Laser treatment
Laser treatment of the peri-implantitis lesion includes mechanical debridement of the implant using an ultrasonic device and plastic curettes followed by diode laser sub-mucosal application for 90 seconds. This is repeated two more times at one-week intervals.
Surgical treatment with adjunctive systemic antibiotics
Mechanical debridement of the implant will be done in a similar manner to the test group (without laser application) followed by open flap debridement 2 weeks after, and post-operative prescription of Amoxicillin and Metronidazole systemic antibiotics 3 times per day for a period of 1 week
