Brief summary
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.
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.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Bacterial counts | One month | Bacterial load around the the diseased implants will be determined at the initiation of the study. The assessment will be performed after one months |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Marginal Bone loss | Six months | The marginal bone loss around the diseased implants will be assessed after six months to analyse any bone level change. |
Other
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Peri-implant health indexes | one and six months | Bleeding on probing, probing depth and plaque index which determined at the initiation of the study will be re-evaluated after one and six months to asees the effect of the variables |
