Brief Summary

Peri-implantitis is a pathological condition associated with plaque that develops around dental implants, characterized by inflammation and progressive bone loss in the peri-implant area. Bleeding on probing, suppuration, increased pathological pocket depths and/or mucosal recessions are seen with radiographic bone loss in peri-implantitis. When evaluated histologically, the lesion extends to the apical part of the pocket epithelium and contains a large amount of plasma cells, macrophages and neutrophils. In the Peri-implant crevicular fluid analysis, which is one of the most important parameters that enable the biochemical and immunological evaluation of the inflammatory state in the peri-implant region, information about the current inflammatory situation can be obtained by evaluating the content of an osmotic inflammatory exudate originating from the vessels in the gingival plexus. Many surgical and non-surgical methods have been proposed for the treatment of peri-implantitis. Mechanical surface debridement, laser application and air abrasives are a part of non-surgical treatment of peri-implantitis. In this study, we examined the effectiveness of diode laser in addition to mechanical debridement with titanium curettes. In our study, we aimed to compare these two treatments biochemically by determining the changes in interleukin-1β, Interleukin-10, Interleukin-17, RANKL, osteoprotegerin, TWEAK and sclerostin biomarkers in Peri-implant crevicular fluid and clinically.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Clinical parameter probing depth

    The primary outcome of the study was the control examination performed 3 months after the first examination. Probing depth was measured with a periodontal probe by the distance between gingival margin and the base of the pocket. The change between these time frames are recorded.

    Baseline, 3 months and 6 months

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Another outcome of the study is the collection of gingival crevicular fluid samples in the 3rd month.

    Baseline, 3 months and 6 months

  • Gingival bleeding time index

    Baseline, 3 months and 6 months

  • Gingival index

    Baseline, 3 months and 6 months

  • Plaque index

    Baseline, 3 months and 6 months

  • Clinical attachment level

    Baseline, 3 months and 6 months

Study Arms (2)

Diode Laser

EXPERIMENTAL

At baseline, diode laser is applied to one group.

Device: Diode laserDevice: Titanium curettes

Titanium curettes

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

At baseline, titanium curettes are used to both of the groups

Device: Titanium curettes

Interventions

Diode Laser is applied to one group as an adjunctive therapy.

Diode Laser

Non-surgical treatment with titanium curettes were administrated to both groups.
