Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1. To assess the potential role of low level laser therapy (LLLT) on soft tissue healing of extraction sockets.Timepoint: Baseline, 3days, 7days and 84days—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. To evaluate the rate of bone formation and changes in bone density after low level laser therapy (LLLT) in post extraction socket using 3 dimensional radiographic analysis by Cone Beam Computerised tomography. 2. To compare the pain perception of patients in extraction site treated with and without low level laser therapy.Timepoint: Baseline, 3days, 7days, 84days—
