| description | Background: The aim of this RCT is to show the effectiveness of laser technology for the exposure of palatally impacted canines, using a CO<sub>2</sub> or diode laser, and to evaluate the possible bio-stimulation effect of the laser on the spontaneous eruption of the canine. Methods: This study was carried out on a sample of 27 patients, divided randomly into three groups: treated with a CO<sub>2</sub> laser (Group A), treated with a diode laser (Group B), and treated with a cold blade (Group C). Monitoring was performed at 1, 8, and 16 weeks after surgery, through photo and digital scans performed with a CS3500 intraoral scanner. Results: It was found that the average total eruptions are 4.55 mm for Group A, 5.36 mm for Group B, and 3.01 mm for Group C. The difference in eruption between groups A and B is not significant. Comparing the laser groups with the control group, it has emerged that the difference in eruption is statistically significant. Conclusion: A significant tooth movement was observed in both Groups A and B. The response of the canine to the bio-stimulation of the laser can be considered effective, resulting in a statistically significant difference between the study groups and the control group. Both lasers have the same bio-stimulatory action on the eruption of canines. |
