Effects of Photobiomodulation Conditioning in Impacted Third Molars

The participants in the active photobiomodulation group will be irradiated with infrared LED at a wavelength of 850 nm perpendicular to the surface of the skin in gentle stationary contact at three extraoral points. Treatment will be administered one hour prior to the surgical procedure as well as 48 hours and seven days (removal of sutures) after the first irradiation.

For the participants in the sham group, a device with a similar appearance will be used that did not emit radiation. Treatment will be administered one hour prior to the surgical procedure as well as 48 hours and seven days (removal of sutures) after the first irradiation.
