Effects of Photobiomodulation (PBM) on Pain After Presentation of Aphthous Ulcers in Pediatric Dental Patients

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of laser photobiomodulation and "Magic Mouthwash" for treatment of pain in pediatric patients with aphthous ulcers , to assess how photobiomodulation influences the rate of healing of aphthous ulcers in pediatric patients and to measure changes in pain levels reported by pediatric patients undergoing photobiomodulation treatment for aphthous ulcers.
