SOFT TISSUE CHANGES AND BONE LEVELS AROUND DENTAL IMPLANTS WITH LASER

Phase 2

Not yet recruiting

Brief Summary: The procedure will be performed under local anesthesia using 2% lignocaine containing adrenaline 1:80,000.

Implants will be placed by following surgical procedure in both the groups.

After adequate local anesthesia, a mid-crestal incision is given in both the cases. A mucoperiosteal flap is elevated and bone will be exposed.

Selected size of implants (3.5mm and 10mm) will be placed in group I and group II sites.

The implant site will be prepared with standard drills. The osteotomy site is prepared with sequence of drills to the size of implant.

Sites in group I will be treated with Low Level Laser and group II sites will not be treated with Low Level Laser.

Flaps will be approximated and sutured. Instructions regarding oral hygiene maintenance and soft diet plan will be provided. Patient will be discharged after prescribing analgesics and antibiotic. Patient is recalled after 1 week for suture removal. Crown placement will be done after 3 months.clinical parameters like thickness of keratinized tissue, modified gingival index, modified plaque index, width of the keratinized tissue and crestal bone level (by IOPA radiographs) will be assessed at baseline, 3 months and 6 months.
