The application of diode laser (940 nm) with 2 W and 3 W powers significantly altered the hydrophilicity, the surface topography, and the chemical composition of titanium discs. Diode laser (940 nm) with 1 W power can be safely used on SLA titanium implant surfaces with no damaging effect on the surface topography or hydrophilicity.
