Abstract: It is a form of alternative therapy that uses laser light at low levels. The light is used in the surface skin to reduce pain, swelling, wound healing and prevent the damage of tissues and nerves. The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of low-level laser therapy on stability of dental implants. A systematic review was conducted based on literature search in the databases PubMed, Wiley online library, Cochrane library, Elsevier science direct, Prospero, Scopus, Ovid Medicine, Grey literature using the search keywords ( low level laser) AND (stability) AND (dental implants). Randomised controlled trials investigating the effect of low-level laser therapy and further followed by Cochrane database bias assessment was done. Five randomised controlled trials were included and after discussed, the result of p value is not significant in low level laser therapy on stability of dental implants. There is a positive relationship between the use of low-level laser therapy in the wound healing process and has no positive effect on the stability of dental implants.
