Photobiomodulation in Dental Implant Stability and Post-Surgical Healing
The primary objective of this randomized clinical trial was to assess the effects of diode laser photobiomodulation (PBM) on post-surgical healing, inflammation, and implant stability in patients undergoing dental implant procedures. Photobiomodulation has been suggested as a potential therapeutic tool due to its non-invasive nature and ability to modulate biological processes at the cellular level. […]
