The surgical disjunction of the maxilla in indicated for the treatment of the transverse maxillary deficiency in adults, especially in cases of a large discrepancy in width between the maxilla and mandible. This surgery is normally performed in a hospital and the postoperative period is accompanied by pain, edema and paresthesia, which affect a large portion of the face. Photobiomodulatio…
Effect of laser therapy on gene expression and production of cytokines, chemokines and growth factors involved in muscle repairThe interactions between muscle and the macrophages that invade this tissue after the occurrence of injury are crucial to the repair process. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) has been widely used in clinical and experimental settings for the treatment of muscle inju…
Background:Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) has been shown to modulate the inflammatory process without adverse effects , by reducing pain and swelling and promoting the repair of damaged tissues. Because pain, swelling and muscle spasm are complications found in virtually all patients following oral surgery for the removal of impacted teeth, this model has been widely used to evaluate the …

The occurrence of a muscle injury triggers a complex repair process. Macrophages have a crucial role in the initial and later steps of muscle repair in which are characterized by a pro-inflammatory (M1) and anti-inflammatory (M2) profile, respectively. Concomitantly, myogenic precursor cells (MPC) need to be activated to differentiate in to muscle cells that will relace the injured tissue…
The interactions between tissue and macrophages that invade after an injury happens are crucial to the evolution of its repair. On the other hand, low intensity laser (LLLT) has been extensively used in the treatment of tissue damage in different clinical and experimental contexts; however, little is known about its effects on macrophages. The objectives of this project are to evaluate th…
