Objective:
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of diode laser-assisted socket preservation with "hood" closure for dental implantation in advanced periodontitis.
Methods:
A 31-year-old female with Stage III Grade C periodontitis underwent minimally invasive extraction of Tooth #46, followed by combined laser therapy and flap closure for socket preservation.
Results:
At 2-year follow-up, the results demonstrated: (1) complete resolution of inflammation (BOP 0%); (2) Elimination of pathological pockets (PD ≥ 4 mm 0%); and (3) successful implant placement with stable bone volume.
Conclusion:
This technique ensures optimal wound healing and ridge preservation, enhancing implant outcomes in compromised sites.
