A mucosite oral é um efeito colateral de quimioterapia e radioterapia de cabeça e pescoço e consiste de uma comorbidade severa com a presença de xerostomia, lesões ulcerativas, infecções secundárias e dor, passíveis de alterar e até interromper a terapia antineoplásica, diminuindo a possibilidade de controle da doença. A mucosite oral pode ser tratada com variados esquemas terapêuticos, incluindo a utilização de laser de baixa intensidade, que diferem em tipo de laser, densidade de energia, comprimento de onda utilizados, entre outros parâmetros de irradiação. Este trabalho utilizou mesmos parâmetros de irradiação laser (30 mW, 7,5 J/cm 2 , 0,04 mm diâmetro do feixe, 10 s por ponto, 3 pontos no dorso e 2 pontos no ventre da língua, com distância de 1 mm da superfície, 48/48 h por até 20 dias), diferindo apenas o comprimento de onda utilizado, = 660 nm e = 780 nm. Em seguida, os efeitos da irradiação foram comparados entre si e em relação ao grupo controle não tratado. Foi feita a padronização de modelo animal de mucosite oral em ratos utilizando radiação gama de fonte panorâmica, em dose única de 20 Gy, para avaliação uniforme dos grupos. Para tanto, foi elaborado escore clínico detalhado ponto a ponto, com correlação estatística, que se mostrou eficiente na avaliação clínica desta comorbidade. Após análise estatística dos dados coletados (p < 0,05), pode-se verificar que existem diferenças entre as terapias com laser, além de sua superioridade em relação ao grupo Controle. Os animais do grupo laser = 660 nm apresentaram maior produção de colágeno em mucosa e fechamento de feridas mais rapidamente nos dias 14 e 20 quando comparados ao grupo laser = 780 nm. Ambos os tratamentos foram superiores em relação ao grupo Controle. Os tratamentos laser também se mostraram superiores ao Controle na modulação da inflamação, formação de pseudomembrana e estimulação de angiogênese. Estes resultados indicam que os benefícios obtidos pelos dois comprimentos de onda, nas mesmas condições de irradiação, são diferentes, podendo ser utilizados de forma complementar em pacientes.

Comparisson of the low level laser therapy effects ( = 660 nm ou = 780 nm) in the threatment of ionizing radiation induced oral mucositis in rats Maíra Franco de Andrade ABSTRACT A well-known side effect of head and neck chemotherapy and radiotherapy is oral mucositis. This severe comorbidity presents xerostomya, ulcers, secondary infections and pain that can alter and even force to interrupt tumor-targeted therapies. Various treatments currently exist such as in particular low-level laser therapies (LLT) with different parameters including laser type, energy density, or wavelength. In the present study we propose to compare the effects of LLT at two different wavelengths, = 660 nm and = 780 nm, on an animal model. For this purpose we separated rats in three groups: one control group and one group for each wavelength. Apart from the w...
The mechanisms of action of photobiomodulation (PBM) in oral mucositis (OM) are not completely elucidated. To enlighten the role of PBM in the evolution of epithelial maturity in OM ulcers, the present study evaluated the effect of PBM with red (λ) wavelength of 660 nanometers (nm) and infrared of 780 nm in radio-induced OM wounds on the tongue of rats, eight and twenty days after irradiation with single dose of 20 Gy. The percentage area corresponding to positive staining for cytokeratin 10 (CK10) and 14 (CK14) proteins was evaluated in the epithelial area of the lesions, using an immunohistochemical technique (IHC), 8 and 20 days after the induction of lesions, and compared with an untreated control group. CK10 was significantly more expressed in the group treated with 660 nm PBM. CK14 did not show quantitative differences between the groups evaluated. However, whereas in the groups treated with PBM, CK14 was already restricted to the basal layer of the epithelium, as expected in healthy epithelia, in control group it was also expressed in upper layers of the epithelium. In this work, PBM was able to improve epithelial maturity of the repaired OM wound, especially in the 660 nm group.
Photobiomodulation (PBM) has been clinically used for the prevention and treatment of oral mucositis (OM). The effect of red and near-infrared wavelengths on OM repair is still misunderstood. The aim of this study was to compare the clinical effect and tissue changes caused by 660 nm and 780 nm exposure in an experimental model of OM. Rats were submitted to gamma irradiation for induction of OM lesions and treated with 660 nm or 780 nm lasers with the same dosimetry parameters (30 mW, 7.5 J/cm2, 10 s, spot size = 0.04 mm, irradiation every two days). Clinical assessment of OM severity and histopathological analyses was performed after 8, 14, and 20 days of the ionizing radiation. OM severity was reduced in the PBM groups, especially when the red laser was used. The histopathological pattern was similar between the PBM groups, showing advanced re-epithelization and more pronounced angiogenesis and collagen deposition compared to the control. The 660 nm group showed a greater collagen matrix area than the 780 nm group at 14 days. In conclusion, PBM at 660 nm and 780 nm improved the repair of ionizing radiation-induced OM. Both wavelengths activated the angiogenesis and collagen deposition, but these tissue effects were more pronounced when 660 nm was used.
