Over the last few years, several studies have investigated the effect of laser treatment on the replantation of avulsed teeth. We conducted this study to systematically analyse and assess the outcomes and quality of these studies.
Using the keywords 'laser', 'tooth', and 'replantation', two investigators conducted an electronic search of the PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase, ISI Web of Knowledge and Google Scholar databases. Any studies not meeting the inclusion criteria were excluded. The focused question was 'Does laser treatment influence the outcomes of tooth replantation?'
Nine studies were included and assessed in this review. In the majority of the selected studies, laser treatment had a positive outcome on preventing root resorption and in promoting periodontal regeneration. However, only three studies were given a quality score of 'medium', while six were marked as 'low'.
Laser irradiation may reduce root resorption and favour periodontal regeneration following replantation of the avulsed tooth. However, more well-designed long-term animal and human studies are needed before lasers can be used clinically to improve the outcomes for replanted teeth.
在过去几年中，多项研究探讨了激光治疗对脱位牙再植的影响。我们开展本研究以系统分析和评估这些研究的结果及质量。
两名研究者使用关键词“激光”“牙齿”和“再植”，对PubMed、MEDLINE、Embase、ISI Web of Knowledge和谷歌学术数据库进行电子检索。排除所有不符合纳入标准的研究。核心问题为“激光治疗是否会影响牙齿再植的结果？”
本综述纳入并评估了9项研究。在大多数所选研究中，激光治疗在预防牙根吸收和促进牙周再生方面有积极效果。然而，只有3项研究质量评分为“中等”，6项被标记为“低”。
激光照射可能减少牙根吸收，并有利于脱位牙再植后的牙周再生。然而，在激光能够临床用于改善再植牙的预后之前，需要更多设计良好的长期动物和人体研究。
