Resumo
Herpes simplex (HSV) is commonly encountered in the dentistry
practice disappearing after 10 to 14 days. Recently alternative treatments
have been introduced, among those laser therapy. The aim of
this study is to evaluate the efficacy of laser therapy in patients with
perioral herpes simplex infection. A 32 years old female was treated
with high-intensity laser therapy (HILT) in vesicle phase using a
Nd:YAG laser, l= 1064 nm, P= 1,5 W, f= 15 Hz on days 1 and 2 to
drainage the vesicles. Low-intensity laser therapy (LILT) was applied
on the affected area in the 3 consecutive days with a GaAlAs laser, l=
830 nm, D= 5 J/cm2. On the other hand, a 7 years male patient, which
presented the vesiculo-ulcerative stage, only LILT (l= 660 nm, D= 4
J/cm2) was carried out. For both cases, it was observed that the course
of the infection was quicker than the normal. Seven days after treatment
beginning the lesions were healed. These findings suggest that
LILT associated or not to HILT is a efficient and promising treatment
for HSV. Further larger studies aiming at confirming these data and
investigating the LILT mechanisms of action should be performed.
