Abstract

Background: This study was conducted to assess the effect of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on managing pain and swelling after removal of impacted lower third molars.Methods: This randomized, double-blind, split-mouth designed study included patients presenting 2 symmetrically impacted mandibular third molars. One side of each participant was randomly assigned to the laser treatment and the other side served as placebo. LLLT was performed by intraoral application of a 660 nm laser (200 mW, 6 J/point, 4 points) followed by extraoral application of an 810 nm laser (200 mW, 6 J/point, 3 points). Irradiation from the 810 nm wavelength was repeated on days 2 and 4 after the operation. On the placebo side, the treatment protocol was similar to the experimental side but with laser simulation. The main outcomes were measuring the degree of pain over 7 days and calculating the edema coefficients on days 2, 4 and 7 after the operation. The data were analyzed using generalized linear models to determine the effect of group and time on pain level and edema coefficients.Results: The final sample consisted of 40 patients. Pain level was significantly lower in the laser than in the placebo side at all time points over the experiment (P<0.05). Swelling was significantly lower in the laser than in the placebo group on days 2, 4 and 7 after operation (P<0.05).Conclusion: LLLT proved to be effective in reducing the intensity of pain and swelling after removal of impacted third molars and could be recommended to alleviate patients’ symptoms following operation.
