Treatment is aimed at increasing salivary flow, although in most cases it remains palliative.\n                    <jats:bold>\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Materials and Methods:<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:bold>\n                    In this study, laser light from a pulsed Ga-As laser operating at 904\u2009nm was applied bilaterally on each salivary gland area: extraorally on the parotid and submandibular gland areas and intraorally on the sublingual gland area. The operational probe distance from the irradiated area was 0.5\u2009cm resulting in an irradiance of 246\u2009mW\/cm\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    . The exposure time was 120\u2009sec per daily treatment during 10 consecutive days. The average energy density per exposure was 29.5\u2009J\/cm\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    . The control group consisted of 16 patients who were treated with 15\u2009mL of a 2% citric acid solution applied as a mouth rinse for 30\u2009sec.\n                    <jats:bold>\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Results:<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:bold>\n                    The average difference in the amount of salivation (dQ-sal, mL\/min) before and after laser therapy increased linearly from dQ-sal\u2009=\u20090.05\u2009mL\/min on the first day, up to dQ-sal\u2009=\u20090.13\u2009mL\/min on the last (10th) day of therapy. In the control group, the average dQ-sal initially demonstrated a gradual increase, with a reversal of the trend toward the end of the therapy period and eventually yielding no correlation between the duration of therapy and dQ-sal.\n                    <jats:bold>\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Conclusion:<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:bold>\n                    The results of our study indicate that the effects of low-level laser therapy on salivary glands are not only stimulating, but also regenerative to a degree since the glandular response to the same amount of applied laser energy increased linearly over time.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1089\/pho.2010.2792","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,11,6]],"date-time":"2010-11-06T10:11:33Z","timestamp":1289038293000},"page":"171-175","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":67,"title":["The Effect of Low-Level Laser Therapy on Salivary Glands in Patients with Xerostomia"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"29","author":[{"given":"Bo\u017eana","family":"Lon\u010dar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Zagreb","place":["Croatia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marinka","family":"Mravak Stipeti\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Zagreb","place":["Croatia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marinka","family":"Bari\u010devi\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Zagreb","place":["Croatia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dubravko","family":"Risovi\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute Rudjer Bo\u0161kovi\u0107","place":["Croatia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","unstructured":"Grisius M.G.
