Resumo
O laser de baixa intensidade age como um fotobiomodulador teciduar, produzindo efeitos terapêuticos. Várias aplicações têm sido descritas na literatura, com variados protocolos de irradiação. Muitos estudos demonstram a sua efectividade, e outros demonstram o contrário. Este artigo é uma revisão bibliográfica da laserterapia, incluindo histórico, tipos de laser de baixa intensidade, características físicas, mecanismos de funcionamento, contra-indicações, efeitos e aplicações na cirurgia bucomaxilofacial. As aplicações da laserterapia em implantologia, lesões mucosas, herpes, condução nervosa, cirurgias periodontais, disfunção temporomandibular, apicetomias e cirurgia dentoalveolar serão especificamente abordados.

Abstract
Low level laser acts as a tool to assist photomodulation of the tissue, yielding therapeutic effects. Several applications have been described in the literature, following various irradiation protocols. Several studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of low level laser therapy; however, other studies reported opposite results. This article reviewed the historical use of laser therapy, types of low level lasers, physical characteristics, mechanisms of action, contraindication, effects, and applications in oral and maxillofacial surgery. In this overview we gave particular emphasis to application of laser therapy in dental implants, mucosal lesions, herpes, nervous conduction, periodontal surgeries, temporomandibular disorders, apicoectomy, and dentoalveolar surgery.
