Abstract

The paper shows the advantages of a self-made scanned laser system for LLLT (Low Level Laser Therapy) treatments, and makes a comparison between the results obtained with LLLT and classic therapy methods. Usual laser machines are equipped with a pen laser system. This system is well known but very unhandy because the physician must hold the pen in place for the entire time of the procedure. Treatment times may last even 15 minutes, time on which the doctor is unnecessarily, permanently, involved in the procedure. With the new built scanned laser system the time in handling is reduced to maximum 2 or 3 minutes, independently of the total application time of the procedure. The scanned laser system consists of 3 major parts: the multi articulated holder arm, optical scanned system, and command console. Necessary PIC software was custom written for this device. Scanning and stopping are PIC controlled with no involving of the practicing doctor. The laser treatment as revealed in this study is very well tolerated by the patients with very good therapeutical results..
