Low-Level Light Therapy, Paresthesia, PhotobiomodulationAbstract
Paresthesia is a neurosensory disorder resulting from nerve damage that occurs after a dental intervention and leads to prolonged loss of sensation in a specific region of the face, in addition to other symptoms, which can be resolved spontaneously after a few days or months, but depending on the extension and type of nerve damage, this damage can be permanent. With the advancement of technology, lasers have become popular in dentistry, along with advances in research. The photobiomodulation therapy with low level laser has been shown to be a favorable option for the treatment of neurosensory disorders and acceleration of the tissue repair process. A literature review was carried out, based on searches in the databases of PubMed / MEDLINE, Virtual Health Library (VHL), The Cochrane Library and Scielo, between 2010 and 2020. The present study aims to analyze the effect, therapeutic use, and the mechanisms of action of low level laser therapy (LLLT), as well as causes and factors related to the most common nerve injury procedures. Recent research involving the use of photobiomodulation therapy shows the laser's ability to accelerate the tissue repair process, with analgesic, anti-inflammatory, healing and regenerative phenomena. Although there have been major discoveries in the years, the literature still lacks protocols and clinical trials on the use of lasers, verifying and proving their effects on nerve injuries, which should be the focus of future research.
