[Employment of the laser apparatus SL-30 in complex treatment of chronic recurrent herpetic stomatitis].

Abstract

The purpose of the study was the estimation of complex treatment effectiveness of chronic recurrent herpetic stomatitis using portable laser device "Beurer" (Germany). Fifty patients 17 till 55 years of age were investigated. Among them 28 were women and 22 were men. They were divided into two groups. All patients were treated by standard algorithm according to the severity of the disease. In the patients from the second group laser therapy by means of SL-30, 15-30 min per day was administered. After the completion of the course of treatment positive therapeutic effect has been achieved in all patients from the second group. Disappearance of the subjective symptoms and the initiation of the reparative-regenerative processes has occurred much faster in this group which gave us an opportunity to reduce the number of sessions by 5-6 in comparison with the first group. Thus, it was shown that the use of apparatus SL-30 in complex treatment of the chronic recurrent herpetic stomatitis increases the efficiency of the treatment.
