Conditions
Brief summary
The aim of this study is to determine whether low level laser therapy can decrease the time between extraction/socket graft and implant placement, by evaluating histological changes in sockets grafted with bone graft material and covered with resorbable collagen dressing
Interventions
Autostatic laser device which patient self-administers at home, pointing at site of grafted socket, starting in day 14 after surgery Low level laser therapy on the site of grafted sockets; 810nm, 20mW/square cm, 20 min per day, 21 consecutive days Laser device composed of a comfortable flexible headset, lightweight, low profile, with a soft nose and earpice for individual comfort profile and array positioning to fit range of patients; and a handsfree operation controller. On this controller the doctor sets treatment protocol and the controller counts down time and treatment sessions for patients awareness
