Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Objective: To investigate the effects of single session dual wavelength low dose laser therapy to be applied after third molar tooth extraction on postoperative pain, edema and physical activities.

Materials and Methods: Thirty-six patients who applied for the extraction of a Class III and position B lower impacted wisdom tooth were included in the study. The patients were divided into 2 groups as laser and control group. Envelope selection method was used for randomization of patients. After the surgery, a single session of double wavelength low-dose laser therapy was applied to the patients. On the 2nd and 7th postoperative days, pain was measured with the VAS scale, edema was measured by face measurements of 3 different points, and quality of life was measured with the modified Posse scale.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Objective and background: Pain, edema, and trismus are common problems after tooth extraction. Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) is frequently used as an adjunctive method to reduce these problems. However, there is no consensus in the literature regarding the type, power, session duration, and application frequency of the laser for this treatment method. The aim of this study is to examine the effectiveness of a single-session application of dual-wavelength PBMT (using a 904 nm GaAlAs infrared laser and a 650 nm red laser) on pain, edema, trismus, and the quality of life of patients following impacted mandibular third molar extraction.

Methods: The study included patients whose impacted mandibular third molars were to be extracted for prophylactic purposes. The patients were divided into two groups as the PBMT group and the placebo control group. Pain, swelling, maximum mouth opening, and quality of life parameters of the patients were evaluated.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

hee primary outcome was postoperative pain, evaluated using the visual analogue scale (VAS) score at Baseline, for 7 days following surgery, postoperative swelling and maximum mouth opening values evaluated at 2nd and 7th days in subject treated for third molar surgery with piezoelectric surgery or rotating drills. The secondary outcomes chosen were changes in quality of life using a questionnaire form.

Dual wavelength low dose laser

Immediately after suturing the patient, a low-dose laser application was performed on the laser group using the square probe (16 J/min) of the locally produced GRR laser device (Ankara, Turkey) for 5 minutes. The device combines a 22 mW GaAlAs infrared laser with a wavelength of 904 nm and a 10 mW red laser with a wavelength of 650 nm. The square probe contains 5 red lasers and 4 infrared lasers, covering an area of 30mm X 30mm.
