| Abstract | |
Low-level laser irradiation (LLLI) is a new methodology with proven clinical benefits in increased formation and decreased resorption of bone, however, the use of LLLI still needs to be clarified and standardized. Therefore, more studies are needed to analyze the effects of different parameters, such as wavelength, duration of application and number of sessions. This study aimed to assess the effects of LLLI on critical bone defects in rat calvaria used as an experimental model of osteoporosis. Light microscopy was used to analyze the quality of newly formed bone tissue and stereology was used to calculate the following parameters: tissue repair volume (Vtr - μm3), volume density of trabecular bone (Vvt), total volume of newly formed trabecular bone (Vtot - μm3), numerical density of osteocytes (Nvost - μm-3), total number of osteocytes (Ntoost), mean volume of osteocytes (Vnost - μm3), surface density of trabecular bone (Svt - μm-1) and area surface of trabecular bone (Sαt - μm2). The total amount of collagen was also examined (Ac - μm2). Fifty-four Wistar rats were subjected to bilateral ovariectomy. The bone defects were created in calvaria after 150 days. The animals were divided into 9 groups (n=6) and 24 hours after creating the defect, the treatment started with 780nm low intensity gallium-aluminum-arsenide (GaAlAs) laser: Groups 1, 2 and 3 (G1, G2 and G3) received the energy density of 0 J/cm2, 20 J/cm2 and 30 J/cm2 respectively, in 3 sessions; Groups 4, 5 and 6 (G4, G5 and G6) received 0 J/cm2, 20 J/cm2 and 30 J/cm2 respectively, in 6 sessions; Groups 7, 8 and 9 (G7, G8 and G9) received 0 J/cm2, 20 J/cm2 and 30 J/cm2 respectively, in 12 sessions. For the comparison between groups G2 and G1, the results obtained were significant for Vtr (p=0,023), Vvt (p=0,003), Vtot (p=0,04), Ntoost (p=0,048), Svt (p=0,000), Sαt (p=0,001) and Ac (p=0,000). For the comparison between G3 and G1, the results were significant for Vvt (p=0,002) and Vtot (p=0,02). For the comparison between G5 and G4, the results were significant for Svt (p=0,041) and Sαt (p=0,043) and for the comparison between G6 and G4, the results were significant for Vtr (p=0,005), Vvt (p=0,000), Vtot (p=0,000), Nvost (p=0,025), Ntoost (p=0,011), Svt (p=0,034), Sαt (p=0,028) and Ac (p=0,001). The comparison between G8 and G7 was significant for Sαt (p=0,047) and for the comparison between G9 and G7, the results were significant for Vtr (p=0,014), Vvt (p=0,000), Vtot (p=0,000), Nvost (p=0,025), Ntoost (p=0,024), Svt (p=0,042), Sαt (p=0,014) and Ac (p=0,023). In conclusion, there was new bone formation in the groups that received doses of 20 and 30 J/cm2 when compared with the respective control groups, but over time, the dose of 30 J/cm2 showed better stereological parameters when compared to 20 J/cm2 (AU) | |
