Sažetak
In medicine and dentistry, functional nerve recovery after trauma or surgical procedures is still hard to manage. We studied the use of low level laser therapy (LLT) in seven patients with chin paraesthesia after extraction of third molars. Laser therapy was performed with a galium- aluminum- arsenide (GaAlAs) laser wavelength of 830 nm. Each session was performed on every working day and lasted for 3 min (total number of 10 days).In three patients there were 20 sessions. Additionally, every patient was also given vitamin B1, B6 and B12 injections (Neurobion, Germany) every second day (total number of 9 injections). In all seven patients partial improvement was noticed however in none of the patients there was a complete remission. Therefore, we might suggest LLLT as an adjunct therapy.
