Resumo
Este estudo aborda a alveolite, uma condição pós-extração dentária caracterizada por dor intensa, atraso na cicatrização e ocorre devido a degradação parcial ou total do coágulo, sendo de etiologia multifatorial. Podendo apresentar-se como alveolite seca (alvéolo vazio) ou purulenta (coágulo desorganizado e exsudato purulento). Por ser uma complicação dolorosa oriunda de interferências nos processos de reparo de feridas após as exodontias, o cirurgião dentista deve estar atento para os fatores que interferem nos processos de reparo, assim como conhecer as propostas de tratamento locais e sistêmicos, descritos na literatura variando desde o uso de soluções antissépticas pré-operatórias e pós operatórios. Diversos tratamentos têm sido descritos na literatura, incluindo a curetagem do alvéolo, irrigação com soro fisiológico e aplicação de alveogyl® como curativo. Além disso, a terapia sistêmica com antibióticos, anti-inflamatórios e analgésicos é frequentemente utilizada. No entanto, há relatos de tratamentos que retardam a cicatrização, destacando a importância de abordagens eficazes. A laserterapia tem surgido como uma opção complementar promissora, devido aos seus efeitos analgésicos, anti-inflamatórios e cicatrizantes. Com baixas densidades de energia e comprimentos de onda adequados, a laserterapia tem mostrado resultados positivos no processo de reparação tecidual. Este estudo discute a eficácia da laserterapia como uma abordagem terapêutica não invasiva e complementar no tratamento da alveolite, fornecendo uma visão abrangente sobre sua aplicação e benefícios potenciais. Com base na revisão da literatura e evidências clínicas, a laserterapia surge como uma opção promissora para melhorar a qualidade de vida dos pacientes e acelerar o processo de cicatrização em casos de alveolite pós-extração dentária.
This study addresses alveolitis, a condition after tooth extraction characterized by intense pain, delayed healing and occurs due to partial or total degradation of the clot, with a multifactorial etiology. It may present as dry socket (empty socket) or purulent (disorganized clot and purulent exudate). Because it is a painful complication arising from interference in wound repair processes after tooth extractions, the dental surgeon must be aware of the factors that interfere in the repair processes, as well as know the local and systemic treatment approaches, described in the literature ranging from the use of preoperative and postoperative antiseptic solutions. Several treatments have been described in the literature, including curettage of the socket, irrigation with saline solution and application of Alveogyl® as a dressing. In addition, systemic therapy with antibiotics, anti-inflammatories and analgesics is frequently used. Still, there are reports of treatments that delay healing, highlighting the importance of effective approaches. Laser therapy has emerged as a promising complementary option, due to its analgesic, anti-inflammatory and healing effects. With low energy densities and adequate wavelengths, laser therapy has shown positive results in the tissue repair process. This study discusses the effectiveness of laser therapy as a non-invasive and complementary therapeutic approach in the treatment of dry socket, providing a comprehensive overview of its application and potential benefits. Based on the literature review and clinical evidence, laser therapy emerges as a promising option to improve patients' quality of life and accelerate the healing process in cases of post-extraction alveolitis.
