DANTAS, Euler Maciel et al. Analgesic Effect of GaAlAs Laser on Anesthetic Action. Rev. cir. traumatol. buco-maxilo-fac. [online]. 2011, vol.11, n.2, pp. 75-82. ISSN 1808-5210.

Porpuse: The aim of this study was to evaluate the low level laser capacity in reducing the pain during the anesthetic injection. Metodology: Sixty patient that would receive anesthesia in palate area were selected. Those were divided in three groups: the group I received irradiation with Gallium/Aluminium/Arsenide (GaAlAs) laser before the anesthesia, the group II received irradiation with the light curing unit device before the anesthesia (placebo) and the group III didn't receive treatment. The sensibility was registered through a numeric visual scale (NVS). Results: After the analysis of the results it can be ended that the GaAlAs low level laser, according the parameters used, promoted a pain reduction resulting from the anesthetic application in palate area, when previously used to the anesthetic action.
