Abstract
This study was designed to determine the effect of photobiomodulation therapy on dental implant stability. A complete systematic search was performed in PUBMED/MEDLINE, COCHRANE library databases, EMBASE, SCOPUS, and Google Scholar databases on articles published until June 2024. All the RCTs and CCTs reported the solo impact of photobiomodulation on dental implant stability in humans were included. The means and standard deviation for implant stability and sample size were extracted for the meta-analysis. The statistical analysis was conducted using Stata 17 software, and random effect models were applied to assess the source of heterogeneity. The I2 statistic was used to estimate the significance of any discrepancies in the therapy result. After a full-text inspection, 17 articles were qualified for systematic review, and 14 were included in the meta-analysis. Statically significant differences in implant stability were observed between the laser and the control groups on weeks 2 in ISQ reporting groups (p = 0.01, CI 95%) and weeks 4 and 8 in PTV reporting groups (p < 0.001, CI 95%). Despite limitations, the study suggests that PBM therapy benefits patients with dental implants at different periods, particularly during the early phases of healing.
