dc.descriptionLow-intensity laser therapy (LILT) has been studied in many fields of Dentistry, but, to our knowledge, it is the first time that its effects on orthodontic movement velocity in humans are investigated. In our study, eleven patients were recruited for a two-month study. One half of the upper arcade was considered control group and received mechanical activation of the canine teeth every thirty days. The opposite half received the same mechanical activation and was also irradiated with a diode laser (?=780nm) on ten points around the root, during 10s with 20 mW, 5 J/cm2, on four days of each month. Data of the biometrical progress of both groups were statistically compared. All patients showed significant higher retraction velocity of the canines on the laser treated side when compared to the control. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that LILT does accelerate human teeth movement and could therefore considerably shorten the whole treatment duration.
