- Abstract
This article describes a four-year follow-up study on the prevention of oral mucositis in onco-hematological patients through photobiomodulation. The study was conducted at the Walter Cantídio University Hospital and used low-level laser therapy to prevent and treat oral mucositis. During the study period, 325 patients were treated, of which 105 developed oral mucositis, with regression of the lesions within 10 days of treatment. Laser therapy proved to be effective in reducing the incidence and severity of oral mucositis lesions, improving the quality of life of the patients.
