“…Various therapeutic approaches are known to reduce pain and accelerate wound healing, including analgesics, corticosteroids, anti-inflammatory drugs, and phytotherapy. 5 However, the use of some of these drugs, such as steroid and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, is nonetheless limited when given to elderly, pediatric, and patients with impaired kidney and liver function since it contains various side effects. 6 In addition, managing cases of PHN is still considered challenging, and heretofore no treatment is thought to be effective in reducing the incidence of PHN in patients with herpes zoster.…”

“… 7 Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy is a non-invasive, drug-free therapy that is widely used as an alternative therapy for oral ulcers. PBM uses light energy to generate biological responses from cells and restore normal cell function, 5 , 10 hence, it is considered effective in reducing pain intensity, reducing edema and inflammation, as well as accelerating ulcer healing. 5 The mechanism of pain reduction in PBM is related to physiological neural changes such as blockage of action potential generation and conduction of nociceptive signals in primary afferent neurons.…”

In addition, the pain reduction effect also occurs through modulation of the release of inflammatory mediators and alteration in lymphocyte metabolism.…”

Pain management becomes important in the treatment of oral mucosal diseases since it can impair the quality of life. Photobiomodulation (PBM) as an alternative therapy, has potency in reducing pain through several mechanisms targeting peripheral nerves in the target tissue. Purpose: To discuss the effectiveness of PBM in the management of four cases of oral mucosal diseases. Case: Four patients, two females and two males, with an age ranging from 24 to 63 years came to the Oral Medicine Department complaining of painful lesions in their oral cavity. Three cases showed ulceration of the oral mucosa and had been diagnosed with recurrent aphthous stomatitis, recalcitrant chronic ulcer, and non-specific chronic sialadenitis. One patient who complained of intense pain and swelling on the right side of the face was diagnosed with post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN). Case Management: PBM was administered in all four cases (976 nm diode laser, three cases with spot size 0.01 cm 2 , fluency 10 J/cm 2 , and one case with spot size 0.5 cm 2 ; fluency 3 J/cm 2 ). Visual analog scale (VAS) control was performed before and after the PBM at each visit. The recorded VAS results show a reduction in pain that started at the post-laser time, with VAS before PBM ranging from 5 to 7 and after PBM ranging from 0 to 4. Three patients were given triamcinolone acetonide 0.1%, chlorhexidine gluconate 0.2% mouthwash, petroleum jelly, and multivitamins. One patient was given mefenamic acid and multivitamins. Conclusion: PBM can be a useful adjunctive treatment to relieve the pain of oral mucosal diseases due to its ability to reduce pain intensity.

Oral ulcers are a very frequent complaint of patients reporting to dental professionals, of which traumatic ulcers are the most common They are very painful and troublesome while the patient speaks, masticates, or brushes. Various treatment modalities, such as topical analgesics and topical or systemic antibiotics, are used conventionally. However, long-term non-healing painful conditions and drug resistance have boosted the rapid raising of an alternative wound healing method. In the presented cases, low-dose biophotonics, also called photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy by low-level laser, was used with the aim of alleviating pain and inflammation, modulating the immune response, and promoting wound healing and tissue regeneration.
