A Unique Application of Low Laser Therapy After Third Molar Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

30 healthy participants of both genders, with 18 to 35 years-of-age, with the necessity of inferior bilateral third molar removal will be selected. Inclusion criteria will consider the presence of upper central incisive and same surgical difficulty for third molar extraction. Participants that present chronic TMJ pain, neurological or psychiatric disorders, pericoronitis, anti-inflammatory or analgesic use for the last 15 days, bisphosphonates usage history at any time, tabagism, pregnancy or a family history of photosensitivity and hypersensibility to analgesics, anti-inflammatory or antibiotics will not be included. The surgical procedures will be randomized for the group to be assigned respecting the interval of one month between the surgeries.

Intra-oral group (IO) will be that in whose participant will receive the LLLT (Photon Lase III DMC equipment) with 660 nm wavelength, 100 mW of power, 107J / cm2 of power density, during 30 seconds, positioning the tip of the laser device in straight contact with each of the four points in the surgical area:

1. corresponding to the occlusal surface of the tooth surgically extracted,
2. in the middle third of the lingual surface, point
3. the middle third of the buccal surface and point
4. retro molar triangle region. Each point will receive energy 3J (Et= 12J).

The extra-oral group (EO) will receive phototherapy with the 808nm of wavelength following the same above protocol although positioning the laser point over the skin in straight contact with four points on the masseter muscle:

1. next jaw insert,
2. lower middle region,
3. upper middle region
4. near the insertion of the zygomatic arch.
