Dental extractions, whether for impacted wisdom teeth or tooth decay, often result in postoperative complications such as pain, swelling, and delayed healing. Photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy has recently garnered attention as an effective modality for enhancing the healing process and alleviating pain following dental procedures, including extractions. This review aims to explore the efficacy of PBM in reducing postoperative pain and promoting wound healing in patients undergoing dental extractions. We examine the mechanisms underlying PBM, the evidence from clinical studies, and its potential benefits in clinical dentistry. Furthermore, the safety and practicality of PBM therapy in routine dental practice are discussed, along with future perspectives for its broader application in oral surgery
