Low-level laser therapy was successfully used to treat OFG in this case, and appears to be an efficient treatment for OFG when corticosteroid therapy is not enough.
OPEN FILERegardless of the limitations of this case series, PBM can be considered safe, time saving, and a promising approach for the management of the oral complications due to cancer therapy and the quality of life of cancer patients.
OPEN FILELLLT may be an alternative treatment for the relief of oral burning in patients with
OPEN FILEThe results of this study suggest that LLLT and ALA are efficient therapies in reducing burning mouth symptoms, with LLLT being more efficient than ALA.
OPEN FILEComparing the two groups, LLLT appeared to be superior in improving pain perception, but statistically only at 8 weeks after the end of the protocol proposed (P = 0.026). Based on this preliminary trial, LLLT is capable of reducing the symptoms of patients with BMS with a constant and long-lasting effect, experienced since the end of the first applications.
OPEN FILEConclusion: Majority of the studies showed that laser therapy seemed to be effective in reducing pain in BMS patients.
OPEN FILEFor determination of salivary levels of TNF-? and IL-6, ELISA (Sigma Immunochemicals, St. Louis, MO, USA) was performed to determine the salivary levels of TNF-? and IL-6. After 4 weeks of LLLT, the salivary levels of TNF-? and IL-6 in the experimental group decreased significantly (p < 0.001).
OPEN FILELow-level energy diode laser may be an effective treatment for burning mouth syndrome.
OPEN FILEConclusions: LLLT may be an alternative treatment for the relief of oral burning in patients with BMS.
OPEN FILEBased on this preliminary trial, LLLT is capable of reducing the symptoms of patients with BMS with a constant and long-lasting effect, experienced since the end of the first applications.
