Summary. In the last three decades, the laser has had a particular
significance in dentistry. The soft laser is used in the therapy of aphtae,
viral infections, all painful conditions in the oral cavity etc., because
of its own positive effects on pain, better epitelization and shorter duration
of the disease. The aim of this paper is to determine the effects of the
soft laser on Herpes Simplex Labialis. Five patients with Herpes Simplex
Labialis were treated at the Department for oral and Parodontal Diseases
of the Dental Clinic of the Medical faculty of Niš. The patients were treated
by HeNe soft laser at five seances, with duration of laser radiation of
five minutes for one treatment. All the patients were first treated on
the second day after the Herpes appearance. The intensity of pain was reduced
even after the first treatment, and the crusts were formed after the second
treatment. Finally, almost all the. symptoms and signs of the disease disappeared
after the fifth treatment. Laser can be recommended in Herpes Simplex Labialis
therapy, for its evident analgetic effects, as well as for shorter disease
duration.

SOFT LASER U TERAPIJI HERBES SIMPLEX LABIALISA
U poslednje vreme laseru se pridaje poseban značaj u stomatologiji.
Laser se koristi u terapiji afti, virusnih infekcija, svih bolnih stanja
u usnoj duplji, zbog svog pozitivnog efekta na bol, bolju epitelizaciju
i kraće vreme trajanja bolesti. Cilj ovog rada je da se utvrdi terapijski
efekat lasera kod Herpes Simplex Labialisa. Obradjeno je pet pacijenata
sa Herpes Simplex Lobialisom na Odeljenju za bolesti usta i parodonta Stomatološke
klinike Medicinskog fakulteta u Nišu. Pacijenti su tretirani soft HeNe
laserom u pet seansi sa trajanjem laserske emisije od pet minuta. Svi pacijenti
su tretirani od drugog dana pojavljivanja bolesti. Već posle prve seanse
laserom došlo je do smanjenja intenziteta bola, a posle druge seanse do
stvaranja krusta. Konačno, posle pete seanse došlo je do nestanka skoro
svih simptoma i znakova bolesti. S obzirom na dobijene rezultate možemo
preporučiti soft laser u terapiji Herpes Simplex Labilisa, jer sigurno
dolazi do analgetičkog efekta i skraćenja vremena trajanja bolesti.
