Conditions

Impacted or semi impacted third molar

Interventions

Sixty patients who will undergo extraction of 4 third molars will be involved in this study. Patients will be allocated into groups at two times. Firstly, the patients will be anesthetized to remove t
ATB3: Use of analgesics, anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotics (Amoxicillin) for 3 days postoperatively
ATB7: Use of analgesics, anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotics (Amoxicillin) for 7 days postoperatively
LLLT: Use of laser therapy in low intensity with red and infrared light in 3 sessions for 7 days.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The use of laser therapy and articaine anesthetic will reduce pain sensitivity by 4 points to be assessed by the VAS scale

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The use of laser therapy will improve healing and reduce edema and surgical complications in 10% after third molar extraction compared to other treatments.;The use of laser therapy will increase bone density and fractal analysis values ??by 10% compared to other treatments after third molar extraction.;The use of Articaine will reduce beginning of the anesthesia time by 10% compared to Lidocaine.
