Single-Session Extraoral Photobiomodulation Reduces Early Postoperative Pain But Not Edema or Trismus After Impacted Mandibular Third Molar Extraction: A Randomized Controlled Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Dual-wavelength GaAlAs laser (650+904 nm) for Impacted Mandibular Third Molar and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 70 participants across 1 site.
Signals
Detailed Summary
Postoperative pain, edema, and trismus are frequent complications following impacted mandibular third molar surgery. This randomized controlled trial evaluated the effects of a single-session extraoral dual-wavelength photobiomodulation (PBM) (650+904 nm) applied immediately after extraction. The study aimed to assess the impact of this therapy on postoperative pain, edema, trismus, and quality of life (QoL) on days 2 and 7.
Study Details
Timeline
Arms & Interventions
Participants received a single 10-minute session of extraoral dual-wavelength photobiomodulation (650+904 nm) immediately following the surgical extraction.
Participants underwent the same standardized surgical extraction protocol but received no additional photobiomodulation therapy.
Interventions
Extraoral PBM (GRR Laser) applied for 10 minutes, delivering a total energy of 270 J (fluence: 2.73 J/cm² and irradiance: 4.54 mW/cm²).
