Objective:To evaluate the effects of photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) at distinct energy levels on peri-implant bone healing in extra-short implants in a experimental rabbit model.Background:The effect of PBMT on peri-implant bone healing in short implants remains unclear. This explo-red the effect of PBMT on extra-short implants in terms of bone-implant contact (BIC) length and rate, andimplant stability quotient (ISQ).Methods:Fifteen white New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into five groups. In all groups, extra-shortimplants (3.5·4 mm; Nucleoss T6,_Izmir/Turkey) were placed in both ...Daha fazlası
