Overview

Randomized clinical trial shows that antimicrobial photodynamic therapy reduces pain and infection in postoperative recovery of lower third molars.

Key Points

  • Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy significantly reduces postoperative infection and edema after third molar extraction.
  • Statistical differences were found in pain reduction with aPDT observed by day 7 compared to other treatments.
  • This randomized, blinded clinical trial included 22 patients undergoing three treatment protocols following surgery.
  • The findings support the use of aPDT for enhancing postoperative recovery by decreasing inflammation and improving outcomes.
