Abstract

The present work compares constructive peculiarities of laser devices manufactured both in Russia and abroad. It also compares the effectiveness of various techniques applied for treating oral mucositis (OM) in children. The authors indicate the following limitations in foreign laser models which were used for treating OM: the only light emitted by laser, small light spot, continuous mode, only one emitter. Characteristics of Russian laser devices for comparison: laser light is pulsed; devices have not only laser light emitters but also red and infrared light emitters plus a source of constant magnet field. In addition, light spot is 4 cm2; professional apparatuses have two emitters. The authors analyze reasons of not wide application of laser therapy in oncology.
