Peri-Implantitis
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Peri-Implantitis focused on measuring Er:Cr:YSGG, biomarkers, laser, osteoprotegerin, peri-implantitis, RANKL
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: bone loss as evidenced by X-ray and inflammatory symptoms in the soft tissue, bleeding and/or suppuration around the implant compatible with peri-implantitis (each patient had a single dental implant or the implant in the deepest pathological pocket not requiring surgical intervention was chosen in case of peri-implantitis in multiple implants); radiotherapy or chemotherapy-naïve patients; having no bone disease such as osteoporosis or osteopetrosis; receiving no bisphosphonate therapy; having functional prosthetic loading on the implant for at least six months requiring no advanced surgical technique for the treatment of peri-implantitis. Exclusion Criteria: having systemic diseases such as diabetes, autoimmune disorder, renal or hepatic impairment; having uncontrolled periodontal disease in natural teeth existing in the mouth; smoking habit; having parafunctional habits which affect osseointegration of the dental implant; receiving antibiotherapy three months before the diagnosis of peri-implantitis; having non-osseointegrated dental implant; pregnancy and lactation.

Non-surgical mechanical therapy
Er, Cr: YSGG laser-assisted non-surgical mechanical therapy
Titanium curettes were used for non-surgical mechanical therapy in both groups under local anesthesia. The curette was gently inserted into the peri-implant pocket and the mechanical therapy was completed with threads felt. The control group received mechanical therapy alone.
