Overview

Brief Summary

The elimination of pathogenic microorganisms from the muco-gingival tissue and implant pockets system is one of the main aspects for success in the treatment of peri-implantitis. The purpose of this study is to conduct a blinded and randomized clinical trial to evaluate the effectiveness of photodynamic therapy in the treatment of peri-implantitis. Twenty implants with peri-implantitis will be selected. Implants will be randomly divided into two groups (n = 10), Group 1: control - conventional treatment and Group 2: conventional treatment and antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT). aPDT will be performed after the purse removal service in sites with pockets greater than or equal to 5 mm. The photosensitizer will be PapaMblue®, which will be deposited in the peri-implant pockets, with pre-irradiation time of 1 min. Next, the laser emitting a wavelength of 660 nm, with power of 100 mW, for 2 min, radiant exposure of 30 J/cm2 and power density of 250 mW/cm2 in the buccal and mesial regions will be applied. The distribution of the data within each group will be evaluated and the variances will be checked to choose a more appropriate statistical analysis. The sample calculation is based on the literature and the significance level of 5% will be adopted.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Change in loss of clinical insertion

Time Frame: Baseline, 30 days and 60 days after treatment.

For the evaluation of clinical parameters, a single trained, calibrated examiner will examine 6 sites of each implant with a 15mm North Carolina millimeter probe (Hu-Friedy, Chicago, IL, USA) for the measurement of loss of clinical insertion. The evaluation will be performed at the beginning of treatment, 30 and 60 days after the first application of aPDT.

Change in probing bleeding

Time Frame: Baseline, 30 days and 60 days after treatment.

For the evaluation of clinical parameters, a single trained, calibrated examiner will examine 6 sites of each implant with a 15mm North Carolina millimeter probe (Hu-Friedy, Chicago, IL, USA) for the measurement of probing bleeding. The evaluation will be performed at the beginning of treatment, 30 and 60 days after the first application of aPDT.

Change in probing depth

Time Frame: Baseline, 30 days and 60 days after treatment.

For the evaluation of clinical parameters, a single trained, calibrated examiner will examine 6 sites of each implant with a 15mm North Carolina millimeter probe (Hu-Friedy, Chicago, IL, USA) for the measurement of probing depth. The evaluation will be performed at the beginning of treatment, 30 and 60 days after the first application of aPDT.

Change in gingival recession

Time Frame: Baseline, 30 days and 60 days after treatment.

For the evaluation of clinical parameters, a single trained, calibrated examiner will examine 6 sites of each implant with a 15mm North Carolina millimeter probe (Hu-Friedy, Chicago, IL, USA) for the measurement of gingival recession. The evaluation will be performed at the beginning of treatment, 30 and 60 days after the first application of aPDT.

Change in plaque index

Time Frame: Baseline, 30 days and 60 days after treatment.

For the evaluation of clinical parameters, a single trained, calibrated examiner will examine 6 sites of each implant with a 15mm North Carolina millimeter probe (Hu-Friedy, Chicago, IL, USA) for the measurement of plaque index. The evaluation will be performed at the beginning of treatment, 30 and 60 days after the first application of aPDT.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Microbiological examination (change in CFUs (Colony Forming Units))(Baseline and immediately after treatment.)
