Clinical Trial Summary

This study aimed therefore to evaluate bone density (BD) and OPG levels in the peri-implant crevicular fluid (PICF) in lased controlled type II Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) patients versus non-lased T2DM patients. 40 T2DM patients were included in this study. Implants were randomly inserted in 20 non-lased T2DM patients (Control) and 20 lased T2DM patients (Intervention). BD and OPG levels in the PICF were assessed in both groups at the follow up points.

Description:

Background and objectives: Use of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) with dental implants has been suggested to improve bone quality during osseointegration. However, there is a lack of evidence about its influence on dental implants in diabetic patients. Osteoprotegrin (OPG) levels was reported as a biomarker for bone turnover to distinguish implant prognosis. This study aimed therefore to evaluate bone density (BD) and OPG levels in the peri-implant crevicular fluid (PICF) in lased controlled type II Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) patients versus non-lased T2DM patients. Methods: 40 T2DM patients were included in this study. Implants were randomly inserted in 20 non-lased T2DM patients (Control) and 20 lased T2DM patients (Intervention). BD and OPG levels in the PICF were assessed in both groups at the follow up points.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

• None of the participants had other major illnesses or severe diabetic complications.

• A detailed medical history of each subject was obtained according to the detailed questionnaire of the modified Cornell Medical Index [22].

• Diabetic control was measured by glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) of blood samples, patients had relatively stable glycemic control, as demonstrated by a difference not exceeding 1% in at least two HbA1c assays over the previous 6 months.

• Participants with partial edentulous posterior mandibular region with bone density ranging between D2 and D3, also having adjacent tooth with healthy periodontium were selected.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Any uncontrolled systemic diseases that prevent surgery for dental implant placement; (b) Need for guided bone regeneration or sinus lift for implant placement, and (c) History of radiation therapy in head and neck.

• Pregnant women, smokers and patients with para-functional habits, psychological problems or in-cooperated patients were also excluded.

Intervention

Radiation:
• low-level laser therapy (LLLT)
low-level laser therapy (LLLT) with dental implants has been suggested to improve bone quality during osseointegration. Low-level laser (Gallium Aluminum Arsenide Diode [Ga-Al-As]) (wavelength: 808 nm, average power density: 50 mW, circular spot diameter:0.71 cm, spot area: 0.4cm2) in continuous mode was applied in six points in contact with peri-implant soft tissue (1.23 minutes in each point of application; dose per point 11 J) before and immediately after suturing. The application points were divided into two points in the labial region where the implant would be placed (apical and cervical); two points in the lingual region (apical and cervical); and two points in the occlusal direction. After suturing the laser protocol was repeated in the same points following the same protocol, resulting in a total dose of 66 J for each application moment (before and after implant placement).
