Abstract
Introduction: Dental implants are widely used and have a success rate of around 96%. Good bone density is an essential factor for implant stability to resist mechanical forces against dental implants. As a treatment, low-level laser treatment (LLLT) is a type of phototherapy where infrared is absorbed by adjacent tissues, thus reducing the inflammatory response, stimulating osteoblastic activity around the application site, and increasing bone production. Objective: It was to carry out a concise systematic review of the main clinical findings of the use of laser therapy to improve dental implant practices through the optimization of osseointegration. Methods: The PRISMA Platform systematic review rules were followed. The search was carried out from November 2024 to January 2025 in the Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, Scielo, and Google Scholar databases. The quality of the studies was based on the GRADE instrument and the risk of bias was analyzed according to the Cochrane instrument. Results and Conclusion: A total of 155 articles were found, and 23 articles were evaluated in full and 13 were included and developed in the present systematic review study. Considering the Cochrane tool for risk of bias, the overall assessment resulted in 26 studies with a high risk of bias and 42 studies that did not meet GRADE and AMSTAR-2. According to the GRADE instrument, most studies presented homogeneity in their results, with X2=82.7%>50%. It was concluded that low-intensity laser irradiation can significantly promote bone consolidation and accelerate the osseointegration process, emphasizing the biostimulating effect of the laser. The application of the 808 nm infrared laser for bone tissue and 630 nm for mucosal tissue in two sessions is considered an effective way to reduce inflammation and improve early healing. Literary findings point to the safety and effectiveness of low-power intravascular lasers in dental implant treatments. The low-power intravascular laser enables local and systemic treatment, optimizing the benefits of its use by dentists, mainly to improve the stabilization of osseointegrated implants and avoid or eliminate contamination.
