Longitudinal Evaluation of Regenerative Treatment of Peri-implantitis Assited by Er,Cr:YSGG Laser: up to 10 Years Follow-up

Brazil80 participantsStarted 2025-07-29

Plain-language summary

Peri-implantitis is a pathological condition characterized by the inflammation of peri-implant connective tissues and progressive alveolar bone loss. There is a global concern about the increasing prevalence of this disease, which may affect up to 43% of implants in function. This cohort study will evaluated the long term follow up of a randomized, controlled, double-blind placebo study that evaluated the regenerative treatment of peri-implant diseases with surgical debridement and Er,Cr:YSGG AG laser associated with systemic antibiotics. A total of 80 subjects with peri-implantitis (PD\>5mm, BoP and/or sup, bone loss \>3mm) will be treated reavluated after 10years follow-up. Clinical, radiographic, and microbiological parameters will be recorded at baseline and 120 months follow-up. The primary outcome variable of this trial was be the difference between groups for the change in clinical attachment level from baseline to 6 months. We did consider composite outcomes, although not as the primary outcome. We also aim to evaluate the number and percentage of patients (and implants) reaching the following clinical endpoint for treatment: Probing depth \< 5mm, absence of bleeding on probing and no further bone loss (Heitz-Mayfield and Mombelli, 2014). The secondary variables will be the differences between groups in PI, GI, BOP, SUP and PD and microbial profile.

Inclusion Criteria: * subjects with peri-implantitis presence of bleeding and/or suppuration on gentle probing, probing depths (PD) ≥ 6 mm, and bone levels ≥3 mm apical of the most coronal portion of the intraosseous part of the implant (Berglundh et al. 2018); treated by one of the treatment groups Exclusion Criteria: * failed implants, subjects with pregnancy or oncological problems

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
