Abstract Background The effect of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on pain mitigation following the third molar surgery is still controversial. The absence of a standard method for using laser among the studies is related to the types of sample selection, sample size, control, and LLLT parameters, which make pain mitigation following surgery more controversial. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the effect of LLLT on reducing pain, swelling, and trismus following the mandibular impacted third molar surgery. Methods This study was performed on 25 healthy subjects. After the surgery, amoxicillin 500 mg was prescribed every 8 h for a 7-day period besides oral Ibuprofen (Gelofen) 400 mg every 12 h for a 3-day period. The intraoral Laser diode 940 nm was applied immediately after suture on the tested side, while on the placebo side, a fiber tip was used with no laser radiation following surgery. Eventually, the pain score was evaluated by VAS index from the 1st to the 7th-day post-surgery and then analyzed by SPSS 24. Results The results indicate that the mean swelling and trismus before, during, 2 days after, and 7 days after the intervention did not differ significantly between the two studied groups. However, the results show that on the sixth and seventh days, the pain was significantly lower in the intervention group compared to the control group. Conclusions The results suggest that although the pain, swelling, and trismus following surgery were lower on the radiated side, only pain was found to be significant on the radiated side (p < 0.05). The registration number of the clinical trial in a Primary Registry in the WHO Registry Network is IRCT20141209020258N110 and the date of retrospective registration is 04/05/2019.

Background: The most frequently performed surgical procedure in dentistry is impacted third molar extraction with difficulty varies according to the location of the tooth. Laser therapy after surgery can accelerate cell and tissue reconstruction along with relieve post-operative pain. The objective of this study was to investigate the clinical and radiographic characteristics of impacted lower third molar and to evaluate the results of surgical extraction of impacted lower third molar with post-surgical low-level laser therapy (LLLT). Subjects and Methods: Clinical and radiographic data from 90 patients (average age 28.13 ± 5.38) subjected to a surgical extraction of lower third molar were pooled and divided randomly into 3 groups: group 1 received LLLT immediately after surgery intraorally, group 2 treated with LLLT immediately after the extraction extraorally. Patients received routine management with nonactivated laser were inserted in the control group. Assessments of pain, swelling and trismus level were carried out at 24, 48 hours and on the 7th day after surgery. Results: Correlation of wisdom teeth to ramus and adjacent teeth mainly type II (88.9%), type III accounted for 11.1%. Relative depth of wisdom teeth in the bone mainly position B (81.1%), position C (18.9%). Correlation of wisdom teeth axis to adjacent teeth: horizontal (58.9%), mesioangular impactions (40%) and distoangular impaction (1.1%). There were statistically significant decreases in the level of pain, edema and interincisal opening between the laser-treated groups and the control group on the 1st and 2nd postoperative day. Conclusions: Intraoral and extraoral post-surgical low-level laser therapy treatment was useful in reducing swelling, pain and trismus compared to placebo group in impacted third molar surgery. Key words: Impacted lower third molar, low- level laser therapy
