The gingiva is most commonly involved, followed by the palate and the buccal mucosa. High-dosage systemic steroids are widely used for its treatment. LPT has been shown to improve wound healing and relieve pain. Its efficacy depends on the amount of energy delivered to the tissue, exposure time, and delivery method.\n                    <jats:bold>\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Materials and Methods:<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:bold>\n                    A white 47-y-old man with CP who used systemic steroids for the previous 5\u2009y was examined at our clinic. Extra- and intraoral examination revealed classic signs of the condition. LPT (GaAlAs diode laser, 660\u2009nm wavelength, 30\u2009mW, continuous wave, diameter \u223c3\u2009mm, 60\u2009J\/cm\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    per session) was used in association with the steroids. LPT was performed in a punctual contact manner every other day on the oral mucosa. Maintenance of the treatment was carried out weekly because interruption of the LPT resulted in the recurrence of the lesions. At the time that this report was written, the patient had been undergoing twice weekly treatments for 6 months without signs of lesion recurrence.\n                    <jats:bold>\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Conclusion:<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:bold>\n                    Concomitant use of systemic steroids and LPT showed a positive effect on controlling oral CP lesions and on improving both oral health and the quality of life of the patient.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1089\/pho.2008.2352","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,11,1]],"date-time":"2009-11-01T07:21:21Z","timestamp":1257060081000},"page":"825-828","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Laser Light May Improve the Symptoms of Oral Lesions of Cicatricial Pemphigoid: A Case Report"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"27","author":[{"given":"Priscila Chagas","family":"Oliveira","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal University of Bahia","place":["Brazil"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"suffix":"Junior","given":"Jo\u00e3o Alves","family":"Reis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal University of Bahia","place":["Brazil"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Juliana Andrade","family":"Lacerda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal University of Bahia","place":["Brazil"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nara Teixeira","family":"Silveira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal University of Bahia","place":["Brazil"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Juliana Monteiro","family":"Santos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal University of Bahia","place":["Brazil"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marina C.","family":"Vitale","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pavia University","place":["Italy"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ant\u00f4nio Luiz Barbosa","family":"Pinheiro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal University of Bahia","place":["Brazil"]},{"name":"Univap","place":["Brazil"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","volume-title":"Patologia Oral e Maxilofacial","author":"Neville B.W.","year":"2004","unstructured":"Neville B.W., , Damm D.D., , Allen C.M., , Bouquot J.E. 2004.
