[The effect of low-intensity radiation from a helium-neon laser on the alkaline phosphatase activity in an uncomplicated mandibular fracture and in traumatic osteomyelitis].

The osteal alkaline phosphatase (AP) activity was examined in 167 Wistar rats with uncomplicated regeneration and traumatic osteomyelitis of the mandible, exposed to low-intensity He-Ne laser. Laser exposure stimulated the bone AP activity in the animals with traumatic osteomyelitis and uncomplicated regeneration, confirming the efficacy of therapy with He-Ne laser.
