INTRODUCTION: Dental implantology is developing rapidly. Surgical procedures related to this type of therapy require a long recovery period. The application of regeneration-stimulating procedures would reduce this period. AIm: The aim of this study is to present the results of modern research on the stimulating effect of Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) on bone recovery and on the treatment of soft tissues. mATERIAL: An extensive analysis is made of the results in 28 literature sources on the interaction between LLLT and implant osseointegration and the quality of the surrounding soft tissues. CONCLUSION: Laser irradiation has a broad impact spectrum on tissues and a single overexposure or lower level exposure may change significantly clinical results. Adopting the appropriate method of stimulation is of major importance.
