Study Summary
Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is a well-studied technique that has been shown to improve recovery time and reduce pain and swelling in patients undergoing surgery, including orthognathic surgery, and has no known negative effects. This study will use two groups with patients randomly assigned to either the study group, receiving LLLT, or one receiving a placebo treatment, after they have lower jaw surgery. Measurements will be taken at 24 hours, 1 week, 2 week, 3 week, 4 week, 5 week, and 6 week post-op exams to check pain, swelling and nerve function, and the two groups will be compared to see if the LLLT group has any difference
Primary Outcome
IAN function for soft stimuli was assessed by brushing a cotton swab along a 2cm path of the skin of the mandible and lower lip in 8 regions along the lower jaw. Regions right and left 1, 2 and 3 are on the skin of lower face, 1 cm apart, starting on the midline, and right and left region 4 is the lower lip, separated at the midline. Right and left regions were identified as R1, R2, R3, R4 and L1, L2, L3, and L4, respectively. Patients responded as to whether they were able to feel the cotton sw
