Summary

Objective: To investigate the effects of single session dual wavelength low dose laser therapy to be applied after third molar tooth extraction on postoperative pain, edema and physical activities.

Materials and Methods: Thirty-six patients who applied for the extraction of a Class III and position B lower impacted wisdom tooth were included in the study. The patients were divided into 2 groups as laser and control group. Envelope selection method was used for randomization of patients. After the surgery, a single session of double wavelength low-dose laser therapy was applied to the patients. On the 2nd and 7th postoperative days, pain was measured with the VAS scale, edema was measured by face measurements of 3 different points, and quality of life was measured with the modified Posse scale.
