The aim of this study is to evaluate the analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects of photobiomodulation in participants undergoing dental implant placement. A randomized clinical trial was conducted with 62 participants requiring dental implant placement, divided into two groups of 31 each. Immediately after implant placement, one group received diode laser photobiomodulation, while the SHAM group received sham treatment. Pain and inflammation were assessed at 24 h, 48 h, and 7 days. In addition, Modified Dental Anxiety (MDA) levels were measured and the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) questionnaire was used to assess oral health-related quality of life.
