Clinical and thermographic evaluation after lower third molar extractions and the application of different photobiomodulation protocols: double-blind randomised clinical trial

ConclusionsThe association of the 660  nm with 808 nm, and the increase in energy did not showed more benefits in pain reduction oedema, or acceleration of the closure of the soft tissues of the dental sockets of lower third molars, in the protocols used here.Clinical relevanceThere is no need to combine lasers at wavelengths of 660 and 808  nm to reduce oedema, pain and repair of soft tissues after extraction of lower third molars.Clinical trial registrationThis trial was registered in the Brazilian Registry of Clinical Trials (ReBEC) with the following code: RBR-66pyrh8, on 29th December, 2022.
