Dental Implant Exposure Using Diode Laser
Conditions
Keywords
diode laser, dental implant, local anasthesia
Brief summary
Dental Implants that are teeth replacements usually place with two stages. In the second stage the implant fixture, (which is the body that inserted in the bone is exposed to place the artificial tooth), is exposed using surgical blade, however; an alternative method using diode laser may be used. This study aimed to compare the two methods in relation to pain anticipated by the patients and the need for local anesthesia usage.
Detailed description
Second-stage implant exposure involves removing soft tissue above the dental implant, as a part of the implant procedures to replace the missing teeth which can be done either by using diode laser or traditional method This study included fifteen patients, aged between 18 and 70 years old. Implant exposure was performed on 15 patients has at least two implants in two groups: group 1 with a diode laser at 940nm and group 2 with the traditional method performed either using a puncture, flap, or incision in 5 private clinics and one governmental run hospital in city of Baghdad/ Iraq.
Interventions
DEVICEdiode laser 940nm
Exposure for the two implants was done at the same visit, with one implant being exposed using diode laser and the other implant using traditional method
