Abstract

The supporting bone structure must be maintained for dental implants to last a long time. Therefore, it is of interest to identify whether post-operative low-level laser therapy (LLLT) of the implant site had any effect on pain alleviation and crestal bone loss surrounding dental implants. Ten individuals in this research who had bilateral tooth loss in the mandibular posterior area received twenty implants, along with LLLT on the test side. Level of crestal bone was assessed radiographically at three and six months and visual analogue scale (VAS) scoring was used to characterise post-operative pain from the start to 6 days. LLLT surrounding the dental implants appreciably decreased post-operative discomfort and loss of crestal bone.
