Even though various treatment modalities have been proposed, the ideal approach still remains to be debated.

All patients received LLLT applications during the postoperative period in addition to medical and surgical treatment. Laser applications covering the entirety of the surgical site were performed with GaAlAs diode laser with the following parameters: 808\u2009nm wavelength, 0.5 W power, continuous wave, noncontact mode at 0.5\u20131\u2009cm distance from the oral mucosa, spot size 0.28\u2009cm\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">R<\/jats:italic>\n                    =6\u2009mm), for 3\u2009sec per point (10\u2009sec per cm\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    ), and energy density of 5\u2009J\/cm\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    (energy per point,1.4\u2009J).\n                    <jats:bold>\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Results:<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:bold>\n                    Elimination of previously recorded symptoms and a stable mucosal closure was achieved in all patients.
