Treatment of mucous membrane pemphigoid with low-level laser therapy

Pemphigoid of the mucous membranes represents a group of subepithelial blistering diseases of autoimmune origin. The radiation emitted by the low-level laser affects the metabolic processes of the target cells, producing biostimulants that act in the process of regeneration of the tissues. A 34-year-old female patient presented clinically with an erythematous gingiva that was blistering and scaling, with painful and burning symptomatology. An excisional biopsy was performed, sent for histopathologic examination, confirming the diagnosis of mucous membrane pemphigoid.
