Objectives: Evaluate the effect on the application of low level laser therapy, in patients that have been previously
intervened with a sagittal ramus split osteotomy and present neurosensory impairment due to this surgery, com

pared with placebo.
Study
D
esign: This preliminary study is a randomized clinical trial, with an experimental group (n=17) which
received laser light and a control group (n=14), placebo. All participants received laser applications, divided after
surgery in days 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 14, 21 and 28. Neurosensory impairment was evaluated clinically with 5 tests; visual
analog scale (VAS) for pain and sensitivity, directional and 2 point discrimination, thermal discrimination, each
one of them performed before and after surgery on day 1, and 1, 2 and 6 months. Participants and results evalu

ator were blinded to intervention. Variables were described with absolute frequencies, percentages and medians.
Ordinal and dichotomous variables were compared with Mann Whitney's and Fisher's test respectively.
Results: Results demonstrate clinical improvement in time, as well as in magnitude of neurosensory return for
