Efficacy of Home-Use Dual-Light Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy as an Adjunct to Supportive Peri-Implant Care in Patients With Peri-Implant Mucositis Around Screw-Retained Full-Arch Implant-Supported Prostheses: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether a home-use light device helps control gum inflammation around dental implants in adults who have a full set of fixed teeth attached to implants. This gum inflammation, called peri-implant mucositis, is common and reversible, but can lead to more serious problems if it is not controlled. The device is meant to be added to the usual professional cleaning and hygiene care, not to replace it.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Researchers will compare adults who receive the usual professional care plus the home-use light device with adults who receive the usual professional care alone, to see if the device improves gum health.
