Resumen
Objetivo: Analizar la evidencia actual relacionada con el uso de la terapia con láser en odontopediatría, a través de una revisión integradora. Métodos: Se realizó una búsqueda con términos relacionados al tema, en la base de datos PubMed, en febrero de 2024. Se seleccionaron artículos publicados en los últimos cinco años, que tuvieran disponibilidad de texto completo y que abordaran el tema. Para incluir artículos se leyeron títulos, resúmenes y texto completo. Se recogieron los siguientes datos: autores y fecha de publicación, diseño del estudio, objetivo principal y conclusión. Resultados: La búsqueda inicial arrojó 179 artículos, 77 de los cuales fueron publicados en los últimos 5 años y 75 artículos con texto completo disponible. Después del análisis individual de cada artículo, se incluyeron 10 estudios en esta revisión. La mayoría de los estudios abordaron la metodología de ensayos clínicos aleatorios. La terapia con láser se utilizó para procedimientos que implicaban anestesia dental, pulpotomía, reducción de bacterias en la biopelícula dental, aceleración del movimiento ortodóncico y como complemento para reducir la hipersensibilidad de la dentina en dientes afectados por MIH. Consideraciones finales: La láserterapia mostró resultados positivos en odontopediatría, promoviendo tratamientos más cómodos y con menos ansiedad en los niños.
