Light-Activated Tissue Regeneration & Therapy III
Following on from the excellent ASP meeting last week I am excited to announce another one of my favourite LLLT / Photobiomodulation / “Cold Laser” meetings – The Light-Activated Tissue Regeneration & Therapy III conference. This meeting is initiated by Ron Waynant from the Electro-Optics Branch of the FDA. These are week long meetings, usually held in a remote / isolated location, where speakers and delegates dress casually, have longer presentations than usual followed by long Q&A sessions and long breaks so lots of interaction is accomplished. If you want to talk, listen, eat, sleep LLLT / photobiomodulation for 5 days then this is for you.
11-15 July 2010, Sheraton Hotel and Conference Center, Burlington Vermont
Call for Papers
Abstract Deadline for Oral Presentations: January 15, 2010
Abstract Deadline for Poster Presentations: May 1, 2010

The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of extraoral and intraoral low-level laser therapies (LLLT) on postoperative trismus and oedema following the removal of mandibular third molars. Forty-eight patients who were to undergo surgical removal of their lower third molars were studied. Patients were randomly allocated to one … Continue reading

Industry sponsors wanted for ASP meeting Rochester NY Aug 7&8
Industry sponsors wanted
See conference announcement link below
$1,000 gets you:
* A mention in the program
* Link from the ASP web site which will be good for your Google ranking
* 5 guests for the event
* but no booths
At the moment it is just Photothera and THOR (so far as I know)
I think that the ASP could turn out to be a very influential group for LLLT

LLLT Literature Watch May 2009
This edition finds 41 LLLT research papers on including Post Exercise Muscle Damage, fracture healing, cardicardioprotection and acne.

Abstract Background Data and Objective: There is anecdotal evidence that low-level laser therapy (LLLT) may affect the development of muscular fatigue, minor muscle damage, and recovery after heavy exercises. Although manufacturers claim that cluster probes (LEDT) maybe more effective than single-diode lasers in clinical settings, there is a lack of head-to-head comparisons in controlled trials. This study was designed to compare the effect of single-diode LLLT and cluster LEDT before heavy exercise. Materials and Methods: This was a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind cross-over study. Young male volleyball players (n = 8) were enrolled and asked … Continue reading
