About this study

Official title: Anti-infective Effect of Non-surgical Treatment With and Without Photodynamic

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.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Photodynamic therapyDevice

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

  • Mechanical debridementProcedure or surgery

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

  • IrrigationDrug

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

Control groupActive comparatorPlastic curette will be used to perform the mechanical debridement. Then, irrigation (2% chlorhexidine) will be performed at contaminated sites.
Receives: Procedure: Mechanical debridement; Drug: Irrigation
Test groupExperimentalPlastic 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).

What is being measured

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

  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.

    Measured: From baseline to 12 months after treatment

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Change of Probing Pocket Depth

    Probing Pocket Depth at every site will be assessed as the distance from the gingival margin to the apical end of the pocket using a PQW Williams probe (Hu-Friedy, Chicago Ill, USA).

    Measured: From baseline to 12 months after treatment

  2. Change of modified plaque index

    Modified plaque index 0= No detection of plaque.

    1. Plaque only recognized by running a probe across the smooth marginal surface of the implant. Implants covered by titanium spray in this area always score 1.
    2. Plaque can be seen by the naked eye.
    3. Abundance of soft matter.

    Measured: From baseline to 12 months after treatment

  3. Change of clinical attachment level

    Measured: From baseline to 12 months after treatment

  4. Marginal bone loss

    Periapical radiographs will be taken at baseline, 3, 6, 9 and 12 month examination. The distance from implant shoulder to the most coronal level of implant-bone contact at the mesial and distal site will be recorded. The alteration of the distance between baseline and follow-up visit will be defined as marginal bone loss.

    Measured: From baseline to 12 months after treatment

  5. Mucosa recession

    The distance from mucosa margin to the implant shoulder will be recorded using a PQW Williams probe (Hu-Friedy, Chicago Ill, USA). The alteration of the distance between baseline and follow-up visit will be defined as the mucosa recession.

    Measured: From baseline to 12 months after treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Photodynamic therapy, Mechanical debridement and Irrigation in people with Peri-implantitis, run by Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University at 1 site in China.

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 5 inclusion and 5 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 16 May 2019. 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 China. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Change of percentage of bleeding on probing sites (time frame: From baseline to 12 months after treatment). 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 16 May 2019.
