“…Light energy is absorbed by the cytochromes and porphyrins within the mitochondria, which promotes cell activation, cell proliferation, and differentiation, and triggers an acceleration of the regeneration process. [14][15][16][17] Dispersed elevated temperature results in cellular biostimulation and aids in the reduction of pain and inflammation in affected tissues. These effects help with cell nutrition and promote the development of dense microvascularization within local connective tissue leading to accelerated wound healing and reduced swelling.…”

Low-level laser therapy or photobiomodulation (LLLT/PBM) therapy has been widely applied to enhance and accelerate the recovery of oral mucositis. This study investigates the documented effect of LLLT on oral mucositis caused by chemotherapy. This review appraises 6 animal studies and 12 clinical studies published in the Pubmed database during the past 10 years, related to the application of LLLT for the treatment of mucositis. Despite varied parameters and diverse conditions, the assessed articles indicate that application of LLLT on oral mucositis using near-infrared wavelengths is prophylactic, reduces pain, and enables a rapid recovery. Various combined treatments were also identified among the published papers, which further establishes the efficacy of LLLT as a viable treatment.
