The Use of the Low-Intensity Laser Therapy (LLLT) Technique for Face Burning

This work describes a case report by the Hospital Dentistry team of the Beneficent Association of Campo Grande Santa Casa MS, where a patient presented with a burn caused by the explosion of the carbon dioxide gas (Co2) through the inhalation of the vapor with acute physical changes, which resulted in burns that reached approximately 10% of the anterior area of the skull with involvement of the cervical and pharyngeal region. Admitted under Orotracheal Intubation, he was treated using the LLLT technique with the use of the InGaAIP low intensity laser on the injured tissues. Through a multi professional approach, using the Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) technique as a therapeutic alternative for the treatment of burn injuries of the periorbital region, lips and oral cavity, with the daily monitoring of the patient and regular on-site applications of laser therapy, there was a significant improvement in the injured region, and healing with rapid evolution, in addition to analgesia with reduced bleeding and site inflammation

Introduction: Laser application in endodontics has increased due to its safety and effectiveness in dental treatments, involving dentin hypersensitivity, removal of decayed tissues, dental preparations, pulp capping or pulpotomy, and root canal treatment. Postoperative pain after endodontic treatments is a common complication, affecting 3% to 58% of patients. Low-level laser therapy has been used in dentistry to promote analgesia, modulation of inflammation, and tissue healing. Objective: performed a concise systematic review to present the main clinical outcomes of endodontic treatment with low-intensity laser therapy. Methods: The research was carried out from April 2021 to July 2021 and developed based on Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, Scielo, and Google Scholar, following the Systematic Review-PRISMA rules. The quality of the studies was based on the GRADE instrument and the risk of bias was analyzed according to the Cochrane instrument. Results: After the selectivity of articles and literary findings through the following descriptors, a total of 65 studies were analyzed, with only 17 medium and high-quality studies selected, according to GRADE rules, and with risks of bias that do not compromise scientific development. The authors showed that low-intensity laser therapy has the property of oral sterilization, facilitating tissue healing after surgical procedures. The effects related to anti-inflammatory and analgesic capacities with the application of low-intensity laser were also evidenced. Conclusion: Laser therapy has been shown to improve the healing of soft and hard tissues after endodontic surgery and has also shown favorable effects on pain and patients' quality of life.
