Laser Photobiomodulation After Dental Implant Surgery: A Comparison of 650 nm and 810 nm Diode Lasers

A 650 nm red diode laser applied at three points (buccal, palatal, and crestal) around the implant site using 100 mW power for 60 seconds per point (total dose 18 J). Applied immediately post-op and repeated within 48 hours. Used for photobiomodulation to reduce pain and improve healing.

A 810 nm red diode laser applied at three points (buccal, palatal, and crestal) around the implant site using 100 mW power for 60 seconds per point (total dose 18 J). Applied immediately post-op and repeated within 48 hours. Used for photobiomodulation to reduce pain and improve healing.

Identical laser handpiece applied at the same locations and durations as the active PBM groups, but without laser emission. Used to maintain blinding and simulate treatment without therapeutic effect.
