Low-level laser therapy on soft tissue healing after implantation: a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To explore the effect of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on the healing of soft tissue around the implant after flap implantation and explore the possible mechanism.

Methods

A total of 58 patients who underwent implant surgery were enrolled, with a total of 70 implants. They were randomly divided into the LLLT group and the control group. The LLLT group underwent LLLT with Nd:YAG (Fotona, 1064 nm) immediately after surgery and on the 2nd and 3rd day in the surgical area, while the control group did not receive any intervention. Pain assessment was performed in the first 3 days after surgery. The weight of peri-implant crevicular fluid (PICF), modified sulcus bleeding index (mSBI), gingival index (GI), and the expression levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), an
