Abstract
Low level laser therapy (LLLT) has a role in wound bed preparation, wound healing process, joint stiffness, nerve regeneration, antimicrobial action and prevention of postburn scarring. Superficial burns are usually managed by healing by secondary intention. Deeper burns need early excision or debridement followed by cover by either skin graft or flap. Regenerative technology like low level laser therapy (LLLT) helps in healing of superficial burns. Further, Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) helps in controlling infection & promoting healthy granulation so that burn wound could be covered with skin graft or flap. After wound healing LLLT helps in prevention of hypertrophic or abnormal scarring. In this study, we studied the role of LLLT in management of pediatric thermal burns.
