Evalution of the Effects of PRP and LLLT on Postoperative Complications and Wound Healing After Impacted Third Molar

Summary

The aim of the study was to compare the possible effects of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and low-level laser (BIOLASE) on postoperative complications after extraction of impacted mandibular wisdom teeth. 60 impacted wisdom teeth of 30 healthy individuals who applied to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Faculty of Dentistry, XXX University, with the indication of extraction of impacted mandibular wisdom teeth were included in the study. 60 impacted wisdom teeth of the individuals were randomly divided into two groups (A and B). In a randomized controlled trial, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) was applied to the first group (A) (one side of the same patients) and low-level laser therapy (LLLT) was applied to the second group (B) (the other side of the same patient) immediately after surgery. VAS (Visual analog scale) for pain assessment, facial measurements for edema assessment and maximum mouth opening for trismus assessment were compared with preoperative values.
