A utilização da laserterapia na prevenção e tratamento da mucosite oral: uma revisão da literatura

This study is a literature review, carried out between June 2019 and June 2020, which was dedicated to analyzing articles published in the last decade, on the use of lasotherapy in patients affected by oral mucositis, seeking to report the scientific foundations that justify the use of this therapeutic measure and improvements in the quality of life of submitted patients who underwent treatment. Method: Search carried out in the Pubmed®, Scielo, Medline and LILACS databases, discarding articles that were not available in full or whose approach was distant from the proposed theme. Conclusion: The analyzed authors argue that there was a considerable improvement in the quality of life of patients affected by oral mucositis, when submitted to lasetherapy, mainly in view of the control of pain and inflammation, as well as, in the restoration of oral functions. They also reinforce the need for training professionals who use laser therapy and their inclusion               in the multidisciplinary team.
