Diode lasers beneficial for implant stage 2 recovery procedures, Finds study
Diode laser and erbium, chromium-doped yttrium, scandium, gallium, and garnet (Er, Cr:YSGG) laser systems, both show certain advantages. Less anesthesia, less surgical trauma and faster healing, and post-operative comfort, lasers on the whole are an effective tool for implant stage two recovery techniques. However, diode lasers are more cost effective when compared to Er, Cr:YSGG, diode lasers may meet the clinical needs when compared to hard-tissue lasers, reports a study published in the Journal of Indian Society of Periodontology.
Sahana Selvaganesh and colleagues from the Department of Implantology, Saveetha Dental College, Saveetha Institute of Medical and Technical Sciences, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India aimed to compare the clinical efficacy of diode laser and erbium, chromium-doped yttrium, scandium, gallium, and garnet (Er, Cr:YSGG) laser for implant stage 2 recovery procedure.
A total of 30 patients who had undergone dental implant placement were included in this study. The subjects were randomly allocated into three groups. Group 1 patients (n = 10) had implant recovery using diode laser, Group 2 (n = 10) implant recovery with Er, Cr:YSGG and conventional scalpel method (n = 10) was the third group.
