Abstract
A Clinical Study of the Effect of Low-Level Laser Treatment on the Clinical Stability of Immediately Loaded Implants in Posterior Maxilla
Highlights
Photo biomodulation is a non-invasive treatment that bio-stimulates the new-formed bone on the cellular level in order to improve the quality of bone around implants
Objectives:This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of Low-Level Laser on clinical stability of the immediately loaded implants
Materials & Methods: 24 Megagen Implants were used in 12 patients in the split-mouth technique. 808 nm GaAlAs Laser with 4 J power per point was used for two weeks with an application every other day
Summary
Dental implants have high success rates in rehabilitating edentulous patients if certain conditions are taken into consideration during treatment. The healing period for implants varies according to the recommendations of 3-4 months. This duration increases in the maxillary and the posterior region of the mandibular due to the increase of spongy bone and it can reach 5-6 months. Immediate loading of implants became a necessity in order to reduce the period of osseointegration. Objectives:This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of Low-Level Laser on clinical stability of the immediately loaded implants. Clinical stability was measured by Mega-ISQ and the measurements were held in the same operating day, one week after implantation and 3 months after implantation. Conclusions: Within the limitations of this study, using LLLt can improve the bone quality around implants but with no signifiable differences
