Using a diode laser to uncover dental implants in second-stage surgery

Sam Yeh et al. Gen Dent. 2005 Nov-Dec.

Abstract

A soft tissue diode laser offers an alternative technique for uncovering dental implants. This article presents two cases in which four dental implants were uncovered using a soft tissue laser. This technique provides an efficient and patient-friendly method to perform second-stage implant surgery, safely allowing a faster rehabilitative phase.
