Laser boost for dental implants? small study shows promise
NCT ID NCT07534826
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 16 adults with soft jawbone (type IV bone) who needed a dental implant in their upper back teeth. Half got implants placed using a special drilling technique (Densah burs) alone, and the other half got the same technique plus a low-level laser treatment. The goal was to see if the laser helped the implant stay more stable and heal better. Results were measured right after placement and again after 6 months.
