I totally agree with Belinda, great job, photobiomodulation is a great strategy to manage oral mucositis, mainly if you use two protocols with individualized parameters for intra and extra oral. Based on my experience, the sooner you start the sessions, the preventive results are evident.
The association between photobiomodulation with the oral hygiene protocol acts to improve the quality of life of children.
