Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to compare clinical outcomes (change in bleeding sites (BOP) and probing depth reduction (PPD) after mechanical debridement of implant surfaces at sites exhibiting plaque induced inflammation with or without adjunctive antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) and assess the microbiologic profile of plaque samples before and after treatment with or without aPDT samples.

Number of Sites With Plaque Per ParticipantBaselinePresence of plaque was evaluated at six sites (mesiobuccal, mid-buccal, distobuccal, distolingual, mid-lingual, and mesiolingual) around the implant surface and the presence of plaque will be recorded.
Max Probing Pocket DepthBaselinePeriodontal pocket depth was measured from the free gingival margin to the base of the pocket, with a UNC periodontal probe with 1mm measurement units. It was assessed at 6 sites per implant: mesiobuccal, mid-buccal, distobuccal, distolingual, mid-lingual, and mesiolingual. For each participant, the depth of the deepest of the 6 sites is reported.
Mean Probing Pocket DepthBaselinePeriodontal pocket depth was measured from the free gingival margin to the base of the pocket, with a UNC periodontal probe with 1mm measurement units. It was assessed at 6 sites per implant: mesiobuccal, mid-buccal, distobuccal, distolingual, mid-lingual, and mesiolingual. For each participant, an average of the depths of the 6 sites is reported.
Number of Bleeding Sites Per Participant as Assessed by Bleeding on ProbingBaselineBleeding on probing (BOP) will be assessed, where each of 6 gingival areas (mesiobuccal, mid-buccal, distobuccal, distolingual, mid-lingual, and mesiolingual) around each tooth will be gently swept by the periodontal probe just within the gingival sulcus of the implant and the presence or absence of bleeding will be recorded.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Levels of Immunologic Biomarkers in Peri-implant Sulcular Fluid (PISF) Sample as Assessed by Multiplexed Fluorescent Bead-based ImmunoassayBaselinePISF samples will be taken from six sites of each implant at baseline and 12 weeks after aPDT. The levels of interleukin IL-1a, IL-1b, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12, IL-7A, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-a, C-reactive protein, osteoprotegerin, leptin, and adiponectin will be determined using multiplex proteomic immunoassays.
Alpha Diversity as Indicated by Analysis of 16S rRNA Gene Data From Plaque SamplesBaselinePlaque samples will be taken from the deepest probing site of each implant at baseline and 12 weeks after aPDT. To assess bacteria in the sample, the V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene will be PCR amplified and sequenced, and 16S rRNA gene data will then be analyzed to determine the alpha diversity of the microbiota community at the implant site. In this study, the minimum alpha diversity is 1 and the maximum is 2501. A higher alpha diversity indicates a higher number of bacterial or taxonomic units in the sample.

Conventional Mechanical Therapy With aPDT Adjunct
Traditional non-surgical mechanical debridement along with antimicrobial photodynamic therapy will be done at implant sites by applying a photosensitizing dye methylene blue (0.1mg/ml) with a disposable syringe from the bottom of pocket in a coronal direction. The dye will be applied topically confined to the epithelialized space surrounding the implant fixture and will not be internalized. After 5 minutes in situ, the surrounding gingival tissues will be irradiated at six sites around the implant using a diode laser with a wavelength of 660nm, providing an energy density of 10 J/site, 100mW power, time equal to 100 seconds. After irradiation, the site will be thoroughly rinsed with saline.

Alpha Diversity as Indicated by Analysis of 16S rRNA Gene Data From Plaque Samples

Plaque samples will be taken from the deepest probing site of each implant at baseline and 12 weeks after aPDT. To assess bacteria in the sample, the V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene will be PCR amplified and sequenced, and 16S rRNA gene data will then be analyzed to determine the alpha diversity of the microbiota community at the implant site. In this study, the minimum alpha diversity is 1 and the maximum is 2501. A higher alpha diversity indicates a higher number of bacterial or taxonomic units in the sample.
