Abstract

Osseointegration and primary stability are essential factors for the success of dental implants, directly influencing their longevity and functionality. The aim of this study was to investigate, discuss, and analyze the effectiveness of low-level laser characteristics and their effects on primary implant stability and osseointegration in post-dental implant regions. The study was characterized as a descriptive bibliographic research, based on data collection in the Scielo Brasil, PubMed, and scholar.google.com.br databases, between 2017 and 2023, obeying the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Based on the discussion, the effectiveness of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on osseointegration and primary stability of dental implants was verified. It was demonstrated that the use of LLLT has a positive impact on osseointegration and primary stability of dental implants, but more studies should be carried out and a protocol should be implemented for implantology.
