Perawatan mukositis oral dengan low-level laser therapy. Radiasi dan kemoterapi merupakan modalitas terapi untuk kanker regio leher dan kepala. Namun, terapi tersebut diketahui mempunyai efek samping pada individu yang menjalaninya. Mukositis oral merupakan salah satu efek samping terapi yang paling sering terjadi. Terjadinya mukositis oral akan memberikan pengaruh pada kualitas hidup yang akhirnya berimpak pada hasil perawatan secara keseluruhan. Spektrum klinis mukositis oral dapat terlihat mulai dari penipisan lapisan mukosa, rasa tidak nyaman sampai rasa sakit pada mukosa yang menyebabkan gangguan pengunyahan ditambah dengan peningkatan resiko terjadinya infeksi. Beberapa upaya penatalaksanaan mukositis oral telah direkomendasikan oleh Multinational Association for Supportive Care in Cancer (MASCC)/International Society for Oral Oncology (ISOO). Salah satu dari upaya tersebut adalah penggunaan low-level laser (LLLT). Ini merupakan suatu cara baru untuk mengurangi keparahan mukositis oral yang sudah mulai banyak digunakan walaupun mekanisme aksi yang jelas masih dalam penelitian. Studi pustaka ini bertujuan untuk memberikan informasi perkembangan penggunaan LLLT dalam penatalaksanaan mukositis oral.

Radiation and chemotherapy are the treatment options for head and neck cancer. Several side effects related to those treatment have been shown. Oral mucositis is a common side effect in patients undergoing those treatment. The presence of oral mucositis in these patients would influencing quality of life therefore compromising treatment outcome. The spectrum of oral mucositis can be clinically seen as thinning of oral mucosa, oral discomfort to painful oral lesion causing mastication impairment with increasing risk of infection. The Multinational Association for Supportive Care in Cancer (MASCC)/International Society for Oral Oncology (ISOO) has recommended some means that have important role in the management oral mucositis. The low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is a relatively new way of reducing the severity of oral mucositis, although the true mechanism of action is still under study.

Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic inflammatory condition that effects oral mucous membranes with a variety of clinical presentations including reticular, atrophic, plaque and ulcerative lesions. Corticosteroid is one of the effective therapy for OLP in reducing the sign and symptoms of this disease, but this therapy have a serious side effect, therefore to administering one must consider the patient?s systemic condition. We reported a case of OLP in 52 years old female patient who has no history of diabetes mellitus and unknown glucose level. Management of this patient included application of corticosteroid swish, topical 0.05% clobetasol propionate and 0,1% triamcinolone acetonide, antimycotics, improvement the oral hygiene status and referral to internal medicine specialist. The next treatments plan challenging because unstable blood glucose level which in turn effects the drug choice and teeth extraction plan. We concluded that the treatment of OLP requires a complete assessment of medical status and lab studies specially on the first visit so the drug selection with corticosteroid therapy and the treatment planning of predisposing factor are effective in reducing the sign and symptoms of OLP with minimum systemic side effect.
