Laser Decontamination and LED Photobiomodulation Promote Bone Regeneration and Wound Healing by Secondary Intention, in Alveolar Ridge Preservation-Clinical and Radiographic Evaluation: A Pilot Experience.

Tooth loss reduces crestal bone with important resorption of alveolar dimensions, reducing the possibility of placing implants after wounds healing. The goal of this pilot experience was to consider, in alveolar ridge preservation, the regenerative and decontaminating potential of oxygen high-level laser therapy (OHLLT), a high-frequency and high-power diode laser combined with hydrogen peroxide 10 volumes 3%, and to evaluate wound closure during the 14-21 days after surgery. For this study we selected 15 patients (age range from 30 to 70 years old) who underwent alveolar ridge preservation (three patients were treated in the anterior maxilla, 12 in the mandibular jaw, with molars and premolars involved).

Clinical Evaluation of Diode (980 nm) Laser-Assisted Nonsurgical Periodontal Pocket Therapy: A Randomized Comparative Clinical Trial and Bacteriological Study.

Mechanical debridement is the gold standard in the periodontitis therapy. However, it is suggested that adjunctive use of lasers can result in a more effective treatment outcome. Evaluate the efficiency of diode laser-assisted nonsurgical therapy of periodontitis as adjunctive to scaling and root planing (SRP).

Clinical, Radiographic and Microbiological Evaluation of High Level Laser Therapy, a New Photodynamic Therapy Protocol, in Peri-Implantitis Treatment; a Pilot Experience.

Aim. Endosseous implants are widely used to replace missing teeth but mucositis and peri-implantitis are the most frequent long-term complications related with dental implants. Removing all bacterial deposits on contaminated implant surface is very difficult due to implant surface morphology.
