Introduction: Recently, the positive effects of photobiomodulation (PBM) and nano-bone on bone regeneration have garnered significant attention. The purpose of the research was to assess the impact of PBM and nano-bone on the process of mandibular bone repair in mice.
Methods: A 4-mm diameter bone defect was created in the left mandibular angle of 24 mice separated into 4 equal groups: group I: control; group II: PBM by irradiation at 100 mW of a 980 nm diode laser for one minute (three sessions per week; day on and day off); group III: nano-bone; group IV: PBM with nano-bone. Every group was sectioned into 3 equal subgroups corresponding to the evaluation method period: (A) one week, (B) two weeks, and (C) four weeks. Histological examination was done with hematoxylin, eosin, and Masson’s Trichrome after one, two and four weeks for inflammation, bone defect coverage, vascularization within the newly formed bone, and new bone formation. A statistical analysis of the data was done, and the percentage values were presented using chi-square. The significance level was set at a P-value≤0.05 within all tests.
Results: In general, by histological examination of the mandibular bone defect of the rats, the intensity of inflammation was the least in group IV when compared with groups II and III and the control group at all evaluation periods (P<0.001). Also, group IV showed a high significant rise in the percentage of new bone formation following four weeks when compared with the control (P≤ 0.001) and groups II and III (P<0.001).
Conclusion: The present research results confirmed that the combination of PBM and nano-bone can aid in the repair of mandibular bone abnormalities. This animal study suggests that the use of PBM and nano-bone should be investigated further in clinical studies.
