The profound impact of burning mouth syndrome (BMS) on patients' quality life (QoL) highlights the critical need to identify effective treatments for this condition. This study aims evaluate and compare health-related (HRQoL) oral (OHRQoL) among individuals diagnosed with BMS, focusing different treatment modalities. For that purpose, a scoping review was designed following Preferred Reporting Items Systematic Reviews Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) reporting guidelines registration International Prospective Register (PROSPERO). An electronic search then conducted in March 2024, encompassing databases: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, Web Science, Trip Database. Publications were deemed eligible if they assessed BMS QoL.

Health-Related Quality of Life with Iatrogenic Inferior Alveolar Nerve Injuries Treated with Photobiomodulation: A Comparative Study

Journal of Clinical Medicine, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 13(23), P. 7237 - 7237

Published: Nov. 28, 2024

Background/Objectives: Photobiomodulation therapy (PBM) creates a biostimulatory or modulatory effect, promoting tissue regeneration and improving patients’ health-related quality of life (HRQoL). PBM has shown promise as an effective treatment management strategy for peripheral nerve injuries, including inferior alveolar (IAN) damage. This study aims to assess the impact on HRQoL in patients with iatrogenic IAN injuries. Methods: A prospective was implemented investigate research question. treatments were administered weekly, patient discharge contingent upon either complete recovery stabilization associated signs symptoms. assessed using EQ-5D-5L questionnaire at initial final appointments. Results: The included 71 participants, divided into 3 groups based etiology: third molar surgery, mandibular orthognathic dental implant surgery. results showed widespread reduction symptoms along statistically significant improvement (p < 0.001) across four five dimensions questionnaire, well perceived health levels both Groups I II. Group III also demonstrated notable improvement; however, due small sample size, statistical analysis not conducted this group. Conclusions: comparable ability enhance alleviate injuries within different etiologies. These findings underscore effectiveness protocol used highlight potential avenues expanding field.
