Combined Er:YAG And Nd:YAG Laser Protocol For Treatment Of Peri-Implantitis

Not Applicable

Recruiting

• Conditions: Peri-Implantitis

• Registration Number: NCT03819075
• Lead Sponsor: Luis Monteiro

Brief Summary

A laser treatment for periimplantitis using two different wavelengths (Er:YAG and Nd:YAG) will be compared to standard treatment in a randomized clinical trial.

Detailed Description

The general aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical outcome of the treatment of peri-implantitis using a combination of a Er:YAG and Nd:YAG laser protocol or using a conventional mechanical treatment in patients with a diagnosis of peri-implantitis.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Proportion of participants with treatment success	6 months	Treatment success defined as implant survival with the absence of peri-implant probing depths (PD) greater than 5 mm with concomitant bleeding/suppuration and absence of progression of peri-implant bone loss.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Bleeding on probing	12 months	evaluated as present if bleeding was evident within 30 s after probing, or absent, if no bleeding was noticed within 30 s after probing.
Plaque index	12 months	(PI)
Probing depth	12 months	measured from the mucosal margin to the bottom of the pocket.
Mucosal recession	12 months	measured from the mucosal margin to the bottom of the pocket.
Clinical attachment level gain	12 months	Difference in clinical attachment level at baseline and follow up.
Quality of life questionnaire	12 months	Oral Health Impact Profile-14 on the scale from 0 to 56 with higher scores indicating a poorer oral health-related quality of life.
