“…An in vivo study in dogs indicated that hydrogen peroxide alone or in combination with heat caused alterations in odontoblasts and deposition of dentin, 35 these factors can cause hemorrhage and inflammation in pulp and consequently, tooth sensitivity. Low‐intensity lasers have shown anti‐inflammatory, analgesic, and tissue regeneration effects in pulp hyperemia processes, and it is an important therapeutic auxiliary in cases of dentinal hypersensitivity, 26,36,37 nevertheless, its use as a desensitizing agent during bleaching procedures needs to be further investigated.…”

“…Dentin hypersensitivity is a common occurrence in sites of gingival recession caused by exposure of dentinal tubules to the oral environment . The pain generated ranges from mild to severe after physical (cold, heat) and/or mechanical (mainly toothbrushing trauma) stimuli at the exposed area, but it can also be triggered by chemical or osmotic stimuli . The average prevalence of dental hypersensitivity varies from 8.9% to 15% in the Western adult population , but there are reports computing a prevalence of 74% of the total population and of up to 98% of patients after periodontal therapy .…”

About 50 years ago, lasers started to be used in periodontal treatment following evidence that wounds produced in animals healed more quickly after being irradiated with low-intensity lasers. Increased production of growth factors, stimulated mainly by red and infrared lasers, may participate in this process by influencing the behavior of various types of cells. High-intensity lasers have been used as an alternative to nonsurgical periodontal therapy in root biomodification and to reduce dentin hypersensivity; low-intensity lasers are frequently employed to improve tissue repair in regenerative procedures and in antimicrobial photodynamic therapy. Despite the abundance of promising data on the advantages of their use, there is still controversy regarding the real benefits of lasers and antimicrobial photodynamic therapy in periodontal and peri-implant treatment. A huge variation in the parameters of laser application among studies makes comparisons very difficult. An overview of the current concepts and findings on lasers in periodontal therapy is presented with emphasis on data collected from Latin-American researchers.

“…With the presence of infected areas, methods such as PDT (Photodynamic Therapy) can also be applied as a healing procedure, and the combined techniques are tested recently and success fully, in an investigation with photoditazin as the pho tosensitizer [27]. Pain is another complaint of the patient undergoing cancer treatment, where the laser photobiomodulation is also indicated, as used at Clavijo's clinical study [28]. This determines a high expectation of the use of lasertherapy in humans who undergo radiation treatment and have teeth extracted or indication of needing surgery before the start of radiotherapy sessions.…”

This research evaluated the effect of GaAlAs lasertherapy at the healing of surgical wounds pro duced in Wistar rat femurs a few days before the beginning of the radiotherapy. An orifice was artificially pro duced in the femur bone of the rats and they were submitted to an external radiotherapy with a radioactive source of cobalt in the dosage of 3000 cGys. The experimental group received additionally seven sessions of 780 nm, 40 mW, 100 or 5 J/cm 2 in four points around the surgical wound, at each 48 h, initiated at the day of surgery. These animals were then sacrificed at three and five weeks. The results were based on the clinical and histological analyses. Clinically, even though the rats had gained body mass within the time of the experiment (p < 0.05), those who has been submitted to the lasertherapy presented cutaneous inflammatory reactions. Regarding the histological findings, the number of osteocites (p < 0.0001) and Harvers channels (p < 0.0001) was significantly larger in the groups that had been radiated with laser during the experiment.
