NCT03127228

Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to evaluate if using Erbium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet laser, Erbium YAG laser (Er:YAG) laser could have adjunctive benefits to the conventional standard mechanical debridement to ablate the infected tissue around the dental implant and detoxify the contaminated implant surface for resolving peri-implant infection and enhance bone regeneration of peri-implant defects.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • Change in Periodontal Probing Depths (PD)

    PD will be measured in millimeters. Change in PD measurements were calculated between baseline and 24 weeks.

    Baseline and 24 Week

  • Change in Clinical Attachment Level (CAL)

    CAL will be measured in millimeters. Change in subject CAL measurements were calculated between baseline and 24 weeks.

    Baseline and 24 Week

  • Change in Bleeding on Probing (BOP)

    BOP will be measured dichotomously as 0 or 1. Score 0=no bleeding present Score 1=bleeding present Change in subject BOP score was calculated between baseline and 24 weeks and reported as percent of sites with BOP.

    Baseline and 24 Week

  • Change in Radiographic Bone Fill (RBF)

    Peri-implant bony defect change will be measured compared to baseline. Participants' standardized radiographs were used to determine bone level changes between baseline and 24 weeks.

    Baseline and 24 Week

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 85 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Subjects, aged 18 - 85 years
  • Physical status according to the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) I or II, which includes patients who are systemically healthy or suffer under mild to moderate, but well controlled systemic diseases.
  • Subjects having a minimum of 1 dental implant with peri-implantitis.
  • Dental implants with peri-implantitis ≥ 2 threads exposed (infrabony defect) identified on the radiograph and pocket probing depth (PPD) ≥ 5mm, with bleeding on probing (BOP) and/or suppuration (pus)
  • The implants are in function for at least 6 months
  • Only rough surface implant will be included in this study

You may not qualify if:

  • Long-term use of antibiotics \> 2 weeks in the past two months
  • Obvious malpositioning of the dental implants
  • Subjects taking medications known to modify bone metabolism (such as bisphosphonates, corticosteroids, Hormone replacement therapy for menopausal women, parathyroid hormone, Denosumab, strontium ranelate)
  • Pregnant females or those planning to become pregnant
  • Subjects with a history of major diseases, oral cancer, sepsis or those having adverse outcomes to oral procedures in the past, will be excluded
  • Mobility of dental implants
  • History of alcoholism or drug abuse
  • Current smokers
  • Diseases of the immune system or any medical condition that may influence the outcome (uncontrolled diabetes (HbA1c \>8)
  • Uncontrolled systemic disease or condition known to alter bone metabolism, like Osteoporosis, Osteopenia, Hyperparathyroidism, Paget's disease
  • The researcher believes that it is not the best interest of the subject to stay in the study
  • If the subject's medical condition requires interventions which preclude involvement in the study (radiation therapy, chemotherapy, etc)
  • If the subject does not follow study related instructions
  • The study is suspended or canceled.
