About this study

Official title: A Randomized Clinical Trial of an Adjunct Diode Laser Application in the Treatment of Peri-implantitis.

The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of a diode laser (DL) as an adjunct to conventional scaling in the treatment of mild-to-moderate peri-implantitis. A prospective clinical, radiographic and microbiologic split-mouth study was conducted to test the following null hypothesis; adjunct application of a diode laser, in the conventional treatment of peri-implantitis, are not associated with a statistically significant difference regarding the microbial counts, marginal bone loss and peri-implant parameters.

Read the detailed description

Efficacy of a diode laser (DL) in peri-implantitis was investigated. 48 implants diagnosed with peri-implantitis were included. In addition to the conventional scaling and debridement, random 24 implants were lased by a DL. Periodontal indexes, microbiologic specimens and radiographs were used for assessment. Baseline parameters were similar between groups. After six months laser group revealed higher MBL than the control group. Microbiota of the implants were found unchanged after one month. DL appears to have no additional positive influence on the peri-implantitis treatment.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Bacterial counts

    Bacterial load around the the diseased implants will be determined at the initiation of the study. The assessment will be performed after one months

    Measured: One month

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Marginal Bone loss

    The marginal bone loss around the diseased implants will be assessed after six months to analyse any bone level change.

    Measured: Six months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Conventional peri-implantitis treatment and DL application in peri-implantitis in people with Implant and Peri-Implantitis, run by Istanbul University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Feb 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Bacterial counts (time frame: One month). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Feb 2015.
