    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 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.

    What could be the possible cause for reduction in mouth opening after an extraction besides hematoma?

    The fibrous tissue in the scar may prevent mouth opening..

    Other than haemtoma the possible cause for reduction in mouth opening is piercing needle in pterigomandibular raphe during anesthetic block(pterigomandibular block).

    Trismus is also a very common cause, which happens mainly due to needle injury to muscle fibres..
