Evalution of the Effects of Platelet Rich Plasma and Low Level Laser Therapy on Postoperative Complications and Wound Healing After Impacted Third Molar
Evalution of the Effects of Platelet Rich Plasma and Low Level Laser Therapy on Postoperative Complications and Wound Healing After Impacted Third Molar
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.
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 lower wisdom teeth. Sixty impacted wisdom teeth of 30 healthy individuals who applied to XXX University, Faculty of Dentistry, Department of Oral, Dental and Maxillofacial Surgery with an indication for extraction of impacted lower wisdom teeth were included in the study. The 60 impacted wisdom teeth of the individuals were randomly divided into two groups (A and B). In a randomised, controlled study, the first group (A) (one side of the same patients) received platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and the second group (B) (the other side of the same patient): diode laser Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) were applied immediately to the patient after surgery. VAS (Visual analogue scale) was used for pain assessment and assessments were made at 3rd, 6th, 12th and 24th hours and at 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th days. For edema assessment, preoperative facial measurements were repeated on the 2nd and 7th postoperative days and recorded. For trismus evaluation, the maximum mouth opening measurement made preoperatively was repeated and recorded on postoperative days 2 and 7.
