Brief summary
Peripheral nerve injury is a major concern that drastically affects the patient's quality of life. Nowadays, several treatment options are available, including medical treatments, surgical intervention, and others. However, the trending photobiomodulation effect of laser therapy is attracting many dental professionals due to its promising results on nerve rehabilitation. The study is intended to assess and compare laser photobiomodulation using red and infra-red diode lasers on the repair of nerve injury in the maxillofacial region.
