Summary

The goal of this split-mouth randomized clinical trial study was to investigate the effect of using a laser on pain and discomfort following flapless dental implant surgery. It was hypothesized that laser did not have any impact on post-op pain. Therefore, the study aimed to compare pain and discomfort following flapless dental implant surgeries with or without a laser.

Conditions

• Jaw, Edentulous, Partially

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Laser-induced Incision	On the treatment side, an incision was made on the crest of the alveolar soft tissue using the laser.
PROCEDURE	Punch Incision	On the control side, a punch incision was made on the crest of the alveolar soft tissue using using a punch.
PROCEDURE	Implant Placement	Implant placement was done in both laser and punch arms. The drilling was performed based on the company (Straumman) protocol. On each side, a dental implant (Straumman SP, Basel, Switzerland) and healing abutment were placed. Patients were visited at 24, 48, 72 hours, and 7 days after insertion.
