研究目的
To evaluate the effectiveness of 980-nm diode laser as a supportive modality to the non-surgical conventional treatment of peri-implant mucositis (PiM) and initial peri-implantitis (PI).
研究成果
Based on the obtained results, 980-nm diode laser may be considered an adjunct to the conventional non-surgical treatment of PiM and initial PI.
研究不足
Some limitations should be overcome for future studies such as enrolling a control group treated with placebo, considering long-term follow-up periods, including other parameters such as microbiological investigations, and increasing the number of patients.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study was a randomized clinical trial comparing the effectiveness of diode laser as an adjunct to non-surgical conventional treatment of PiM and initial PI.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Twenty-three patients with single implants suffering from PiM or initial PI were selected and randomly divided into two groups.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Diode laser (Raffaello?, Dental Medical Technologies, Lissone, Italy) of wavelength 980 nm, ultrasonic piezoelectric scaler, manual instruments (titanium-coated Gracey curettes), carbon fiber curettes, and 1% chlorhexidine gel.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Both groups received non-surgical conventional treatment, with the test group additionally receiving diode laser application. PPD and BOP were measured at baseline and at 3 months follow-up.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Statistical analysis was performed with SPSS for Windows 20.0. Mann-Whitney test was used for two-by-two comparison of the groups. Wilcoxon test was used to determine differences in mean clinical parameters at baseline and 3-month intervals in each group.
