Design outcomes
Primary

|---|---|
| Expected Outcome 1: Postoperative pain is estimated to be lower in the photobiomodulation group (mean = 1.5), one, three, and seven days after intervention, measured by visual analog scale. ;Expected Outcome 2: The degree of patient satisfaction is expected to be between optimal and excellent for both groups, measured by parameters ranging from very poor to excellent.;Expected Outcome 3: The size of the surgical wound is expected to decrease to 0 at 21 days of follow-up in the laser group, while in the anti-inflammatory group the surgical wound will still remain for 30 days after intervention.;Expected Outcome 4: The average quality of life as measured by the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) is estimated to be between 1.5 and 2.5 for both groups. | — |
