Description
Shanshan Ma and co-authors share a 2026 dental case report on saving a tooth socket with a diode laser plus a flap closure method called the hood technique. Their patient was a 31-year-old woman with Stage III, Grade C periodontitis. After a minimally invasive extraction of tooth 46, the socket received laser treatment and the flap closure before a later implant.
Two years on, inflammation had fully cleared, with bleeding on probing at 0 percent and no deep pockets remaining. An implant was placed into stable bone volume. The authors say pairing the laser with the hood closure gave reliable wound healing and kept the ridge shape in a compromised site. They offer the single case as support for the combined approach before implantation.
