Abstract

Objective The goal of this study was to compare the effects of ibuprofen and low-level laser therapy in alleviating orthodontic pain observed after elastomeric separator placement (ESP) by means of the analysis of interleukin 1-beta (IL-1 beta) and substance P (SP) levels in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and visual analog scale (VAS).
