Abstract | ||||
Objectives The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of diode LASER biomodulation on crestal bone loss around dental implants in implant assisted partial denture. Materials and Methods: 16 maxillary Kennedy class I Patients were selected, with opposing arch fully dentate and with minimum bone width and height 6 mm and 12mm respectively, divided randomly into two groups; Group I: patient rehabilitated with maxillary implant assisted partial denture with two implants placed at first molar region bilaterally with osseo-densification technique. Group II: Patients received the same treatment as group one followed by diode LASER 940 nm bio-modulation for osteotomy from the buccal and palatal side in contact with the mucosa for 40s. LASER application will be repeated at 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 days postoperatively. Results There was a statistically significant difference in peri-implant bone loss between the two groups at the end of the follow-up period. There was no statistically significant difference in bone loss between the two studied groups (p ≤ 0.05) at 6 and 9 months follow up period. Conclusion Diode laser bio-modulation for implant osteotomy resulted in decreased crestal bone loss around dental implants and improved the healing process. | ||||
