Patients in this group will be given the LED device and will be instructed on how and when to use it. They will receive LED treatment to the surgical site preoperatively by the surgeon for 20 minutes. Then, patients in this group will apply LED at home to the surgical site postoperatively at the day of surgery and for the following 9 postoperative days.
These patients will receive conventional dental implant treatment without the application of the LED therapy.
