Abstract
Oral ulcers in children are a frequent complaint of patients reporting to a dental professional. These can be very painful and may cause difficulty during eating, speaking and brushing. Several modalities have been proposed for management of oral ulcers, such as topical anesthetics, antiseptic mouthwashes, etc. However, these have not been proven very efficacious. Low level laser therapy (LLLT) has been suggested as a means of accelerating healing of oral ulcers. This case report presents a case of two painful aphthous ulcers in a 13-year-old child treated with LLLT using soft tissue diode laser. Immediately after the laser therapy, the pain reduced significantly and the healing occured substantially in 72 hours.
