Group (B) received the Bioptron light therapy (BLT) in addition to the routine medical care of oral mucositis, duration of laser or BLT application was 10 minutes applied daily for 30 days. Results and conclusion: Results showed that application of both low level laser and BLT had a valuable healing effects on oral mucositis in cancer patients receiving chemotherapy.
