Low-level laser as a complementary therapy in orofacial granulomatosis management: a case report
Orofacial granulomatosis (OFG) is a chronic inflammatory disease that typically affects the soft tissues of the orofacial region. The most common clinical manifestation of OFG is lip swelling, which may be associated with intrabuccal ulcerations and increased growth of the gingiva and mucosa, resulting in a cobblestone-like appearance, as well as cutaneous erythema and facial edema. The treatment for OFG is challenging and presents variable prognoses, which are sometimes considered unsatisfactory.
