EFFECT OF LOW-LEVEL LASER THERAPY ON STABILITY OF DENTAL IMPLANTS PLACED IN A FRESH EXTRACTED SOCKET

Immediate implant placement with applying a collaplug material in the jumping gap followed by low level laser application using Siro laser (660 nm, avg. power density: 0.5-WATT) circular spot diameter and area: 0.71 cm/0.4cm2) applied in six points in contact mode with peri-implant soft tissue (1.23 minutes in each point of application; dose per point 11 J) before bone perforation and after suturing.

Implant of suitable diameter and height was placed in the fresh extracted socket immediately after extraction and the jumping gap was augmented by the collaplug followed by healing abutment placement.
