Canker sore laser treatment is the only proven method that simultaneously heals canker sores and takes away the pain.In some instances, canker sores crop up due to viral infection. The biostimulation of the laser used to treat them works to kill the viral bacteria while also cauterizing the open wound to prevent a new infection from taking over.This method is much less painful compared to other professional treatments, such as freezing, as it only emits a warm and tingling sensation. It also effectively gets rid of the pain as it kills the bacteria causing the sore, so you'll feel immediate relief once the procedure is over.

Background:

Cold sores, caused by herpes simplex virus type 1, are painful and aesthetically displeasing. They begin as small vesicles that merge, leading to painful ulcers, crusting, and eventual healing. The current standard treatment involves acyclovir, which alleviates symptoms but may lead to viral resistance and does not prevent recurrence. Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) offers several advantages, including shorter remission times and resistance prevention. This study aims to assess PDT's efficacy in treating cold sore lesions.



Materials and methods:

Thirty patients in the prodromal stage of cold sores, with vesicles, ulcers, and crusts, will be randomly assigned to two groups: Control (G1) and Experimental (G2). Group G1 will receive standard acyclovir treatment and simulated PDT. Group G2 will receive simulated acyclovir treatment (placebo) and actual PDT. Saliva samples will be collected for cytokine analysis, and exfoliative cytology will be performed on the lesions. Pain levels will be evaluated using a pain scale, and patients will complete an Oral health-related quality of life questionnaire (OHIP-14). Follow-up assessments will occur at 7 days, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months, with patients instructed to report lesion recurrence.



Discussion:

Oral herpes lesions cause significant pain and aesthetic concerns. While acyclovir is the standard treatment, its prolonged use may lead to high viral resistance. Antiviral medications are most effective during prodromal symptoms, but their optimal dosage remains unclear. While acyclovir reduces symptom duration, it does not prevent recurrence. Considering these limitations, aPDT emerges as a promising alternative for treating herpetic lesions.
