the Student's t-test. The data will be presented as means ± SD(standard deviation) and the value of p will be defined as <0.05.

Full description

Loss of a dental element can generate several repercussions in the stomatognathic system. According to the latest survey by the Ministry of Health, in 2010, Brazilian adults had, on average, 7 missing teeth. This loss may lead to movement of the adjacent teeth and the antagonist, which would make prosthetic rehabilitation harder to do. Anchoring systems, such as mini-implants, have been increasingly used as a treatment option because they act with heavy but controlled forces and without side effects. Recent studies have shown that photobiomodulation (PBM) can accelerate orthodontic movement in the molar intrusion. The objective of this study will be to evaluate the effect of photobiomodulation on the acceleration of the orthodontic movement of molar verticalization and its effect on pain and inflammation of the periodontal tissues.

Thirty-four healthy patients aged 30-60 years, who need to recover the prosthetic space for oral rehabilitation after loss of the posterior inferior dental elements and inclination of the adjacent element, will be randomly divided into 2 groups: G1 (control group) - verticalization by mini-implant + PBM simulation (placebo); G2 (experimental group) - verticalization by mini-implant + PBM. The movements will occur with the aid of mini-implants and elastomeric chains ligatures. The PBM will occur with diode laser application, 660 nm, 100mW, receiving 1J per point, 10s, 10 points (5 per buccal and 5 per lingual) and radiant exposure of 25 J / cm². The orthodontic forces of verticalization (corresponding to any exchange of elastomeric ligation) will be applied every 30 days and the PBM will be applied immediately, 3 and 7 days of each month, for a period of 3 months. The crevicular gingival fluid (FGC) will be collected on the 1st, 3rd and 7th days after the first activation, and then on the 3rd day of the following two months. Interleukins IL1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10 and TNF-α will be analyzed by ELISA. Radiographic shots will be taken each month to ascertain the amount (in degrees) of verticalization. To evaluate the pain, the Visual Analogue Scale will be used in all the consultations, and to evaluate the quality of life, the OHIP-14 questionnaire will be applied. Analgesics will be given and the number of drugs will be counted. If the data are normal, they will be submitted to the Student's t-test. The data will be presented as means ± SD and the value of p will be defined as <0.05.

Control (placebo)

Placebo Comparator group

Description:

Patients in Control will receive the photobiomodulation placebo,application, but with the laser off. Procedures will be performed immediately after the application of forces (placement of elastic bandages) on the tooth, as described: Simulations will be performed with the same laser.This will require 10 seconds of application simulation per point. As 10 points will be simulated, it will take 100 seconds for this simulation.5 points lingual and 5 points at vestibular

Experimental:

Experimental group

Description:

Experimental: Molar verticalization + PBM (n = 17 + 3) - patients will receive laser treatment (photobiomodulation) in order to modulate orthodontic movement and act on inflammation and pain. The procedures will be performed immediately after the application of forces (placement of elastic bandages) on the tooth, as described:The irradiations will be performed with the red diode laser ( = 660 nm) with 100 milliwatts output power The power of the device will be 100miliWatts and the wavelength used will be 808 nanometers (± 10nm). The optical fiber diameter of the device is 600 micrometer, therefore a spot (area) of 0.002826 centimeter2. The energy delivered per point will be 1Joule. This will require 10 seconds of application per point. As 10 points will be irradiated, the total application time will be 100 seconds and the total energy delivered will be 10Joule. The energy density will be 25 Joule / cm2 and the power density will be 35.38 Watt / cm2
