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

Significant Difference

Background Low level lasers have been used as an alternative pain relief therapy for muscle and joint pain, since it induces analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and biomodulation effects of the physiological cell functions. The effectiveness of low-level laser therapy in temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD) treatment, however, is not well established. Although Surface electromyography (sEMG) has been suggested as a complementary means in TMD diagnosis, the effect of conservative treatments on muscle activity has not yet been thoroughly correlated with (sEMG) findings. Purpose To assess the efficacy of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) as compared to occlusive splint therapy (OST) on the TMJ opening index (TOI) and sEMG of masticatory muscles. Materials and methods 112 female subjects suffering from unilateral myogenous TMD, aged 21–30 years-old, were recruited and divided into three groups: LLLT; soft occlusive splint therapy OST and a waitlist group as controls. Outcome measures TMJ opening index (TOI), Visual analogue scale (VAS), surface electromyography (sEMG). Results A significant reduction was reported in TOI, VAS and the sEMG within the LLLT and OST groups as well as significant decrease in all outcomes between groups in favor of the LLLT group (P< 0.0001). Meanwhile, there was a weak significant difference within the control group probably attributed to the analgesic. Post-hoc pairwise comparisons between groups [control vs occlusive splints, control vs low-level laser and low-level laser vs occlusive splints] revealed significant differences in the VAS and TOI [P = 0.0001; 95% CI: 0.9–2.2, 1.61–4.01, 0.65–1.96]. Conclusions Findings support an evident short term therapeutic effect of the LLLT on improving VAS, TOI and sEMG in females suffering from myogenous TMD.
