KIMURA-FUJIKAMI, Takao; CABRERA-MUNOZ, Ma.Lourdes e DEL VALLE-ESPINOZA, Alejandro. Laser Therapy in Orthognatic Surgery. Gac. Méd. Méx [online]. 2005, vol.141, n.1, pp.27-33. ISSN 2696-1288.
This study describes the prevalence of patients with dentofacial deformities attended in the Maxillofacial Surgery Department of Hospital de Especialidades del Centro Médico Nacional Siglo XXI of the IMSS, during January to December 2002. Twenty-six patients received postoperative laser therapy in the right area of the mandible ramus, after bilateral sagittal modified osteotomy (BSMKSO). The results with laser therapy showed less pain and edema in comparison other patients without this therapy. The results were carried out after 24 hours, 3 days, 8 days and 15 days, and after 10 treatments of laser therapy. The X-Ray and biopsy showed bone healing 30 days, six and eight weeks after orthognatic surgery procedures.
