Laser Versus Ultrasound on Bone Density Recuperation After Distraction Osteogenesis-A Cone-Beam Computer Tomographic Analysis

The results of this study suggest an acceleration of bone mineral density after laser and ultrasound irradiation. Ultrasound irradiation showed the greatest effects and the laser power positively influenced the recuperation of the bone density on the side opposite its application, causing a cross reaction or even exacerbating the inherent action of ultrasound irradiation.
