One of the complications of radiotherapy and chemotherapy is oral mucositis. Since the low energy laser is one of the most frequently recommended interventions by authors and international societies, the aim of this study is to review the scientific evidence on the use of lasers as a preventive and therapeutic in oral mucositis associated with treatment of cancer. We performed a literature search in PubMed and The Cochrane Collaboration Library, limiting the search to the last 20 years. We finally included 29 articles that contained 30 studies. Low energy laser phototherapy seems a promising intervention in both the prevention and treatment of oral mucositis associated with cancer treatment. Virtually all studies reviewed showed good results with no adverse effects and reductions in both incidence and severity of mucositis in all types of cancer treatments.
放疗和化疗的并发症之一是口腔黏膜炎。由于低能量激光是作者和国际协会最常推荐的干预措施之一，本研究的目的是回顾关于激光用于预防和治疗与癌症治疗相关的口腔黏膜炎的科学证据。我们在PubMed和考克兰协作网图书馆进行了文献检索，将检索范围限制在过去20年。我们最终纳入了29篇包含30项研究的文章。低能量激光光疗似乎是预防和治疗与癌症治疗相关的口腔黏膜炎的一种有前景的干预措施。几乎所有综述的研究都显示出良好的效果，没有不良反应，并且在所有类型的癌症治疗中黏膜炎的发生率和严重程度都有所降低。
