The purpose of this preliminary, double–blind, placebo-control study was to evaluate the effect ofGaAlAs diode laser on wound healing and pain reduction in patients after extraction of impactedlower third molars by infrared thermography. Material and methods: The study population of twopatients was divided into group A treated by GaAlAs diode laser with a wavelength 830 nm andmaximal output power of 100 mW and group B treated by placebo laser. Therapeutic Schedule: Theenergy density per point was 12 J, treatment time 2 minutes, the total energy density for onetreatment session was 36 J. Treatment intervals were 10 minutes after extraction, 1 and 3 days afterextraction. Patients in group B were treated with a placebo probe in the same schedule. Patientsevaluated the level of pain and swelling on 100 mm Visual Analog Scale. Thermographicmeasurements were performed by ThermaCAM™ SC 2000 before extraction, 30 minutes afterextraction and on the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 8th days. Results: The patient treated by active laser reportedmore pain and swelling during the first week after tooth extraction than the patient treated byplacebo laser. However, the comparison of thermograms of patients treated by placebo and activelaser showed the acceleration of wound healing after extraction in the patient treated with GaAsAldiode laser. Conclusion: The treatment by GaAlAs diode laser, 830 nm and total energy density forone treatment session 36 J had a stimulation effect on the healing process but did not lead toreduction of pain and swelling in the patient after dental surgery. |
