The purpose of this study was to evaluate the behavior of the alveolar bone on bone remodeling under physiological load and on after rapid midpalatal suture expansion during a 14-day period, with and without low-level laser irradiation and to compare images obtained by conventional radiographic technique with microtomografias computed. The laser device was a gallium-aluminum-arsenide (GaAlAs) diode laser (830 m; 100 mW, continuous wave, 126 J/cm2, 29 seconds) applied to the midpalatal suture of 6-week-old male Wistar rats. Sixty-five rats were assigned in a control group (CG) containing 5 rats and two experimental I and II (EG I and EG II), with 30 rats each, both EG submitted to expansion immediately, while the EG II was irradiated pos expansion immediately. The EG I and II were divided into periods of immediate midpalatal suture expansion, 6 hours, 1, 2, 7 and 14 days). . Two samples of each period of CG and EG were radiographed (conventional) and processed to capture images in micro-CT scanner (Scancem Medical, Zurik, Switzerland) with 24kV of energy and 3.8 mm in spatial resolution and the rest were processed for are analyzed histologically stained with hematoxylin and eosin and Masson's trichrome.The results were evaluated histologically and radiographically. Bone trabeculae recently formed from the bone borders of the suture were observed in the periods of 2, 7 and 14 days of EG II, and 7 and 14 days of EG I. The present experiment demonstrated that the osteoblastic activity increases the osteosynthesis activity in a more manner after low-level laser irradiation. However, more studies in the field of molecular biology are necessary to determine its effects at cellular level. The computed microtomographs provided a more detailed analysis of midpalatal suture opening and its repair by bone tissue deposition than conventional radiographs.
