The effect of post-extraction socket preservation laser treatment on bone density 4 months after extraction: Randomized controlled trial.

Background: Post-extraction bone resorption may affect the outcome of ensuing restorations.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate a comprehensive laser post-extraction protocol by comparing resulting alveolar bone regeneration with that obtained after standard extraction procedure.

Materials And Methods: About 53 simple extractions were randomized to either laser or control group.
