Periodontal flap surgery was performed on 60 sites. The test site was randomly determined for laser irradiation, and was irradiated by a sweeping motion of 660\u2009nm laser (25\u2009mW, 4.5\u2009J) for 3\u2009min for 3 consecutive days. The control site served as a placebo. Although the laser was used in a similar motion in the control sites, it was not activated postoperatively. A visual analogue scale (VAS) and verbal rating scale (VRS) for pain and DH were recorded for both sites in each patient, on the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th days following flap surgery.\n                    <jats:bold>\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Results:<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:bold>\n                    There was statistically significant decrease in both DH and pain in the laser-irradiated site on the 7th day following periodontal flap surgery, as compared with the control site (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt;0.05).\n                    <jats:bold>\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Conclusions:<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:bold>\n                    Postoperative DH and pain following periodontal surgery can be reduced by using low-level laser therapy.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1089\/pho.2014.3802","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,12,11]],"date-time":"2014-12-11T15:37:07Z","timestamp":1418312227000},"page":"700-706","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Effect of Low-Level Laser Therapy in Reducing Dentinal Hypersensitivity and Pain Following Periodontal Flap Surgery"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"32","author":[{"given":"Shreya","family":"Doshi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"M.
