Low intensity pulsed ultrasound versus low-level laser therapy on peri-implant marginal bone preservation and soft tissue healing following dental implant surgery: a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) and low-level laser therapy (LLLT) are proposed adjunctive therapies to enhance healing after dental implant surgery. However, direct comparisons of their effects on peri-implant marginal bone preservation and soft tissue healing remain limited. This randomized controlled trial aimed to compare the effectiveness of LIPUS and LLLT on peri-implant marginal bone preservation, soft tissue healing, pain levels, and oral health-related quality of life following dental implant placement.

Methods

This single-blind, randomized controlled trial included 63 patients undergoing maxillary or mandibular implant placement, randomly allocated to LIPUS (n = 21), LLLT (n = 21), or control (n = 21) groups. LIPUS was applied twice weekly for 4
