Comparing immediate dental implants with and without laser treatment after tooth extraction
Comparative Study of Immediate Single Unit Helix GM - Neodent Implants in Early Loading Protocols, With or Without Acqua Surface and With or Without Low Level Laser Photobiomodulation (LLLT). Single-blind Randomized Clinical Trial.
This study is testing if using laser treatment with immediate dental implants after tooth extraction helps patients heal better and keeps their bone healthy compared to not using lasers.

What this trial studies
This study evaluates the effectiveness of immediate single dental implants placed in fresh alveoli after tooth extraction, comparing protocols that utilize low-level laser photobiomodulation with those that do not. The goal is to assess implant stability and marginal bone loss in patients undergoing oral rehabilitation at the University of Santiago de Compostela. Participants will receive either Grand Morse Acqua or NeoPoros implants, with early loading protocols implemented to enhance recovery and aesthetic outcomes. The study aims to reduce surgical interventions and treatment time while maintaining bone architecture.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults requiring tooth extraction with sufficient bone height and space for implant placement, who are not immunosuppressed and smoke fewer than 5 cigarettes per day.
Not a fit: Patients who are immunosuppressed, smoke more than 5 cigarettes per day, or are completely edentulous may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lead to improved outcomes in dental implant procedures, reducing recovery time and enhancing aesthetic results for patients.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promising results with immediate dental implants and photobiomodulation, suggesting potential for success in this approach.
