Abstract
It is evident that promoting the wound healing of tissue around dental implant increase success rate of dental implant procedure. In this study, to evaluate the effect of laser on wound healing of gingiva and mandibular bone, in vivo and in vitro studies were done. In vivo studies showed that laser promotes the turnover rate of collagen, hone resorption and sequentially bone formation, during the healing stage. In vitro, laser stimulates DNA and protein synthesis and expression of ALP activity. These results suggest that the low power laser irradiation exerts beneficial effects on wound healing of gingiva and bone.
