Brief Summary

The elimination of pathogenic microorganisms from the muco-gingival tissue and implant pockets system is one of the main aspects for success in the treatment of peri-implantitis. The purpose of this study is to conduct a blinded and randomized clinical trial to evaluate the effectiveness of photodynamic therapy in the treatment of peri-implantitis. Twenty implants with peri-implantitis will be selected. Implants will be randomly divided into two groups (n = 10), Group 1: control - conventional treatment and Group 2: conventional treatment and antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT). aPDT will be performed after the purse removal service in sites with pockets greater than or equal to 5 mm. The photosensitizer will be PapaMblue®, which will be deposited in the peri-implant pockets, with pre-irradiation time of 1 min. Next, the laser emitting a wavelength of 660 nm, with power of 100 mW, for 2 min, radiant exposure of 30 J/cm2 and power density of 250 mW/cm2 in the buccal and mesial regions will be applied. The distribution of the data within each group will be evaluated and the variances will be checked to choose a more appropriate statistical analysis. The sample calculation is based on the literature and the significance level of 5% will be adopted.

Study Groups

Control group

The treatment will consist of oral hygiene orientation, with brushing technique instructions and daily flossing recommendation. All patients will receive a demonstration of oral hygiene techniques. The calculus deposits on the teeth will be removed with an ultrasound equipment and curettes for root scaling and straightening13. In implants, calculus will be removed with specific curettes for use on the implant surface. Treatment will be performed in 2 to 4 sessions under local anesthesia (typically 2% mepivacaine with 1: 100,000 noradrenaline). Gracey periodontal curettes (numbers 3/4, 7/8, 11/12 and 13/14) and Mc Call for removal of the dental calculus will be used. Other biofilm-retaining factors, such as carious lesions, condemned teeth and maladaptive restorations, will be removed during these periodontal treatment sessions.

aPDT group

aPDT will be performed after conventional treatment, in sites with pockets greater than or equal to 5 mm. The PapaMblue® photosensitizer with 100 μM methylene blue will be deposited in the pockets with a syringe, with the bottom of the pouch in the coronal direction, and a pre-irradiation time of 1 min will be adopted, so that the PS may stain the entire bacterial biofilm. Then, the laser emitting an wavelength of 660 nm, with power of 100 mW, will be applied. The laser will be applied to the mucosa on the oral epithelium with an optical fiber (apparatus of DMC Therapy EC, São Carlos, Brazil). Irradiation will be performed until the entire peri-implanted pouch is illuminated for 2 minutes at each point. The 6 points around the implant will be irradiated and each irradiation point will present an area of 0.4 cm2, which will result in radiant exposure of 30 J/cm2 following 2 min of irradiation per point. The irradiation will have a constant power density of 250 mW/cm2.
