Resumen
La tesis " Laser Terapéutico y dolor orofacial: Una Revisión Sistemática de la Eficacia y Seguridad" tiene como objetivo evaluar la eficacia y seguridad de la terapia con láser en el tratamiento del dolor orofacial. Para ello, se llevó a cabo una revisión sistemática de la literatura científica existente sobre el tema, incluyendo estudios clínicos controlados y aleatorizados, revisiones sistemáticas y metaanálisis. Los resultados de la revisión sistemática indican que el tratamiento con láser puede ser una opción efectiva para aliviar el dolor orofacial. Se encontraron pruebas suficientes de la eficacia del láser de baja intensidad en el tratamiento del dolor después de procedimientos dentales y en el tratamiento de la disfunción temporomandibular. En cuanto a la seguridad, se encontró que la terapia con láser es generalmente segura y bien tolerada por los pacientes, con muy pocos efectos secundarios reportados. Los efectos secundarios más comunes incluyen enrojecimiento y sensación de calor en el área tratada, que suelen ser leves y transitorios. En síntesis, la revisión sistemática sugiere que la terapia con láser puede ser una opción efectiva y segura para el tratamiento del dolor orofacial. Sin embargo, se necesitan más estudios para confirmar estos hallazgos y determinar los protocolos de tratamiento óptimos para diferentes tipos de dolor orofacial. Además, es importante que los profesionales de la salud que utilizan el láser para el tratamiento del dolor orofacial se aseguren de estar adecuadamente capacitados y entrenados en el uso del equipo y en la evaluación y seguimiento de los pacientes tratados.

"The thesis "Therapeutic Laser and Orofacial Pain: A Systematic Review of Efficacy and Safety" aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of laser therapy in the treatment of orofacial pain. To achieve this, a systematic review of existing scientific literature on the topic was conducted, including controlled and randomized clinical trials, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses. The results of the systematic review indicate that laser treatment can be an effective option for relieving orofacial pain. There is sufficient evidence of the efficacy of low-level laser therapy in treating pain after dental procedures and temporomandibular joint dysfunction. Regarding safety, it was found that laser therapy is generally safe and well-tolerated by patients, with very few reported side effects. The most common side effects include redness and a sensation of heat in the treated area, which are usually mild and transient. In summary, the systematic review suggests that laser therapy may be an effective and safe option for the treatment of orofacial pain. However, further studies are needed to confirm these findings and determine optimal treatment protocols for different types of orofacial pain. Additionally, it is important that healthcare professionals using lasers for the treatment of orofacial pain ensure that they are adequately trained and skilled in the use of equipment and in the evaluation and monitoring of treated patients Keywords: Pain, orofacial, Laser, Treatment.
