Effect of 904nm Infrared Laser on Bone Metabolism in Rats: A Pilot Study
Study Overview
- Description: This pilot study aimed to evaluate the effects of infrared laser radiation on bone metabolism in rats.
- Source: PubMed
Summary
- Participants: 6 Wislander rats, with a circular defect created in each parietal bone.
- Intervention: The experimental group received infrared laser radiation on the left defect, while the control group was sham-irradiated.
- Methods: After 28 days, bone metabolism was evaluated using Technetium-99m methylene diphosphonate scintigraphy.
- Conclusion: The results showed no difference in bone metabolic activity between the laser-treated and control defects. This pilot study indicates that the infrared laser has no significant effect on bone metabolism in rats.
