Application of soft tissue laser in the management of recurrent apthous stomatitis
A placebo controlled study
Keywords:
low level laser, aphthous ulcer, biostimulationAbstract
Apthous ulcers are relatively common pathology and are very painful, so in order to facilitate the relief in pain and healing of these ulcers application of LLT has been done in the present study. The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of Low Level Laser Therapy in the treatment of recurrent aphthous ulcers. 30 patients of both sexes and all age groups with two recurrent aphthous ulcers were included in the study. One ulcer in each subject was subjected to Low Level Laser Therapy as study group and one ulcer in each subject was considered for the Sham Control group. The Student’s t-test was used for statistical evaluation of the data. The study group (LLLT) showed a statistically significant reduction in pain as compared to the sham controlled group. Complete resolution of the ulcers in the study group was observed to be 4.7 ± 1.2 days and control group was 8.4 ± 2.6 days. On comparison with the sham group, the complete healing time for the study group (LLLT) was found to be highly significant, with a p value of <0.001.
