ĐÁNH GIÁ HIỆU QUẢ SỬ DỤNG LASER DIODE SAU PHẪU THUẬT NHỔ RĂNG KHÔN HÀM DƯỚI MỌC LỆCH NGẦM TẠI BỆNH VIỆN QUÂN Y 103

Abstract

Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of low-level laser therapy diode after impacted lower wisdom teeth extraction surgery at Military Hospital 103. Methods: A prospective, controlled clinical intervention study was carried out on 90 patients, who were divided into 2 groups, undergoing impacted lower wisdom teeth extraction surgery at the Dental Department, Military Hospital 103, Vietnam Military Medical University from September 2022 to June 2023. In group 1, a laser diode was not emitted into the alveolar acupoint after tooth extraction; in group 2, a diode laser was emitted into the alveolar acupoint after tooth extraction. Evaluation of the characteristics of pain level after 2h, 4h, and 6h, and pain, swelling, and jaw tightness after surgery after 1 day, 2 days, and 7 days after surgery in 2 groups of patients. Results: The average number of pain relievers used in patients without laser treatment was 2.29 ± 1.85 tablets, while that in patients with laser treatment group was 0.49 ± 0.73. There was a significant reduction (p < 0.05) in swelling, pain, and jaw tightness between the low-power diode laser group and the control group on the first and second day after surgery. Conclusion: The laser diode effectively reduces swelling, pain, and tightness in the jaw after impacted lower wisdom teeth extraction surgery.
