Brief Summary

Photodynamic therapy (PDT), also known as photoradiation therapy, phototherapy, or photochemotherapy, involves the use of a photoactive dye (photosensitizer) that is activated by exposure to light of a specific wavelength in the presence of oxygen. In recent years, PDT has been introduced as an important novel disinfection therapy in the field of implant dentistry. The inactivation of microorganisms using PDT has been defined as antimicrobial PDT. PDT has the potential to be an alternative of antibiotics, especially for the treatment of localized infections and oral biofilm. PDT is unlikely to cause bacterial-resistance and is equally effective against antibiotic-resistance and antibiotic-susceptible bacteria. Inconsistent results have been reported regarding the potential role of PDT as an adjunct to mechanical debridement in the management of peri-implant infection. Thus, the aim of the present trial is to investigate the treatment effect of non-surgical treatment with and without photodynamic therapy on initial peri-implantitis.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change of percentage of bleeding on probing sites

    A PQW Williams probe (Hu-Friedy, Chicago Ill, USA)will be used to detect the peri-implant pocket. the percentage of bleeding on probing sites (BOP) will be recorded.

    From baseline to 12 months after treatment

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Change of Probing Pocket Depth

    From baseline to 12 months after treatment

  • Change of modified plaque index

    From baseline to 12 months after treatment

  • Change of clinical attachment level

    From baseline to 12 months after treatment

  • Marginal bone loss

    From baseline to 12 months after treatment

  • Mucosa recession

    From baseline to 12 months after treatment

Study Arms (2)

Control group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Plastic curette will be used to perform the mechanical debridement. Then, irrigation (2% chlorhexidine) will be performed at contaminated sites.

Procedure: Mechanical debridementDrug: Irrigation

Test group

EXPERIMENTAL

Plastic curette will be used to perform the mechanical debridement. Then, the addition photodynamic therapy (PDT) will be performed. This will be performed with a set-up for PDT (HELBO Photodynamic Systems, German).

Device: Photodynamic therapyProcedure: Mechanical debridement

Interventions

Photodynamic therapy (HELBO Photodynaimc Systems GmbH, Wels, Austria)

Test group

Plastic scalers (Have implantrecallset, Kerr, Italy) will be used to curette the contaminated sites.

Control groupTest group

0.2% chlorhexidine digluconate solution (Bioworld, Madision, US) will be irrigated at contaminated sites for 1 minute.

Control group

Eligibility Criteria

Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Male and female subjects, ages over 18.
  • Subjects with at least one implant with initial peri-implantitis: PPD of 4-6mm combined with BOP+, bone loss of 0.5-2mm on peri-apical radiographs compared to the time point of restoration placement.
  • Availability for the 12 month duration of the study.
  • Good general health (ASA classification I-II).
  • Signed Informed Consent Form.

You may not qualify if:

  • Medically compromised subjects (ASA classification III-V)
  • Pregnant or lactating females.
  • Peri-implant mucositis defined as the absence of radiographic marginal bone loss between restoration placement and pre-screening review.
  • Subjects treated for \>2 weeks with any medication known to affect soft tissue condition (e.g. phenytoin, calcium antagonists, cyclosporin, Coumadin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) within 1 month of the baseline examination.
  • Unwilling to participate in the study.
