Pain, analyses for time and irradiation parameters: 24 treatment groups reported from 20 studies. A. Red visible light wavelengths, 550 through 660 nm. B. Near-infrared wavelengths, 780 through 1,064 nm. AlGaAs: Aluminum gallium arsenide. AsGaAl: Arsenide gallium aluminium. C: Contact. E: Extraoral. GaAlAs: Gallium aluminum arsenide. GaAs: Gallium arsenide. I: Intraoral. NC: Noncontact. Nd:YAG: Neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet. * –: A value that cannot be derived from other reported values. † Indicates value that was initially misreported and corrected by the authors’ calculations. ‡ Indicates value was not reported in the literature and was calculated by the authors with values given in the article.
