The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of low-level laser (LLL) irradiation on the turnover of fibronectin and collagen type I in periodontal tissue during tooth movement in rats by immunohistochemistry. Thirty male Sprague–Dawley rats aged 15 weeks were assigned to either an experimen...
