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 explored the effect of PBMT on extra-short implants in terms of bone-implant contact (BIC) length and rate, and implant stability quotient (ISQ).Methods: Fifteen white New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into five groups. In all groups, extra-short implants (3.5 x 4 mm; Nucleoss T6, Izmir/Turkey) were placed in ...Daha fazlası
