Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.

This study is exploring different methods to improve healing of the gum and bone around dental implants. The focus is on comparing traditional surgical techniques with newer tools like a diode laser and an electrosurgical device. The participants are individuals who already have dental implants and are ready for the next phase of their implant surgery. The goal is to see which method leads to better healing of the surrounding soft and hard tissues, as this can significantly affect the success and comfort of dental implants in the long term. Participants in this study are divided into three groups. One group will have their implant exposed using the traditional surgical method, while the second group will use a diode laser, and the third group will use an electrosurgical device. The healing progress of the gum tissue is assessed immediately after the procedure, and then again at two weeks and four weeks using a specific healing index. Additionally, the amount of bone loss around the implant is measured using x-rays taken at the start and one month later. This study will help identify the most effective technique for minimizing tissue damage and promoting quicker recovery in dental implant procedures.
