Sumario:INTRODUCTION: Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) has been of interest in the clinical application in dentistry. Hence, we evaluated the LLLT on the wound healing in the mandibular surgical extraction. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We conducted a prospective clinical study with 50 male subjects, equally distributed as controls and cases. Routine surgical extraction was done for control group, and in case group, LLLT was applied after the extraction. Evaluation was done for various parameters and after comparison the P value was less than 0.05 which was considered as significant. RESULTS: Significant difference was seen between the groups for the socket depth on 7(th) day, swelling on 1(st), 3(rd), and 5(th) days, and pain on all the days. CONCLUSION: LLLT can be successfully used for the surgical extractions.
