Laserterapia utilizada como tratamento de parestesia do nervo alveolar inferior: revisão de literatura

Introduction

Paresthesia of the inferior alveolar nerve is one of the possible neurosensory complications associated with various dental procedures, especially lower third molar surgeries, implant placement, endodontic procedures, and local anesthesia application. These changes can be temporary or permanent, depending on the extent of nerve damage, and often cause discomfort and concern for patients, as they interfere with daily functions and quality of life. Different approaches have been proposed for managing this condition, with low-level laser therapy, also known as low-intensity laser therapy, standing out. This therapy has been widely studied over the past decades due to its biomodulatory effects on biological tissues.
