Summary

This study evaluated the effect of low-level laser therapy on postoperative pain and wound healing in children undergoing primary molar extractions 40children, 6-10 years of age, systemically healthy, and had atraumatic extraction indications of bilateral primary molar teeth were included in the study. A randomly selected tooth was extracted under local anesthesia in the first session. Only the clot formation on the socket was observed and photographed in the control group. Other group extractions were performed 2weeks later. The LLLT group was treated with a 980 nm wavelength Doctor Smile Wiser diode laser and photographed. Non-epithelialized surface measurements were performed with the ImageJ program. Pain assessment was performed with the Wong-Baker Pain Scale. Statistical analyses were performed with SPSS software.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Tooth extraction	Tooth extractions were performed by a single physician. Topical anesthesia (Xylo-caine, Astra, Södertalje, Switzerland) was applied to the dried mucosa in the area to be lo-calized with the help of an ear stick for 1 minute. Posterior-superior-alveolar nerve block anesthesia and palatal anesthesia were applied for the upper primary molars; Inferi-or-alveolar nerve block anesthesia and lingual anesthesia (Ultracain, Aventis Pharma, Is-tanbul, Turkey) were applied for the lower primary molars. After anesthesia control was achieved, a randomly selected tooth was extracted. Tooth extraction on the other side was performed two weeks later. During the shootings, attention was paid to the traumatic ap-proach. After the control of bleeding was achieved, data were recorded for each group.
