Keywords
Diode Laser, Erbium Laser, Second-stage Implant Surgery
Brief summary
The study evaluates postoperative pain, intraoperative bleeding and wound healing after second stage implant surgery. Submerged implants were exposed with diode laser in Group 1 (n=20) and by using Er,Cr:YSGG laser in Group 2 (n=20).
Interventions
Exposure of the cover screw of osseointegrated dental implants embedded under oral mucosa by performing the soft tissue incision with diode laser for placing the healing abutment.
Exposure of the cover screw of osseointegrated dental implants embedded under oral mucosa by performing the soft tissue incision with erbium laser for placing the healing abutment.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Postoperative pain on 1st day | 1st Day | Patients score pain intensity with numeric scale ranging between 0(no pain) to 10(most severe pain) on the postoperative 1st day. Pain scores on the postoperative 1st day in each group are compared. |
| Postoperative pain on 2nd day | 2nd Day | Patients score pain intensity with numeric scale ranging between 0(no pain) to 10(most severe pain) on the postoperative 2nd day. Pain scores on the postoperative 2nd day in each group are compared. |
| Postoperative pain on 3rd day | 3rd Day | Patients score pain intensity with numeric scale ranging between 0(no pain) to 10(most severe pain) on the postoperative 3rd day. Pain scores on the postoperative 3rd day in each group are compared. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Number of analgesics used daily | 3 days | Analgesic consumption per day on postoperative 1st, 2nd and 3rd days. |
| Intraoperative bleeding | During operation | Bleeding during surgical procedure was scored by the physician as 1=minimal, 2=normal and 3=excessive bleeding |
