About this study
Official title: Efficacy of Adjunctive At-Home Photodynamic Therapy (aPDT) in the Treatment of Peri-Implant Mucositis: A Post-Marketing Interventional Pilot Study With a Medical Device
The study aims to establish a validated protocol enabling an alternative approach for bacterial biofilm control through the application of a novel at-home photodynamic/antibacterial blue light therapy in addition to non-surgical professional treatment (NST) for peri-implant mucositis. The primary outcomes will include reductions in plaque and bleeding scores, decreases in probing pocket depth, and lower aMMP-8 levels in PISF. Secondary outcomes will include changes in keratinized peri-implant mucosa (KPIM) and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs).
Read the detailed description
Dental implants offer an opportunity to restore oral health by replacing missing teeth, demonstrating exceptional longevity when properly maintained. The maintenance of implant health primarily depends on the effective removal of dental plaque, which is the primary cause of periodontal diseases, from both dental and prosthetic surfaces.
According to an accepted definition, peri-implant mucositis is an inflammation of the peri-implant mucosa without loss of supporting bone tissue, while peri-implantitis is characterized by inflammation of the peri-implant mucosa associated with supporting bone loss. Recent data indicate that a significant proportion, ranging from 50% to 90%, of implants are affected by peri-implant mucositis.
The diagnosis of peri-implant mucositis is currently based on clinical observations; however, clinical evaluations may yield false positives or fail to allow early diagnosis and timely treatment of pathological conditions. With the knowledge of the current restrictions, this study aims to evaluate the levels of active matrix metalloproteinase-8 (aMMP-8) derived from Peri-Implant Sulcular Fluid (PISF), which is one of the most precise and sensitive diagnostic markers of peri-implant tissue inflammation.
The treatment of peri-implant mucositis currently encompasses a range of professional and at-home measures. Typically, peri-implant mucositis precedes the characteristic bone loss of peri-implantitis; therefore, the timely treatment of clinical signs of inflammation is critical to prevent disease progression that could culminate in implant failure. Inadequate plaque removal increases the risk of peri-implantitis by hindering access to implant sites for oral hygiene, resulting in a higher incidence in areas that patients are unable to clean effectively compared to easily accessible sites, underscoring the importance of focusing on at-home dental care.
New methods for at-home oral care are under development, such as antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT), which utilizes a photosensitizer (PS) and low-intensity visible light to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) that target pathogenic bacteria. Antibacterial blue light takes advantage of the intrinsic antimicrobial properties derived from endogenous photosensitizing chromophores of pathogenic microbes, eliminating the need for exogenous dyes.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Standard oral hygieneOther
Standard protocol includes oral hygiene instructions (OHI), professional supragingival and subgingival instrumentation, and air polishing. A combination of manual tools (scalers/curettes) and electric tools (sonic/ultrasonic instruments) will be used to remove plaque and tartar, with particular attention to avoid damaging the implant surface. Both supragingival and subgingival surfaces will be treated with the air polishing device using glycine powder. A local antiseptic (1% chlorhexidine gel) will be prescribed twice daily for 7 days after TNC. OHI will be reinforced at each follow-up visit.
The addition of home-based dual-light photodynamic therapy (Lumorinse® + Lumoral®)Device
Lumorinse® is an effervescent tablet that provides a final concentration of indocyanine green (ICG) of 250 μg/mL when dissolved in 30 mL of water. After rinsing the mouth for 1 minute, the Lumoral® device is used to activate the ICG. The device consists of 48 LED lights in the shape of a mouthguard, which simultaneously provide antibacterial blue light (aBL) at 405 nm and near-infrared (NIR) LED light at 810 nm. In combination with the ICG photosensitizer, the device delivers simultaneous aBL and aPDT action on dental plaque. After 10 minutes of use (30 J/cm2 radiant exposure), the device automatically shuts off. After treatment, patients will follow regular home oral hygiene procedures according to the OHI provided.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Bleeding on probing (BOP)
Change in the inflammatory parameter BOP.A full-mouth assessment at six sites per tooth (mesiobuccal, buccal, distobuccal, mesiolingual, lingual, distolingual). Gingival bleeding is considered as positive if bleeding occurs within 15 seconds after gentle probing with a probe at the sulcus. Dichotomous scoring to each site of the tooth as bleeding "1 present" and "0 absent". BOP is reported as the percentage (%) of sites with positive findings.
Calculation formula: number of bleeding sites/ 6 times number of teeth.
Measured: 12 months
