Diode-laser-assisted biopsy and photobiomodulation therapy in the management of Sjögren’s disease: a case report
This case highlights the use of laser for safe biopsy of minor salivary glands in Sjögren's disease and the potential of intraoral and extraoral photobiomodulation therapy, including lymphatic node stimulation, combined with active oxygen-lactoferrin-based oral care as an effective adjunctive protocol for the clinical treatment of Sjögren's disease.
