[Soft laser in postoperative care in dentoalveolar treatment]

After removal of lower third molars a postoperative treatment with a low energy laser (6mW-HeNe) was investigated to compare different parameters of wound healing with a control group. A positive influence of wound granulation seems to be possible; no side effects could be observed. There was neither interindividual nor intraindividual any statistical significance for the efficiency of this sort of laser-application.
