Background:
Several photobiomodulation (PBM) protocols with low-power lasers have been reported for pain control and tissue repair in the postoperative period of oral surgeries. However, there are still no reports of a protocol for bichectomy surgeries' postoperative period.
Objective:
This article presents six reports of clinical cases in which bichectomy surgery was performed.
Methods:
In the postoperative period, three patients were submitted to PBM with low-power lasers, while three patients did not receive it. Facial edema was evaluated using a millimeter tape. Pain was determined using the visual analog scale.
Results:
Data of each clinical case were evaluated in a descriptive way and compared.
Conclusions:
The efficacy of the PBM protocol on the postoperative period of bichectomy surgeries was evidenced by the decrease of edema and pain.
