Treatment and prevention of oral mucositis by low-intensity laser: 4-case series - clinical report poster
This study aims to report a 4-case series of patients subjected to neck and head cancer therapy as well as to show how oral mucositis progression occurred after low-intensity laser therapy was used during the antineoplastic treatment. We used a 21-point red radiation protocol at 1 J for prevention and treatment of oral mucositis into the oral cavity ruling out the primary tumor sites and 1 J of infrared radiation in case of painful symptoms.

Comparison of the efficacy of low-level laser therapy and photodynamic therapy on oral mucositis in rats
In this study, 24 Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three groups as control, LLLT, and PT groups. All groups received 5-fluorouracil intraperitoneally and a linear trauma to the mouth pouch with a needle. After the formation of OM in the mouth, the control group had no treatment; the LLLT group was administered LLLT, and the PT group had LLLT after indocyanine green application. Then all groups were sacrificed, and histological analyses and protein level detection of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), transforming growth factor (TGF- β), and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF-BB) were evaluated in all groups. PT...
