|---|---|
| Maxillary premolar missing. Timepoint: Group A received LED phototherapy (Biolux Ltd, Vancover, Canada) with continuous wave length of 620 nm, 20 min/day for 21 days, after sinus lifting procedure. After 6 months, the sinus graft sites were re-opened to insertion of dental implants and bony biopsies were taken simultaneously. Method of measurement: A blind examiner (maxillofacial pathologist) analyzed each sample with a light microscope. In histological evaluations of these cases, following items were examined and graded as mentioned below:Degree of inflammation: defined as the following numbers: 1 = absence of inflammation, 2 = moderate inflammation and 3 = severe inflammation. Formation and bone quality: defined as the following numbers: 1 = connective tissue containing blood vessels, fibroblasts, macrophages, collagen fibers, 2 = dense connective tissue with the presence of large number of cells that differentiate into bone tissue which represents the initiation of bone formation, 3 = formation of new bone tissue, dense connective tissue, 4 = obvious bony tissues. The density of collagen fibers (maturation): it defined as the following numbers: 1 = absence of collagen fibers, 2 = average density of collagen fibers, 3 = high density of collagen fibers without a regular structure (assessed by using polarized light), 4 = extreme density of collagen fibers with a definite structure (assessed by using polarized light) based on a pathologist's judgment after viewing all the samples at ×100 magnification. | — |
