Researchers are evaluating the Lumoral method in managing peri-implantitis, a condition characterized by inflammation around dental implants. This early-stage study aims to determine how well this antibacterial photodynamic therapy can help control plaque above the gum line, which may support long-term control below the gum line. The device might also have a beneficial effect on the tissues supporting the implant, potentially aiding implant integration. The study compares different treatment approaches including Lumoral Treatment combined with standard non-surgical care such as scaling and root planing (SRP) and oral hygiene instructions, as well as surgical anti-infective treatments with or without Lumoral. Participants use the Lumoral device, which involves swishing a photoactive mouth rinse that binds to dental plaque and then activating it with a light applicator at home. All groups receive guidance on electric toothbrushing, interdental brush, and floss use. Participants will be monitored over six months with assessments including bleeding on probing, measurement of inflammatory markers like active matrix metalloproteinase 8 (aMMP-8), periodontal pocket depth, plaque indexes, bacterial flora, and questionnaires about oral health impact. Safety is evaluated by tracking adverse events. The trial involves regular dental visits to perform these evaluations and assess treatment effects and tissue health over time.
