In this study, we selected seven relevant studies involving 306 patients with subacute or acute Bell’s palsy from PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Scopus before June 5, 2024. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) efficacy for facial nerve paralysis was assessed in seven studies. Two studies lacked standard deviation data, precluding meta-analysis. Sunnybrook scores favored LLLT (mean difference [MD] = 17.42, 95 % confidence interval [CI]: 4.00–30.84, p = 0.011). However, Facial Disability Index results showed no significant difference (MD = 12.16, 95 % CI: −0.60 to 24.92, p = 0.061) between LLLT and control. LLLT, particularly with wavelengths of 830 or 850 nm administered over 6 weeks, may lead to beneficial outcomes. Combining LLLT with exercise therapy appears to be effective.LLLT demonstrates promise as a management option for Bell’s palsy, potentially offering advantages over other treatments, particularly in patients with comorbidities, such as diabetes. Phototherapy devices currently used in Japan offer non-invasive treatment with minimal patient burden.

Duplicate dentures are effectively used for impression making and bite registration when fabricating new dentures, thereby reducing the number of clinic visits and treatment time. Duplicate denture can also be used as temporary or new dentures. Older people in whom various adaptive abilities have declined, may find it difficult to adjust to new dentures and experience stress, even if the shape is appropriate. Duplicate dentures, which reproduces the shape of old dentures that they are used to, have the advantage of being more familiar to older people and less stressful. When manufacturing duplicate dentures, digital methods such as milling and three-dimensional printing are superior to conventional methods regarding working time and cost.
