Abstract

Background: Xerostomia is not a disease itself. The condition can be associated with systemic diseases, medications or radiation therapy. Current treatments of dry mouth have deficiencies and limitations or just have short-term impact. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of diode laser 980 nm to treat dry mouth. Diode laser 980 nm is more applicable in dentistry.Case Reports: Four patients with oral dryness (subjective or objective) volunteered to participate in this study. The participants’ xerostomia was evaluated by Fox questionnaire and the amount of their saliva and anxiety were studied by Cattell questionnaire. The patients treated were as follows: (1) a 46-year-old man who wore denture without any systemic diseases and drug consumption (2) a 58-year-old woman with diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and anxiety (3) a 39-year-old woman with feeling of dry mouth and normal saliva rate suffering from diabetes (4) a 75-year-old man with a history of thyroid cancer and radiotherapy. Diode laser 980 nm (lowlevel laser) was used on the submandibular, parotid, and sublingual glands bilaterally every other day for 10 sessions.Results: All patients, except the patient with a history of radiation therapy, showed improvement after treatment with diode laser 980 nm (10 sessions). There were not any special side effects during treatment. This effect can be induced via changes in saliva rate or concentration or its enzymatic activity.Conclusion: Low-level laser therapy with diode laser 980 nm can be mentioned as an alternative treatment for xerostomia when salivary gland function is suitable. More research is needed in this area.
