Resumo: A 61-year-old female patient referred odynophagia and the presence of bullous lesions on the trunk, scalp and limbs. She was hospitalized with epigastralgia associated with gastric ulcers, evolving to painful bullae and ulcers in the pharynx and oral cavity, compromising her nutritional intake. Based on clinical and anatomopathological findings the diagnostic was conclusive for pemphigus vulgaris. On oral clinical evaluation, severe stomatitis, trismus, biofilm accumulation and tongue coating were observed. The systemic treatment involved the use of immunosuppressants, analgesics and antibiotics. Oral hygiene guidelines with mechanical and chemical devices and a low-level laser therapy were instituted. After 28 sessions of laser therapy, there was a significant clinical improvement and resolution of oral lesions. The oral care contributed to a better management of oral lesions, providing patient comfort and preventing major complications during hospitalization. The patient is clinically well and stills routinely monitored by the dental team.
