New LLLT protocol to speed up the bone healing process-histometric and immunohistochemical analysis in rat calvarial bone defect.

What the authors concluded

The results suggest LLLT using the protocol 2 hastened the bone healing process in the early periods after surgery." Comment: At 45 days, there was no difference between the groups, but at 15 days, the amount of newly formed bone seemed to be a little bit higher in the laser groups. Comment: It seems that spot/beam size wasn't reported in this study.

Devices that emit this wavelength

Matched on wavelength within 15nm, since LED bins vary by roughly that much and a tighter match would be false precision. Where we have an irradiance figure, the session length is the time needed to reach this study's dose of 16 J/cm² at that intensity.

Matching a wavelength is not the same as reproducing a trial. Session times assume the device's published irradiance is accurate at the distance it was measured, which on brand-claim figures is often optimistic. Where a device publishes both a peak and an average we use the average, and where it publishes a falloff curve we use the lowest figure, so these times run long rather than short. Clinical protocols also control for spot size, contact and skin type in ways a home device cannot.
