Abstract
Background: Several photobiomodulation (PBM) protocols with low-power lasers have been reported for pain control and tissue repair in the postoperative period of oral surgeries. However, there are still no reports of a protocol for bichectomy surgeries' postoperative period.
Objective: This article presents six reports of clinical cases in which bichectomy surgery was performed.
Methods: In the postoperative period, three patients were submitted to PBM with low-power lasers, while three patients did not receive it. Facial edema was evaluated using a millimeter tape. Pain was determined using the visual analog scale.
Results: Data of each clinical case were evaluated in a descriptive way and compared.
Conclusions: The efficacy of the PBM protocol on the postoperative period of bichectomy surgeries was evidenced by the decrease of edema and pain.
期刊介绍:
Photobiomodulation, Photomedicine, and Laser Surgery (formerly Photomedicine and Laser Surgery) is the essential journal for cutting-edge advances and research in phototherapy, low-level laser therapy (LLLT), and laser medicine and surgery. The Journal delivers basic and clinical findings and procedures to improve the knowledge and application of these techniques in medicine.
