Introduction: One of the major dental trauma that affects the population which leads to important consequences is tooth avulsion, characterized by complete exarticulation of the tooth out of its socket. As consequence of this trauma, periodontal ligament fibers, cementum and pulp are attacked and root resorption can occur. Due to the effectiveness of using low level laser therapy (LLLT) in periodontal and endodontic treatments, its use seems promising in cases of dental avulsion, which may increase success rates. Objective: Comprehensively review the literature to understand the LLLT's action on endodontic and periodontic treatments; present current and scientific knowledge about the effectiveness of LLLT in dental avulsion; and observe research failures on the topic. Literature review: LLLT reduces postoperative pain in primary and retreatment of the root canal, with a significantly greater decrease compared to anti-inflammatory drugs. In periodontics there is a reduction in bacteria and stones, neutralization of endotoxin and a decrease in the depth of bags. Few studies have evaluated its application in treatments for dental replantation. However, current literature demonstrated an improvement in healing, an increase in the thickness of the reactive dentin layer and a decrease in inflammation. Final considerations: LLLT irradiation promotes biochemical reactions, resulting in the stimulation of tissue repair, regeneration and reduction of inflammatory processes, which can be a promising treatment for cases of avulsion and dental replantation. Further researchers should be performed.
