简要总结
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether using a special light-activated treatment called photodynamic therapy, or more specifically, its modified version called oxygen high-level laser therapy, using a high-powered diode laser along with 3% hydrogen peroxide, can improve gum health around dental implants. It tests whether adding this to regular cleaning treatments could reduce harmful bacteria and support better healing. The aim is to determine whether a specific protocol is an effective way to treat infections around dental implants.
Participants in the study will receive two types of treatment on different dental implants:
- One implant will be treated with the oxygen high-level laser therapy using diode laser and hydrogen peroxide after mechanical cleaning.
- The other implant will receive diode laser therapy without hydrogen peroxide after mechanical cleaning.
Researchers will compare how the gums respond to each treatment, looking at signs such as inflammation, and determine whether the number of harmful bacteria has been reduced at three time points.
详细描述
Participants attending with at least two non-adjacent dental implants diagnosed with peri-implant disease (peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis) will be enrolled in the study. All patients included will be examined, and periodontal chartings will be obtained using a PCPUNC 15 probe. After routine phase one therapy (mechanical debridement using carbon-coated curettes on dental implants and ultrasonic scaling on the rest of the dentition), implant pocket irrigation using normal saline will be performed in both groups. Following irrigation using normal saline, implant pockets will be irrigated with 3% hydrogen peroxide, left in place for 2 minutes, and then irradiated with a 940nm diode laser (2.5W power, high frequency, 10 KHz, power average 0.5 W, fluency 25,000 J/cm2, 416.66 J/cm2 per second [Rey Protocol]) for 60 s per site in the test group. Control groups will receive mechanical debridement and diode laser treatment alone without the use of hydrogen peroxide.
Baseline clinical parameters will be measured at the initial visit and compared to post-treatment results at 6 weeks and 3 months. The clinical parameters to be evaluated include probing pocket depth, gingival index, plaque index, bleeding on probing, and suppuration.
In addition, microbiological parameters (bacterial count) using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) analysis will be determined from subgingival plaque samples using sterile paper points before and after treatment of both groups left in place for 30 seconds. Supragingival plaque is to be removed, and microbiological samples are to be taken before any measurements and/or non-surgical periodontal therapy (NSPT) from the deepest peri-implant pockets (sites are to be isolated with cotton rolls and gently air dried to avoid contamination with saliva). Immediately following treatment, a second swab will be taken from the implant surface using the same procedure discussed previously. Further samples will be collected at 6 week and 3-month follow-ups and processed.

结局指标
主要结局
Probing Pocket Depth
时间窗: From enrollment to the end of follow-ups at 3 months.
Probing pocket depth (PPD): The distance from the gum margin to the bottom of the pocket around a tooth or implant using a periodontal probe. Measurements were taken using PCPUNC 15 periodontal probe inserted parallel to the long axis of the implant until soft resistance was felt. Six sites per implant were recorded (mesiobuccal, mid-buccal, distobuccal, mesio-oral, mid-oral, disto-oral), and mean values were calculated. Higher values indicate deeper pockets and greater inflammation. Unit of Measure: millimeters (mm)
Bleeding on Probing
时间窗: From enrollment to the end of follow-ups at 3 months
Bleeding on Probing (BOP): Percentage of sites exhibiting bleeding upon gentle probing around a tooth or implant using a periodontal probe. Each site was scored as bleeding (yes) or not bleeding (no) within 30 seconds after probing. The percentage of bleeding sites was calculated as: (number of bleeding sites ÷ total sites) × 100. Higher percentages indicate greater inflammatory response. Unit of Measure: Percentage (%)
Gingival Index
时间窗: From enrollment to the end of follow-ups at 3 months
Gingival index: A clinical measure used to assess the severity of gingival inflammation. It is based on the color, consistency, and bleeding of the gums when gently probed. The scale ranges from 0 to 3, where: 0 = normal gingiva (no inflammation) 1. = mild inflammation (slight color change, no bleeding on probing) 2. = moderate inflammation (redness, edema, bleeding on probing) 3. = severe inflammation (marked redness, ulceration, spontaneous bleeding) Higher scores indicate more severe inflammation. Unit of Measure: Units on a scale (0-3)
Plaque Index
时间窗: From enrollment to the end of follow-ups at 3 months
Plaque index: A scoring system used to measure the amount of dental plaque on the teeth or implants. The scale ranges from 0 to 3, where: 0 = no plaque detected 1. = plaque only detectable by probe 2. = visible plaque 3. = abundant plaque accumulation Higher scores indicate greater plaque accumulation. Unit of Measure: Units on a scale (0-3)
次要结局
- Bacterial Load of Peri-Implant Pathogens (qPCR)(From enrollment to the end of follow-ups at 3 months.)
- Suppuration(From enrollment to the end of follow-ups at 3 months)
