The role of the diode laser in helping with palliative care in the treatment of ulcerative oral lesions (Recurrent Aphthous Ulcers (RAU or RAS)) and Oral Herpetic lesions (HSV-1)).
The reason for the recurrence of these ulcers is unknown most of the time, might be a viral infection as with the case of Herpes infection which is associated with mild fever and vesicles in the corner of the mouth. but the exact reason for aphthous ulcers is idiopathic, the possible etiologic factors include: citrus fruits, trauma, stress, lack of sleep, immune system reactions, and deficiency of B12, Iron or Folic Acid. These lesions are found on the “loose” tissues of the mouth including the inner aspects of the lips, buccal mucosa, tongue, soft palate and the floor of the mouth.
These ulcers begin with a mild burning sensation as first sensed by the patient and appears as a yellow or white oval lesion surrounded by an inflammed red border. At this stage it is usually painful and gets aggravated on taking any hot and spicy food. Even the use of toothpaste can trigger the pain in some.
LOW LEVEL LASER THERAPY has been proven to accelerate wound healing and reduce the pain symptom. The dental diode laser technology has an anti- bacterial effect and offers patients dramatic, almost instant relief. The diode laser emits light that is coverted into heat which vapourizes the ulcer without damaging the surrounding tissue.
Benefits of Laser Treatment

- Pain relief is immediate and profound
- Affordable
- Stops progression of the ulcer
- Only takes a few minutes
