Background:
Peri-implantitis is a significant challenge in implant dentistry, characterized by inflammation and progressive bone loss around dental implants. Traditional nonsurgical treatments have shown limited efficacy. Diode lasers, due to their bactericidal properties and minimal invasiveness, offer a promising alternative.
Objective:
To evaluate the efficacy of diode lasers in managing peri-implantitis, focusing on clinical and radiographic outcomes.
Methods:
This prospective research involved 30 patients with diagnosed peri-implantitis. Patients were randomly assigned to diode laser therapy or conventional mechanical debridement. Clinical parameters, including "probing depth (PD)," "bleeding on probing (BOP)," and radiographic bone levels, were assessed at baseline, three months, and six months posttreatment.
Results:
Significant reductions in PD and BOP were observed in the diode laser group compared to the control group at 6 months (P < 0.05). Radiographic analysis demonstrated improved bone stability in the laser-treated group.
Conclusion:
Diode lasers show superior efficacy in managing peri-implantitis compared to mechanical debridement, with enhanced clinical outcomes and minimal adverse effects.
