Using Diode Laser in 2nd Stage of Implant.
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.

About this study
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.

Healthy volunteers accepted: No
Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.
Inclusion criteria
- 1. Describe the target population and the criteria for their inclusion. Patients indicated for fixed implant treatment with conventional Implant procedure with implant insertd before (3-6) months by using two stage dental implant.
- Treatment with two or more implant in same patient. 3. Patients aged from 18 to 70 years of both the gender with the presence of adequate osseointegration and healthy keratinized tissue surrounding the implant site.
Exclusion criteria
- 1. Patient have single implant. 2. Expose dental implant or already have gingival former. 3. Poor oral hygiene. 4. Failure implant osseointegration to bone.
Treatment and study plan
diode laser 940nm
DeviceExposure 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
Primary outcomes
-
Pain perceived by the patient.
Time frame: recordings were done immediately at time of exposure , after 2 , 5 ,7 days postsurgical.
Pain was measured using visual analogue scale from 0-10, filled by the patient
Secondary outcomes
-
need for injectable anesthesia
Time frame: at time of operation treatment
need for anesthesia done when patient feels pain after application of local anesthesia
