patients subjected to a tooth extraction and immediately given an intraoral PBM session with an EPIC X Biolase diode laser (BIOLASE, Inc. USA), with a voltage of 100-240 V, 1.5 A, a power of 0.5 W, and an application of an energy of 15J per cm², for 10-30 seconds at 1 mm of the tissue with an sterile surgical tip. It was applied at three points in the area: buccal, pala-tal/lingual, and occlusal to stimulate the tissue.
