Abstract
We compared Erbium (Er):YAG laser with a surgical bur for removal of partially erupted lower third molars. Patients were randomised to be treated by either laser or bur. A total of 42 patients (laser=22; bur=20) were treated. A greater reduction in the range of mouth opening was found after laser than after bur treatment. Postoperative pain was more common after bur treatment. The duration of operation was considerably longer with laser than with bur. No persistent complications were encountered.
