“…Some recent evidence suggests that LLLT would currently appear to be a possible treatment for some patients with different type of oral erosive lesions, guaranteeing an immediate and notable analgesic effect [8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. In particular, in a preliminary report our group reported that LLLT appeared to be a possible treatment for some patients with OLP and can be used as an alternative therapy alongside standard treatment methods, especially for unresponsive patients [13].…”

Eighty-two lesions were treated. We reported significant reduction in clinical scores of the treated lesions and in reported pain. No detailed complications or therapy side effects were observed during the study. AdrianaAs previously reported by our group with a preliminary report, this study suggests that LLLT could be a possible treatment choice for patients with unresponsive symptomatic OLP, also reducing the possible invasiveness correlated with other therapies.

“…To date, few reports have been published describing the efficacy of laser irradiation in erosive oral mucosal diseases, such as mucous membrane pemphigoid [8][9][10], aphthous stomatitis [11,12], OLP [13] and chronic lichenoid graft-vs.-host disease [14].…”

“…The process of healing and rejuvenation of mucosal tissues will accelerate in this way. Many studies have shown the effect of laser therapy on the stimulation of the mucosa, which regenerates and rejuvenates the skin on the superficial and the deep level [29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36]. Tierney et al demonstrated the effects of fractional CO 2 laser on treatment of photoaging as a safe and effective tool.…”

“…The effectiveness of laser therapy in the prevention and/or healing of chemotherapyinduced oral mucositis lesions has been investigated, and it significantly reduced its incidence and severity [32,33]. Laser was also used as a therapy for dry mouth symptoms in a patient with Sjögren's syndrome and xerostomia symptoms, and swelling improved during laser phototherapy [34] and used for oral mucous membrane pemphigoid [35].…”

Anal fissure is a common painful problem, affecting all age groups. Its pathophysiology is based on high sphincter pressures and reduced blood supplying and treatments which means that it generally reduces anal pressures and increases anodermal blood flow. Since each of the anal fissure's routine therapies has some limitations such as definite risk of permanent fecal incontinence and high recurrence rate, we tried to find a more effective and less invasive procedure. In this pilot study which was implemented on 25 male and female patients aged 20-75 years, diagnosed clinically with chronic anal fissure, the Carbon Dioxide Laser Fractional was used to treat patients. In order to first remove fibrotic and granulation tissues, the base and the edges of the fissure were laser beamed. Eight spots were made on the sphincter by the laser on its continuous mode; somehow, they were passed through the full thickness of sphincter without interrupting its continuance. Afterwards, the area around the fissure ulcer was irradiated by deep fractional mode of the laser to stimulate the submucosa to regenerate and rejuvenate. After going through this procedure, patients were followed up within 6 months to 1 year. Pain, bleeding, and constipation were significantly improved. None of the patients had recurrence after a 1-year follow-up, and none of them had fecal incontinence and/or inability to control the passage of gas too. This study revealed that this new laser-based surgery is a simple, safe, and effective procedure to treat the anal fissure that can be performed with local anesthesia in an outpatient clinic with minimal postoperative morbidity.

“…No reported complications or therapy side effects were observed in any of the patients treated. 99 Moore et al used transcleral diode laser cyclophotocoagulation to control raised intraocular pressure in a patient with ocular cicatricial pemphigoid without causing an exacerbation of the condition. 100…”
