ABSTRACT
Recurrent aphthous stomatitis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by aphthous lesions in the buccal mucosa. Various therapeutic methods like laser therapy have been recently introduced. This is a simple, painless, non-invasive method very much accepted by patients. We present a 37-year-old woman with small mouth sores, rounded and well-defined on the internal mucosa of the lower lip and in vestibular groove at the level of lower incisors, attended at the Stomatological Clinic of “Celia Sánchez Manduley” Clinical Surgical Teaching Hospital of Manzanillo, Granma. The effectiveness of laser in the recurrent aphthous stomatitis treatment was verified, to obtain a satisfactory general patient´s state and a 5 days effective improvement in minor aphthae, considering patients´ life quality during healing period.REFERENCES
