Abstract

The clinical efficacy of diode-laser assisted decontamination (DLAD) and Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) in managing peri-implant mucositis around platform-switch implants is of interest. A split-mouth randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted with 50 participants (100 sites), each receiving both DLAD and PDT on different sides of the mouth. Clinical parameters were measured before and after treatment at baseline, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months. Both DLAD and PDT are effective in treating peri-implant mucositis around platform-switch implants, with no significant difference in clinical outcomes.
