Summary

The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on the severity of oral mucositis (OM) and inflammatory mediators (pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines, metalloproteinases and growth factors) levels in saliva and blood; furthermore, analyze the effect of LLLT in product modulation of oxidative stress and cell damage from the oral mucosa transplant patients.
