Abstract

This systematic review aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of low-level laser therapy in controlling postoperative pain in lower third molar extractions. A search was carried out in MEDLINE/PubMed, Web of Science and Cochrane Library (CENTRAL) databases, using the “low-level laser therapy”, “photobiomodulation therapy”, “impacted mandibular third molar”, “mandibular third molar”, “third molar extraction” descriptors and 2625 studies were found, including only randomized clinical trials published until July 2020, with no restrictions on language and country of study. Selected studies were submitted to initial screening based on the reading of titles, abstracts and full article, and duplicate studies were excluded. Overall, 2562 articles were found, of which only 15 randomized clinical trials were included in this review. A total of 648 patients (16–44 years) who received low-level laser therapy as an intervention and placebo in their control group were evaluated. The pain evaluation criterion was the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) on the second and seventh days after surgery. Photobiomodulation with low-level laser showed statistically significant reduction in postoperative pain in lower third molar extractions, both on the second (MD: − 0.59; CI: − 0.92, − 0.27) and seventh day after surgery (MD: − 0.76; CI: − 1.21, − 0.32).
