B
isphosphonates are being increasingly used for the
treatment of metabolic and oncological pathologies
involving the skeletal system. Because of the severity of the
Bisphosphonates associated osteonecrosis of the jaws, the
difficulties of treatment, and patient discomfort, additional
support methods for their management are needed. Laser
therapy has an easy handling, photo biostimulator effect
on tissues healing, so it can be considered a preferred
therapy. The primary objective of the treatment should be
to improve patient quality of life through pain and infection
management, prevent the development of new lesions, and
slow disease progression. In recent years, the use of laser for
bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw has become
more widespread, due to its use of administration and widely
reportedbeneficial effects on tissuehealing. The videopresent a
systematic review of the literature sought to elucidate whether
Low Level Laser Therapy has positive effects in the treatment
of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw and a
study that evaluate the influence of low- level laser therapy
in the 685nm and 830nm wavelength in the healing process
of the bone and soft tissues in rats under Bisphosphonate
therapy zoledronic acid and dexamethasone concomitantly
that underwent a surgery for the extraction of upper molars.
