Prevention of Dental Implant Diseases: Early Diagnosis and Monitoring in Clinical Work and Enhanced Oral Health Maintenance at Home

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of regular antibacterial photodynamic Lumoral® treatment on gingival health and plaque volume, and anti-inflammatory effect of daily double light therapy on implant teeth. The study will use a medical device containing a light-activated Lumorinse® mouthwash and a Lumoral® light activator.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The hypothesis is that antibacterial photodynamic therapy improves tissue health by reducing inflammation without any side effect.

Study participants will be invited from a dental clinic in Tampere, Finland, from the patients of an oral hygienist's office. Participants will be randomized to the treatment and control groups using the closed envelope method. Participants in the treatment group will receive Lumoral® treatment according to the manufacturer's protocol, once daily for 10 min for 15 days and then twice daily for 15 days.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Active matrix metalloproteinase 8 (aMMP-8)
Time Frame: 30 days
Change in periodontal inflammation marker aMMP-8
30 days

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Bleeding on probing (BOP)
Time Frame: 30 days

Improvement in bleeding on probing (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

30 days
Visible plaque index (VPI)
Time Frame: 30 days
Change in visible plaque index
30 days
