Resumen
Objetivo: Revisar el uso de la terapia con láser de baja potencia en los trastornos neurosensoriales en Odontología. Métodos: Se realizó una revisión integrativa de la base de datos PubMed, resultando 83 estudios, de los cuales 65 fueron excluidos, resultando 18 estudios. Resultados: La mayoría de los artículos fueron producidos en 2020, con predominio de publicaciones de Asia y Europa. Las longitudes de onda oscilaron entre 632,5 nm y 1064 nm, destacando el uso del infrarrojo. Los resultados se evaluaron utilizando la escala visual analógica y monofilamentos de Semmes-Weinstein. El protocolo más eficaz para el tratamiento de los nervios alveolar inferior y lingual fue el uso de luz infrarroja a 830 nm; para el nervio facial, luz a 810 nm, con una dosis total de 324 J/cm² en 21 sesiones. En la terapia para los trastornos del nervio trigémino, la combinación de luz roja a 618 nm con ozonoterapia al 75% promovió una mejor curación y un aumento de las células de Schwann. Consideraciones finales: La terapia con láser de baja intensidad es una herramienta eficaz en la recuperación funcional de los nervios lesionados, contribuyendo a la regeneración y mejora de los síntomas de los pacientes.
