Successful dental implant treatment depends on achieving strong and stable osseointegration. This randomized controlled clinical study evaluated the effect of Er:YAG laser biomodification using the LiteTouch™ Er:YAG laser (2,940 nm) following conventional implant osteotomy preparation.

The study included 90 patients receiving dental implants. Patients treated with rotary osteotomy followed by LiteTouch™ Er:YAG laser biomodification demonstrated significantly higher implant stability compared with conventional rotary preparation alone.

The result: Er:YAG laser biomodification resulted in higher ISQ values at all measured time points and significantly reduced the stability dip during the critical early healing period (days 20–30). A higher percentage of implants maintained high stability levels (ISQ ≥ 70) compared with the control group.

The conclusion: LiteTouch™ Er:YAG laser biomodification may enhance early osseointegration, promote more stable implant healing, and potentially support shorter healing periods and earlier implant loading in selected clinical cases.
