Summary

This randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial aimed to evaluate the effect of laser-assisted therapy on soft tissue healing at the pontic site prior to fixed partial denture rehabilitation. Clinical healing outcomes, postoperative pain levels, and gingival crevicular fluid transforming growth factor beta-2 (TGF-β2) levels were assessed to determine the biological and clinical effects of laser therapy compared with placebo.
