Application of low-level laser irradiation (LLLI) and rhBMP-2 in critical bone defect of ovariectomized rats: histomorphometric evaluation.

What the authors concluded

In Group I, when the laser was used alone and in Group VI, when the laser was used with monoolein gel, the results were statistically similar, resulting in new bone tissue in both groups. The results of this study are consistent with the findings of Renno et al. (8) who used low-level laser therapy with the same dose of this study (120 J/cm2 ) and found that LLLI was able to prevent bone loss.
