Using Diode Laser in 2nd Stage of Implant.

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Dental Implant Exposure Using Diode Laser
• Interventions: Device: diode laser 940nm

• Registration Number: NCT06213467
• Lead Sponsor: University of Baghdad

Brief Summary

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.

Detailed Description

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.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
A and B	diode laser 940nm	Each patient in which two implants have already been inserted are exposed, the first implant expose by using traditional methods , the second one expose by using diode laser 940nm .

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Pain perceived by the patient.	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 Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
need for injectable anesthesia	at time of operation treatment	need for anesthesia done when patient feels pain after application of local anesthesia
