N2  - Purpose: the purpose of this study is to assess therapeutic efficacy of Ga-Al-As laser as a method of treatment for chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis in cancer patients. Methods:- Thirty patients who had oral mucositis and received chemotherapy  , were divided randomly into two groups. Group (A) received the Ga-Al-As laser therapy irradiation in addition to routine medical treatment. Group (B) received placepo, Ga-Al-As in addition to routine medical treatment. Results:- the laser therapy group (group A) showed therapeutic superiority when compared with the control group (group B).After 2 weeks of treatment application, the mean grade of oral mucositis (OM) in laser group was significantly lower in the laser group than the mean grade in the control group and also the mean value of pain score was significantly lower in the laser therapy group than the control group. Conclusion:-The low level laser therapy can decrease the severity of oral mucositis and pain. No side effects were noted with LLLT. This is a therapy that should be made available to oncology patients experiencing mucositis
