Use of soft laser in the treatment of oral symptoms

U nedostatku kauzalne terapije oralnih simptoma stomatodinije i piroze primjenili smo infracrveni meki laser kod liječenja pacijenata sa ovim oralnim simptomima. Laser je bio valne dužine 904 nm i snage zračenja 20 W. Ispitivanje je provedeno kod 40 osoba sa simptomima stomatopiroze i stomatodinije uz primejnu lasera kroz 5 dana uzastopce u trajanju zračenja od 3 minute na 1 cm2 sluznice. Ispitnu grupu predstavljale su osobe isključivo pod terapijom laserom, a kontrolnu 30 osoba kod kojih se provodila medikamentozna terapija vazodilatatorom apliciranim pomoću jontoforeze. Kod osoba sa simptomima stomatopiroze i stomatodinije postignut je analgetski učinak terapije laserom već nakon prve aplikacije, a intenzitet pečenja i boli smanjivao se svaki dan tijekom liječenja kod stomatodinije do potpune sanacije. Dobivene razlike u intenzitetu simptoma prije i poslije terapije statistički su značajne. Termoesteziometrijsko određivanje efikasnosti lasera vazodilatacijom pokazalo je razlike koje nisu značajne, iako je temperatura u toku terapije blago povišena za 0,1° C. Meki laser može se koristiti kao efikasno sredstvo u liječenju oralnih simptoma stomatopiröze i stomatodinije.Due to insuficient causal therapy of oral symptoms of dyniae and pyrosis, we applied infrared soft laser in treatmet of patients with ihose oral symptoms. The laser had a wavelenght of 904 nm and a radiation strenght of 20 W. The tests were performed on 40 persons with stomatopyrosis and stomatodiniae symptoms, under application of laser through 5 days consecutively with radiation of mucosa lasting 3 minutes on 1 cm2. The testing group was represented by persons exclusively under the laser therapy and the control group was represented by 30 persons, who were under a medicamentose therapy with vasodilatator applied with iontophoresis. By persons with stomatopyrosis and stomatodiniae symptoms analgetic effect was attained through the therapy with the laser already after the first application, and the pain and aches intensity was relieved every day during the therapy, by stomatodinae to complete healing. The obtained differences in the intensity of symptoms before and after the therapy were statistically important. The thermoestesiometric determination of laser efficiency by vasodilatation showed differences which were not important, although the temperature during the therapy has slightly increased for 0,1° C . The soft laser can be used as an effective remedy in the treatment of oral symptoms of stomatopyrosis and stomatodinae
