Applying automated laser ablation procedures with pulsed, electronically administered diode laser equipment, and large-area masking results in highly aligned, uniform microstructures on these surfaces.
Clinical evaluation of role of laser in soft tissue surgical guide for implant placement.
This study included 30 patients with dental implants in their oral cavity. These patients were divided into two categories. Category 1: Control where laser was not used for soft tissue guide. Category 2: Laser group where laser was used for soft tissue guide. There was the evaluation of bleeding index, plaque index, probing depth, and crestal bone loss in each patient at 3-month follow-up, 6-month follow-up, and 12-month follow-up by the same clinician.
There was decline in values of bleeding index, plaque index, and probing depth in both control group and laser group at 3-month follow-up, 6-month follow-up, and 12-month follow-up. However, the decline in values was more pronounced in laser group. There was more increase in crestal bone loss as time progressed in control group while the increase in crestal bone loss in laser group was minimal as time progressed.
Laser can be applied successfully in soft tissue surgical guide for implant placement as it gives better results regarding soft tissue health and crestal bone loss.

评估激光在种植体植入软组织手术导板中的作用。
本研究纳入30例口腔内有牙种植体的患者。这些患者分为两类。第1类：未使用激光进行软组织导板制作的对照组。第2类：使用激光进行软组织导板制作的激光组。由同一位临床医生在3个月随访、6个月随访和12个月随访时对每位患者的出血指数、菌斑指数、探诊深度和牙槽嵴骨吸收情况进行评估。
在3个月随访、6个月随访和12个月随访时，对照组和激光组的出血指数、菌斑指数和探诊深度值均下降。然而，激光组的值下降更为明显。随着时间的推移，对照组的牙槽嵴骨吸收增加更多，而激光组的牙槽嵴骨吸收增加最小。
激光可成功应用于种植体植入的软组织手术导板，因为它在软组织健康和牙槽嵴骨吸收方面能取得更好的效果。
