Evidence on the clinical efficacy of combined low-intensity laser therapy and magnetic therapy in the early postoperative period remains limited and is represented by isolated studies with a low level of evidence.</p> <p><bold>AIM:</bold><italic> </italic>To evaluate the efficacy of a physiotherapy regimen consisting of sequential application of low-intensity laser therapy and low-frequency magnetic therapy in adult patients undergoing elective tooth extraction, in comparison with standard pharmacotherapy.</p> <p><bold>METHODS:</bold><italic> </italic>An open-label randomized controlled trial was conducted involving 60 patients aged 18–55 years undergoing elective tooth extraction. Participants were allocated to two equal groups: the intervention group (standard therapy plus three sessions of low-intensity laser therapy and low-frequency magnetic therapy) and the control group (standard therapy alone). Outcome measures included the incidence of alveolitis (primary outcome), pain intensity assessed using a visual analogue scale, edema severity measured by linear anthropometry, dynamics of local reparative processes, analgesic consumption, and adverse event recording. Follow-up was performed over 7 days post-surgery.</p> <p><bold>RESULTS:</bold><italic> </italic>The incidence of alveolitis was 0% in the intervention group and 13.3% in the control group (<italic>p</italic> = 0.038). The intervention group demonstrated a significantly faster reduction in pain intensity from day 2 (<italic>p</italic><italic> </italic>&lt; 0.001) and in edema severity from day 3 (<italic>p</italic><italic> </italic>&lt; 0.001) compared with controls. By day 5, granulation tissue formation was observed in 73.3% of patients in the intervention group versus 26.7% in the control group (<italic>p</italic> &lt; 0.001). Analgesic consumption was 2.5-fold lower in the intervention group (<italic>p</italic> &lt; 0.001). No adverse events related to the physiotherapy procedures were recorded.</p> <p><bold>CONCLUSION:<italic> </italic></bold>The application of this physiotherapy regimen following tooth extraction significantly reduces the risk of alveolitis, alleviates pain and edema, accelerates reparative processes, and decreases medication burden, supporting its clinical efficacy and safety. Trial limitations include the modest sample size and its single-center design.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p><bold>Обоснование.</bold> Несмотря на широкую распространённость удаления зубов в амбулаторной практике, существующие подходы к послеоперационному ведению пациентов не всегда позволяют предотвратить развитие альвеолита и выраженных воспалительных явлений. Данные о клинической эффективности сочетанного применения низкоинтенсивной лазерной терапии и магнитотерапии в раннем послеоперационном периоде ограничены и представлены единичными исследованиями с невысоким уровнем доказательности.</p> <p><bold>Цель.</bold> Оценить эффективность комплекса физиотерапии, включающего последовательное применение низкоинтенсивной лазерной терапии и низкочастотной магнитотерапии, у взрослых пациентов после планового удаления зубов по сравнению со стандартной медикаментозной терапией.</p> <p><bold>Методы.</bold><bold> </bold>Проведено открытое рандомизированное контролируемое исследование с участием 60 пациентов в возрасте 18–55 лет, которым выполнялось плановое удаление зубов. Пациентов распределили на две равные группы: основная (стандартная терапия в сочетании с курсом из трёх процедур низкоинтенсивной лазерной терапии и низкочастотной магнитотерапии) и контрольная (только стандартная терапия). Оценка исходов включала частоту альвеолита (первичный исход), интенсивность болевого синдрома по визуальной аналоговой шкале, выраженность отёка, измеряемую методом линейной антропометрии, динамику местных репаративных процессов, потребность в анальгетиках и регистрацию нежелательных явлений. Наблюдение осуществляли в течение 7 дней после операции.</p> <p><bold>Результаты.</bold><bold> </bold>Частота альвеолита в основной группе составила 0%, в контрольной — 13,3% (<italic>p</italic>=0,038). В основной группе зафиксировано статистически значимо более быстрое снижение интенсивности боли со 2-х суток (<italic>p</italic> &lt; 0,001) и выраженности отёка с 3-х суток (<italic>p</italic> &lt; 0,001) по сравнению с контролем. Формирование грануляционной ткани к 5-м суткам отмечено у 73,3% пациентов в основной группе против 26,7% в контрольной (<italic>p</italic> &lt; 0,001). Потребность в анальгетиках в основной группе была в 2,5 раза ниже (<italic>p</italic> &lt; 0,001). Нежелательных явлений, связанных с физиотерапией, не зарегистрировано.</p> <p><bold>Заключение.</bold> Применение комплекса физиотерапии после удаления зубов способствует значимому снижению риска альвеолита, уменьшению выраженности болевого синдрома и отёка, ускорению репаративных процессов и сокращению лекарственной нагрузки, что подтверждает его клиническую эффективность и безопасность. Ограничения исследования связаны с небольшим размером выборки и проведением в одном центре.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>alveolitis</kwd><kwd>tooth extraction</kwd><kwd>low-level laser therapy</kwd><kwd>magnetic field therapy</kwd><kwd>physical therapy modalities</kwd><kwd>postoperative pain</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>альвеолит</kwd><kwd>удаление зуба</kwd><kwd>низкоинтенсивная лазерная терапия</kwd><kwd>магнитотерапия</kwd><kwd>физиотерапия</kwd><kwd>послеоперационная боль</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Blum IR.
