Histomorphological analysis of bone sample with Hematoxylin-Eosin staining (For mandibular extraction sockets, more NB (18.75 ± 5.18) and less RM (36.86 ± 3.77) was observed when Er:YAG laser was involved. However, no significant difference was found for either of these parameters between groups (p > 0.05). For maxillary sockets, the results of NB and RM between the two groups were very close in terms of values except for NMCT. (Table

When performing the analysis regardless of the location, the percentage of NB was greater when Er:YAG laser degranulation was used. As shown in Table
