Effect Of Low Level Laser Therapy on Tooth Movement,Gingival,Periodontal Tissue And Pain In Fixed Orthodontic Treatment

To study the analgesic effect of Low- Level Laser Therapy, numerical rating scale (NRS) will be used (Bertl, 2012). This scale ranges from 0 to 10 where 0 denotes no pain and 10 signify unbearable pain. NRS scale is valid, reliable and easier to be used by patients as compared to other similar scales like VAS (visual analogue scale) (Brunelli, 2010).

The examination was performed by using a blunt probe (Löe, 1963).Measurement Zero healthy condition and rating at 3 shows severity of disease Score Criteria 0.No inflammation
Mild inflammation, slight change in color, slight edema, no bleeding on probing (Mild Gingivitis)
Moderate inflammation, moderate glazing, redness, bleeding on probing (Moderate Gingivitis).
Severe inflammation, marked redness and hypertrophy, ulceration, tendency to spontaneous bleeding (Severe Gingivitis)

BOP tendency will be registered 20 seconds after probing. The following are the codes which will form the basis of the assessment for BOP (Lang, 1990) 0. Absent (on probing there is no bleeding)
1. Present (Bleeding after 20s of probing)

It is measured by the distance between the cemento-enamel junction (CEJ) and thegingival margin (GM). (Armitage, 2004) Following is the classification of CAL Slight = 1-2 mm, Moderate = 3-4 mm, Severe = ≥ 5mm)

The PD will be measured to the nearest millimeter on the scale of the periodontal probe (Badersten, 1990). WHO Probe (CPITN Probe): The tip of the probe has a 0.5 mm ball at the tip and millimeter marking at 3.5, 8.5 and 11.5 mm and the color coding are 3.5 to 5.5 mm.

The impressions for study models for measurement of tooth movement will be obtained from both groups consisted of Class I malocclusion with mild crowding patients treated orthodontically without extractions and patients with moderate irregularity scale of the index will be 2-4 according to Little's Irregularity Index.

Still in the process of registration of study and ethical approval so want to share study on later stages

Surgical Wound, Healed

Patients will return for weekly follow-up evaluations the first four weeks following surgery and then will return for a final evaluation eight weeks postoperatively. Incision dressings will be changed by the investigator or the investigator's nursing staff at each weekly visit to assess for incision closure and post-surgical wound complications.

Patient & Observer Scar Assessment Scale consists of 2 scales; one that the investigator completes and one that the subject completes. The investigator rates vascularization, pigmentation, thickness relief, and pliability on five 10-point numeric scales, with "normal skin" on the left pole and "worst scar imaginable" on the right pole. Patients rate their scar pain & itching, and scar appearance on six 10-point numeric scales, with "no, no complaints" on the left pole and "yes, worst imaginable" on the right pole. Individual items from both scales are summed with higher scores representing poorer scars and lower scores representing scars more closely resembling normal skin. The total score range of the observer scale component is 5 to 50. The total score range of the patient scale component is 6 to 60. The lowest scores, 5 and 6, respectively, reflect normal skin.

The number of dressing changes will be counted by the investigator or study staff.

Patients will rate the odor of their wound using a Visual Analog Scale that consists of 10-cm(100-mm) line with the descriptor "no odor" positioned at the left pole and the descriptor "extremely offensive odor" positioned at the right pole. The lowest score, 0, reflects no wound odor, whereas a score of 10cm/100mm indicates extremely offensive wound odor.

Patients will rate their pain associated with the dressing changes using a Visual Analog Scale, as described by Springer BD et al, Am J Orthopedics, 2015. The Visual Analog Scale consists of a 10-cm (100-mm) line with the descriptor "no pain" positioned at the left pole and the descriptor "worst pain imaginable" positioned at the right pole. The lowest score, 0, reflects no pain, whereas a score of 10/100 indicates worst pain imaginable.

Patients will rate their satisfaction of their ability to perform activities of daily living, including ability to perform personal hygiene activities, ability to change clothes, ability to sit comfortably, and ability to sleep comfortably, using a Visual Analog Scales, as described by Springer et al, Am J Orthopedics, 2015. For each of the 4 satisfaction measures, patients will rate their satisfaction on the scale that consists of a 10-cm (100-mm) line, with the descriptor completely unsatisfied" on the left pole and the descriptor "completely satisfied" on the right pole. These 4 satisfaction measures will be averaged for a composite satisfaction measure. An average score of 10/100 would indicate the patient is completely satisfied, whereas an average of 0 would indicate the patient is completely unsatisfied.

Investigator or study staff will rate the difficulty of the dressing changes using a Visual Analog Scale that consists of 10-cm(100-mm) line with the descriptor "no difficulty" positioned at the left pole and the descriptor "extreme difficulty" positioned at the right pole. The lowest score, 0, reflects no difficulty with dressing changes, whereas a score of 10cm/100mm indicates most difficulty with the dressing changes.

After extraction of the tooth, the facial/buccal bone thickness will be measured with calipers to the nearest millimeter.

This measurement is made after the tooth is extracted and measured with a periodontal probe to the nearest millimeter

A disclosing solution such is painted on all exposed tooth surfaces. After the patient has rinsed, the operator (using an explorer or a tip of a probe) examines each stained surface for soft accumulations at the dentogingival junction. When found, they are recorded by making a dash/red color in the appropriate spaces on the record form. Those surfaces, which do not have soft accumulations at the dentogingival junction, are not recorded.
