A Randomized Controlled Trial Examining The Effect Of Laser Disinfection On Peri-Implant Complications

Abstract

Introduction:

A damaging inflammatory condition that affects the soft and hard tissues around dental implants is called peri-implantitis (PI). It causes problems with osseointegration of the connections between the implant and bone1. A major contributing factor to PI is the presence of pathogenic microorganisms, which trigger inflammatory and infectious processes that lead to pocket formation and bone loss[1] Our systematic review's main goal was to thoroughly assess the effectiveness of various laser kinds utilized to treat peri-implantitis in patients. In this sector, we aimed to identify the most efficacious kind of laser therapy[2]. 

Using databases from scholarly websites incl[1]uding PubMed/Medline, Scopus, and Google Scholar, we carried out a systematic review. We used targeted keywords associated with laser therapy and peri-implantitis in our research procedure. We concentrated on published English human research that included case-control, clinical trials, and case series including laser treatment for peri-implantitis[1, 2]. 

 22 of the 174 articles that our original search produced were reviewed in this edition. However, because of the inconsistent findings reported in the literature, identifying the best laser treatment for peri-implantitis is still difficult1. When employing lasers, proper procedures and temperature control are essential to avoid damaging the implant and surrounding tissues.[3, 4]. 

Lasers have the potential to cure peri-implantitis, but further study is required to develop precise recommendations and procedures for their safe and efficient application. In order to give patients with peri-implant problems with individualized and evidence-based therapies, clinicians should use care and remain up to date on the most recent research.
