Abstract
Recurrent aphthous stomatitis is an oral disease characterized by the appearance of painful ulcers on the labial or jugal mucosa. Its etiology is unknown; it usually affects people under 30 years old; being able to repeat for months or years. Anti-inflammatories, glucocorticoids, antibiotics, among others, are traditionally indicated for the management of lesions. Due to the side effects of these treatments, laser therapy has been suggested. The objective of the report was to establish whether the defocused high-power diode laser is effective against aphthous stomatitis in a 30-year-old patient, who suffered from mouth ulcers since the age of 10, without success with traditional treatments. The lesions were irradiated with 1W diode laser, continuous mode with 400 µm fiber followed by plane wave and angled disfocal piece on the tongue, inner lip and cheeks. Likewise, laser puncture was applied in the extraoral area, for a total of 10 sessions. Complete pain reduction was observed on the third day of irradiation. After 1 year of follow-up, no recurrence was evidenced. It is concluded that the diode laser showed better results than the previous treatments by quickly relieving pain, preventing recurrence, and improving the patient's self-esteem.References
