Efficacy of Diode Laser in Peri-implantitis

The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of a diode laser (DL) as an adjunct to conventional scaling in the treatment of mild-to-moderate peri-implantitis. A prospective clinical, radiographic and microbiologic split-mouth study was conducted to test the following null hypothesis; adjunct application of a diode laser, in the conventional treatment of peri-implantitis, are not associated with a statistically significant difference regarding the microbial counts, marginal bone loss and peri-implant parameters.

About this study

Efficacy of a diode laser (DL) in peri-implantitis was investigated. 48 implants diagnosed with peri-implantitis were included. In addition to the conventional scaling and debridement, random 24 implants were lased by a DL. Periodontal indexes, microbiologic specimens and radiographs were used for assessment. Baseline parameters were similar between groups. After six months laser group revealed higher MBL than the control group. Microbiota of the implants were found unchanged after one month. DL appears to have no additional positive influence on the peri-implantitis treatment.

Inclusion criteria

  • 18 years and older
  • No local and systemic health problems prohibit the study interventions
  • Bi-lateral implants with peri-implantitis diagnosis

Exclusion criteria

  • Local and systemic health problems prohibiting the study interventions

Treatment and study plan

Conventional peri-implantitis treatment

Procedure

Elimination of the bacterial plaque. Establishing optimal healing conditions. Detoxification of the affected environment.

Other names: CIST treatment protocol

DL application in peri-implantitis

Device

Diode laser application in the diseased implants.

Primary outcomes

  1. Bacterial counts

    Time frame: One month

    Bacterial load around the the diseased implants will be determined at the initiation of the study. The assessment will be performed after one months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Marginal Bone loss

    Time frame: Six months

    The marginal bone loss around the diseased implants will be assessed after six months to analyse any bone level change.

Other outcomes

  1. Peri-implant health indexes

    Time frame: one and six months

    Bleeding on probing, probing depth and plaque index which determined at the initiation of the study will be re-evaluated after one and six months to asees the effect of the variables
