A preliminary randomized clinical trial comparing diode laser and scalpel periosteal incision during implant surgery: Impact on postoperative morbidity and implant survival
Lasers in Medical Science Jan 11, 2018
Shahnaz A, et al. - Researchers compared the post-operative morbidity after application of laser or scalpel incision for flap advancement during implant surgery and bone grafting. Furthermore, they aimed to compare the implant survival rate following flap advancement with laser or scalpel incision after 6 months of loading. For performing periosteal releasing incision, application of laser reduced the incidence and severity of postoperative morbidity among the patients who underwent implant surgery in conjunction with bone augmentation procedure. No detrimental effect of laser incision was found on the implant survival within 6 months of loading.
