About

This study evaluated the effect of low-level laser therapy on postoperative pain and wound healing in children undergoing primary molar extractions 40children, 6-10 years of age, systemically healthy, and had atraumatic extraction indications of bilateral primary molar teeth were included in the study. A randomly selected tooth was extracted under local anesthesia in the first session. Only the clot formation on the socket was observed and photographed in the control group. Other group extractions were performed 2weeks later. The LLLT group was treated with a 980 nm wavelength Doctor Smile Wiser diode laser and photographed. Non-epithelialized surface measurements were performed with the ImageJ program. Pain assessment was performed with the Wong-Baker Pain Scale. Statistical analyses were performed with SPSS software.

Low- Level Laser Group (Doctor Smile Wiser)

Experimental group

Description:

In the Laser group, the diode laser device Doctor Smile Wiser (Wiser, Doctor Smile, Milan, Italy) (Figue 1) with a wavelength of 980 nm and a power of 0.5 W was used for LLLT. During the procedure, the patient, physician, and assistant staff wore protective glasses (Wiser, Doctor Smile, Milan, Italy). With 300 mW of energy, a 400 m tip held 1 cm away from the extraction socket was applied to the extraction socket for 60 seconds from three points determined from the vestibule, lingual/palatal, and occlusal surfaces.

Treatment:

Other: Tooth extraction
