Summary

Postoperative pain, edema, and trismus are frequent complications following impacted mandibular third molar surgery. This randomized controlled trial evaluated the effects of a single-session extraoral dual-wavelength photobiomodulation (PBM) (650+904 nm) applied immediately after extraction. The study aimed to assess the impact of this therapy on postoperative pain, edema, trismus, and quality of life (QoL) on days 2 and 7. The results indicate that PBM effectively reduces early postoperative pain and improves QoL on the second day after surgery, although it does not significantly affect edema or trismus.
