Application of Laser-Induced Bone Therapy by Carbon Dioxide Laser Irradiation in Implant Therapy
This study evaluated the application of laser-induced bone therapy (LIBT) to reduce implant healing time in rat tibia. Twenty 10-week-old female Sprague-Dawlay rats were used. The rats received laser irradiation (laser group) or sham operation (control group) on either side of the tibia. Five days a...
