Summary

The main aim of this study was to evaluate clinically the effect of laser photocoagulation in comparison to the non-resorbable dense polytetrafluroethylene (dPTFE) membrane on the soft tissue healing during socket preservation with bovine bone xenograft.

Detailed description

The study was designed as randomized, controlled, clinical trial. patients who were undergoing tooth extraction and socket preservation were divided into two groups: Group I:980 nm Diode laser was used to seal the socket by photocoagulation .Group II : a non-resorbable dPTFE was used to seal the socket and stabilized by suturing to the soft tissue margins of the socket All patients were clinically and radiographically evaluated at the baseline and on the second , third and fourth weeks postoperatively.Then recalled after 4 months for the final radiographic examination.

Conditions

• Soft Tissue Healing

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Socket sealing by diode laser photocoagulation	tooth extraction followed by socket grafting with bovine bone xenograft and finally sealed using 980 nm diode laser photocoagulation applied in a non-contact mode with a poer output of 1 watt in a continuous wave mode for 3-5 minutes
PROCEDURE	socket sealing with dense polytetrafluroethylene membrane	tooth extraction followed by socket grafting with bovine bone xenograft and finally sealed by a non-resorbable dPTFE membrane that is stabilized by suturing to the soft tissue margins of the socket
