Laser Therapy in the Tissue Repair Process: A Literature Review

Abstract: The majority of authors report that laser therapy speeds up the process of tissue repair, but further studies are suggested to determine the best parameters to be used.

“…Success has been relative concerning reduction of scar height and scar lightening, yet it involves risks such as dyschromia, burns and discomfort during application, as those are high potency equipments. However, in the arsenal of phototherapy there are LLLT, widely used in tissue repair process 11 and LED, recently investigated as a low cost, alternative source of light 12 . However, there are still no researches with LED and fibroproliferative scars, a fact that motivated the present study.…”

“…Wavelengths above 500 nm are widely used to stimulate wound healing, specially red and infrared bands 11 . In the blue spectral region, flavoproteins such as NADHdehydrogenase and succinate dehydrogenase, and also porphyrins can work as photoacceptors 8,21 .…”

“…Embora o mecanismo de ação do laser de baixa potência ainda não se apresente totalmente conhecido, acredita-se que a irradiação sob a dentina exposta estimule as células nervosas do tecido pulpar, interferindo na polaridade das membranas celulares, levando ao bloqueio do estímulo nervoso 21 . Sendo assim, conforme Silva et al 22 (2010) e Lins et al 23 (2013), os lasers de baixa potência produzem efeito analgésico devido à queda da transmissão nervosa e, além disso, causam aceleração no processo cicatricial, devido ao aumento da proliferação celular.…”

“…Dessa maneira, os lasers em baixa intensidade medeiam os efeitos analgésicos devido à depressão da transmissão nervosa. Além disso, provocariam uma aceleração no processo cicatricial, pelo aumento na proliferação celular, assim como uma mudança de atividade fisiológica das células excitadas pelo laser 20,23 . Recentes estudos in vivo têm mostrado a eficácia dos lasers de baixa intensidade no tratamento da hipersensibilidade dentinária.…”
