Abstract :
It is a form of alternative therapy that uses
laser light at low levels. The light is used in the surface
skin to reduce pain, swelling, wound healing and prevent
the damage of tissues and nerves. The aim of this study is
to determine the effectiveness of low-level laser therapy
on stability of dental implants. A systematic review was
conducted based on literature search in the databases
PubMed, Wiley online library, Cochrane library, Elsevier
science direct, Prospero, Scopus, Ovid Medicine, Grey
literature using the search keywords ( low level laser)
AND (stability) AND (dental implants). Randomised
controlled trials investigating the effect of low-level laser
therapy and further followed by Cochrane database bias
assessment was done. Five randomised controlled trials
were included and after discussed, the result of p value is
not significant in low level laser therapy on stability of
dental implants. There is a positive relationship between
the use of low-level laser therapy in the wound healing
process and has no positive effect on the stability of dental
implants.
