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.

| Collaplug with low level laser | Other | Immediate implant placement with applying a collaplug material in the jumping gap followed by low level laser application using Siro laser (660 nm, avg. power density: 0.5-WATT) circular spot diameter and area: 0.71 cm/0.4cm2) applied in six points in contact mode with peri-implant soft tissue (1.23 minutes in each point of application; dose per point 11 J) before bone perforation and after suturing. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Implant stability | 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. | up to 3 months |
| Crestal bone loss | 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. | up to 3 months |
