Completed

• Conditions: Dental Implant Stability
• Interventions: Other: Collaplug with low level laser; Other: Collaplug

• Registration Number: NCT06148064
• Lead Sponsor: Nourhan M.Aly

Brief Summary

Aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) (660nm laser diode 0.5W) on implant stability and crestal bone loss in implants inserted in freshly extracted sockets augmented by Collaplug in the jumping gap.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Crestal bone loss	up to 3 months	Crestal bone loss was assessed using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) by measuring the distance from the bone crest to the implant apex from mesial, distal, lingual and buccal aspects intraoperatively. Crestal bone loss up to 1.5 mm is considered a normal early finding through the first year after implant placement.
Implant stability	up to 3 months	Implant stability was measured by OSSTELL at 4 different levels (buccal, lingual, mesial, and distal). Implant Stability Quotient, is a scale from 1 to 100 and is a measure of the stability of an implant. Higher levels indicate greater stability.
