Introduction: The low-level laser therapy has been accepted globally as cell bio-modulator, used to reach ideal therapeutic effects, acting in the reduction of the pain response, with anti-inflammatory effects, stimulating local micro-circulation and wounds repair, promoting a rapid recovery, which brings a better quality of life to the patient. In this study, we aim to to determine the effectiveness of low-level laser therapy on reducing the pain and swelling after removal of impacted third molars.
Materials And Methods: In this present prospective randomized clinical study, third molar surgeries were performed in thirty patients who were divided into two equal groups (placebo group and study group) a placebo group with routine treatment and a study group with low-level laser therapy which was applied both intraorally and extraorally after the surgical extraction of mandibular third molar.
Results: The parameters such as postoperative pain, edema, and trismus were assessed on 1 and 7 day. All these parameters showed statistically significant results in patients with low-level laser therapy.
Conclusions: Low-level laser therapy was effective in reducing the postoperative pain, edema, and trismus in the third molar surgeries.

Third-degree burns are severe thermal injuries that require prolonged recovery periods and are associated with significant sequelae. Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) has emerged as a promising approach for treating skin injuries, although parameter selection remains controversial. This study investigated the effects of PBMT using red (wavelength 660 nm) and infrared (wavelength 808 nm) lasers on tissue repair in third-degree burns in rats.

Background: Distal peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a prevalent issue among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Despite the widespread use of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and limited use of Tecar therapy in physiotherapy for diabetics, the synergistic effect of these two interventions in a long-term follow-up has not yet been determined.
Objectives: This study aimed to compare the effects of Tecar therapy and LLLT separately and simultaneously over a 3-month follow-up period on clinical symptoms and health-related quality of life in individuals with type 2 diabetes and DPN.

Photobiomodulation (PBMT) has been investigated as a non-invasive approach to modulate inflammation and muscle recovery, especially after intense exercise. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of PBMT on the dynamics of monocyte subpopulations and cytokine levels after a plyometric exercise session in physically active men aged 18-25 years. This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, 22 participants were divided into PBMT and placebo groups.
