title: The effect of low-power lasers on intraoral wound healing.
abstract: Two types of helium-neon lasers were examined for their effectiveness in increasing the rate of wound healing by biostimulation. The diode helium-neon laser (670 nm) was as effective as the gas helium-neon laser (632 nm) in significantly speeding the rate of healing in rats. Thermal properties of low-power lasers and a controlled clinical case of helium-neon laser treatment of human aphthous stomatitis lesions were reported.
