Estimulação celular cicatricial por meio da laserterapia: revisão de literatura

Abstract

The use of low power laser has been used in several dental specialties as adjunctive therapy or as isolated therapy, so that its main indications include anti-inflammatory, analgesic and tissue repair inducing action. The main objective of this work is to perform a literature review on the way that laser therapy induces the process of cell proliferation, especially with regard to tissue regeneration in oral lesions. In addition to assessing the benefits and effectiveness of using laser therapy in the tissue repair process, analyzing the different applications of laser in dentistry and highlighting the use of laser therapy in a systemic and / or local manner. Researches were carried out on the platforms: Pubmed, MedLine, LILACS, Scielo and Google Scholar. The results of this review suggest the use of low-level laser as a scar cell stimulator used in the treatment of dental pathologies such as: recurrent and traumatic aphthous ulcers, postoperative surgery, oral-fungal manifestations of viral and fungal infections, muscle and joint disorders, among others. From the results obtained so far, we can affirm and conclude that laser therapy in the process of recurrent repair can be used to accelerate and improve the quality of the regenerative process, through a sequence of physiological and biochemical events with the reduction of inflammation, stimulation of collagen synthesis, the formation of granulation tissue and reepithelization, being considered an efficient therapeutic modality to treat oral lesions or, at least, to reduce symptoms, making it effective in addition to tissue regeneration, also in reducing pain of different etiologies and in the control of inflammatory processes.
