Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy on xerostomia (dry mouth) and hyposalivation in 60 patients, comparing 30 participants receiving PBM with 30 placebo controls over one year.
- Results showed significant improvement in xerostomia symptoms and oral quality of life for the PBM group, while the placebo group only had minor improvements in xerostomia scores.
- The positive effects of PBM treatment remained evident even a year after the therapy, indicating it as a viable treatment option for those suffering from dry mouth.
Cancers have a highly negative impact on the quality of life of paediatric patients and require an individualised oral treatment program for the phases of the disease. The aim of this study was to update existing research on oral care in children diagnosed with cancer. We carried out a literature search (in English, Spanish and Portuguese) in the Pubmed, Cochrane Library, EBSCO, WOS, SciELO, Lilacs, ProQuest, and SCOPUS databases and the websites of hospitals that treat childhood cancers.
