   Abstract:	Due to insufficient casual therapy of oral symptoms of dyniae and pyrosis, we applied infrared soft laser in treatment of patients with those oral symptoms. The laser had a wavelength of 904 nm and a radiation strength of 20 W. The tests were performed on 40 persons with stomatopyrosis and stomatodiniae symptoms, under application of laser through 5 days consecutively with radiation of mucosa lasting 3 minutes on 1 cm2. The testing group was represented by persons exclusively under the laser therapy and the control group was represented by 30 persons, who were under a medicamentose therapy with vasodilatator applied with iontophoresis. By persons with stomatopyrosis and stomatodiniae symptoms analgetic effect was attained through the therapy with the laser already after the first application, and the pain and aches intensity was relieved every day during the therapy, by stomatodinae to complete healing. The obtained differences in the intensity of symptoms before and after the therapy were statistically important. The thermoestesiometric determination of laser efficiency by vasodilatation showed differences which were not important, although the temperature during the therapy has slightly increased for 0.1 degrees C. The soft laser can be used as an effective remedy in the treatment of oral symptoms of stomatopyrosis and stomatodinae.
