This study discussed the characteristics of photobiomodulation modalities using low-level laser and light-emitting diodes and their therapeutic effects on post-implant osseointegration, through an integrative literature review. The methodology consists of a guided search in Portuguese and English from 2001 to 2020 through texts in Google Scholar, PubMed and Scielo databases. Results: The technique of osseointegrated implants within implantology has made great advances possible by favoring the restoration of dental function and aesthetics in total and partial edentulous individuals. This type of implant is successful when the phenomenon of osseointegration occurs, a complex process that depends on several local and systemic circumstances for stability and durability of the implant. In this sense, the use of photobiomodulation in Implant Dentistry can promote speed in the osseointegration process and, consequently, establish better conditions in the postoperative period. Final Considerations: Although several authors present satisfactory results in both photobiomodulation modalities, mainly acceleration of the initial phases of osseointegration, more research in this area should be carried out so that this relationship is better clarified. |
