“…Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is an approach increasingly used in medicine, which has potential biostimulating effects also if applied to oral tissues by improving wound healing, enhancing epithelization after periodontal surgery, and preventing or healing induced oral mucositis [4][5][6]. Laser biostimulation can obtain different intracellular biological reactions to stimulate regenerative abilities, without undesired adverse effects, reducing also the pharmacological support and its possible invasiveness.…”

Eighty-two lesions were treated. We reported significant reduction in clinical scores of the treated lesions and in reported pain. No detailed complications or therapy side effects were observed during the study. AdrianaAs previously reported by our group with a preliminary report, this study suggests that LLLT could be a possible treatment choice for patients with unresponsive symptomatic OLP, also reducing the possible invasiveness correlated with other therapies.

“…Due to their anti-inflammatory properties, therapeutic lasers have been used in the prevention of radiation-induced stomatitis and in the postoperative period after endodontic procedures with good results (16,17) . Although there is no other study published to date using low-level laser after removal of palatine tonsils, low-level laser therapy was chosen in this study because our research team believed that it could reduce the child's pain after tonsillectomy, given its role in the acceleration of wound healing and postoperative pain reduction after dental surgery (9,26,27) .…”

Objective:The postoperative period of a tonsillectomy is usually very painful, requiring the use of painrelieving drugs. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of low-level laser therapy in post-tonsillectomy pain control.Methods: 18 children aged 5 to 15 years undergoing adenotonsillectomy between June 2005 and October 2006 were randomized to receive either local application of therapeutic laser immediately after surgery and 24 hours postoperatively (n=9) or routine analgesic drug therapy, if necessary. Pain was assessed by visual analog scale scores, need for analgesics, and acceptance of diet during the postoperative period.Results: Patients undergoing laser applications had lower median pain scores and required less analgesic medication postoperatively than the control group. Acceptance of diet was similar in both groups.Conclusions: Preliminary results showed that low-level laser therapy is effective in the reduction of post-tonsillectomy pain, minimizing the need of analgesic medication in children and adolescents.Key-words: laser therapy; tonsillectomy; pain; child. RESUMOObjetivo: O pós-operatório da tonsilectomia é, em geral, bastante doloroso e os pacientes necessitam de analgésicos. Este estudo visou avaliar a eficácia da aplicação do laser terapêutico no controle da dor no pós-operatório de tonsilectomia.Métodos: 18 crianças de cinco a 15 anos de idade foram submetidas à adenotonsilectomia, no período de junho de 2005 a outubro de 2006, sendo randomizadas para receber aplicações de laser terapêutico na área cirúrgica imediatamente após o procedimento e 24 horas após a cirurgia (n=9) ou seguir a rotina, com analgesia farmacológica, se necessário. A avaliação da dor foi realizada por escala analógica de dor, pela necessidade de analgésicos e pela aceitação da dieta no pós-operatório.Resultados: Os pacientes submetidos à aplicação do laser apresentaram medianas das notas da escala de avaliação da dor menores e utilizaram menos analgésicos no pós-operatório em comparação aos pacientes controles. A aceitação da dieta nos dois grupos não foi diferente.Conclusões: Os resultados preliminares mostraram que o laser terapêutico foi eficaz na diminuição da dor e na redução de uso de analgésicos no pós-operatório de tonsilectomias em crianças e adolescentes.
