Impact of Photobiomodulation on IL1β and TGFβ-1 concentrations in patients with aphthous stomatitis.

Laser therapy has shown effectiveness in promoting wound healing by influencing various physiological factors such as blood flow, cytokines, histamine, nerve signals, lymphocyte function, tissue oxygenation, and cell growth. This study aims to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of Photobiomodulation (PBM) treatment, by using diode laser, in modifying the levels of interleukin-1 beta (IL1β) and transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGFβ-1) in patients diagnosed with aphthous stomatitis. A before-after interventional design was conducted over 10 months with 20 subjects.
