Lower third molar surgeries are most commonly associated with morbidities such as swelling, trismus, post-operative infection, dry socket and pain. Various modalities have been tried to reduce these unwanted adverse effects. In this study, we have evaluated the efficacy of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) in minimising morbidity associated with removal of impacted mandibular third molar.
This in-vivo study was conducted on 60 subjects with similar surgical protocol for both study and control group, with the additional intervention of LLLT in the former.
The results showed a statistically significant ( = 0.05) decrease in the level of pain, facial swelling and trismus in the study group.
LLLT, in continuous mode, has a significant effect in reducing post-extraction morbidities and formation of a stable blood clot within the tooth socket.
下颌第三磨牙手术最常与肿胀、牙关紧闭、术后感染、干槽症和疼痛等并发症相关。人们尝试了各种方法来减少这些不良副作用。在本研究中，我们评估了低强度激光疗法（LLLT）在将与拔除下颌阻生第三磨牙相关的并发症降至最低方面的疗效。
本体内研究对60名受试者进行，研究组和对照组采用相似的手术方案，前者额外接受了LLLT干预。
结果显示，研究组的疼痛程度、面部肿胀和牙关紧闭程度有统计学意义的降低（P = 0.05）。
连续模式的LLLT在减少拔牙后并发症以及在牙槽窝内形成稳定血凝块方面有显著效果。
