Background
Among all the practices performed in the field of maxillofacial and oral surgery, extraction of impacted mandibular third molar is most common. And after extraction, some general complications may follow. Such as trismus, edema and pain. There has been researches made about the effectiveness of low level laser therapy to promote faster rehabilitation from post-extraction complications of mandibular third molar. The aim of this review is to find out the significance of LLLT for reducing the post-surgical complications of mandibular third molar extraction.
Method
Extensive search of relevant original article has been made from Pubmed using keywords on table 2, and under inclusion criteria of English researches made with more than 20 participants with in this decade. Also each article had to be accessible via Lithuanian university of health and sciences library web database. According to the articles collected, a systematic review was performed and written.
Result
From 243 articles found from Pubmed database, using PRISMA protocol(1), the articles used in this review were 9. The criteria for assessment was pain, edema and trismus. Out of 9 original articles used, 1 article was inconclusive in all three criteria, 6 articles showed significant improvement of condition in edema, and 6 articles showed significant reduction of pain. But only 3 articles had statistically significant improvement in trismus.
Conclusion
It is conclusive that the low level laser therapy is effective when it comes to post extraction complication of mandibular third molar, and there are differences between the effectiveness of LLLT according to the location of its application. But due to the limitations of assessment methods used in the original articles, further researches should be made for the effect of LLLT under more concrete assessment methods.
