The Effect of Diode Laser Photocoagulation on the Soft Tissue Healing During Socket Preservation in the Esthetic Zone.
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Socket sealing by diode laser photocoagulation and socket sealing with dense polytetrafluroethylene membrane for Soft Tissue Healing. Completed, enrolled 36 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The main aim of this study was to evaluate clinically the effect of laser photocoagulation in comparison to the non-resorbable dense polytetrafluroethylene (dPTFE) membrane on the soft tissue healing during socket preservation with bovine bone xenograft.
