| Abstract | ||
| The goal of this study was to determine the effectiveness of a single dose of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on the pain of patients after tooth extraction. Thirty patients in total were divided into two treatment groups. Each group consists of fifteen patients. Group A received a single dose of LLLT 20 minutes after tooth extraction with (0.3 W, 30 sec, 9 J/cm2) diode laser. The irradiation was extra-orally 1 cm away from the site of interest. Group B is the control group. The patients' level of pain was assessed. Visual analog scale (VAS) was utilized to quantify pain intensity in the 2nd and 7th days after extraction. Results indicated that (Group A) had significantly decreased VAS values than (Group B) on postoperative day 7. The current study suggested that there is a significant effect of single dose (LLLT) on lowering pain following tooth extraction. | ||
