The present results indicate that LLLT is an effective and harmless modality for management of erosive-atrophic OLP.
OPEN FILEWithin the limits of the present RCT, it is indicated that PDT and LLLT are effective in the treatment of erosive-atrophic forms of OLP in adult patients.
OPEN FILEThe limited present evidence suggests that PDT is an effective treatment option for the management of OLP by reduction in pain, burning and decrease in the size of the lesions.
OPEN FILEDue to its analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and biostimulating effects, low-level laser therapy (LLLT) has been widely used for oral disorders, such as oral lichen planus (OLP), xerostomia, recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS), herpes labialis, burning mouth syndrome (BMS), and oral mucositis (OM). Although information on the use of the laser for some lesions has already been consolidated, further research is needed, especially randomized, controlled clinical trials with long-term follow-up.
OPEN FILEPBMT can be effective (as an alternative treatment or in combination with other therapies) in improving symptoms or in the complete treatment of oral diseases.
