• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 63 (actual)
• Sponsor: Ahram Canadian University · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years – 60 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

The purpose of the study is to investigate the significance difference between low intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) versus low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on osseointegration, soft tissue healing, pain pressure threshold and oral health related quality of life in patients post dental implant surgery.

Conditions

• Dental Implant
• Surgical Dental Prostheses
• Dental Implantation

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Low intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS)	LIPUS will be delivered intra-orally using a probe applied on the buccal aspect of the implant site. The probe is in contact with the buccal attached gingiva with a thin film of intra oral gel intervening between them, acting as a transmitting medium. It will be applied twice a week for 20 minutes each session that commenced after surgery on the second day and continued for 10 weeks. The intensity of ultrasound therapy used was 30 mW/cm2 with a frequency of 1.5 MHz and temporal average power of 20 Mw
DEVICE	low level diode laser therapy	The patients will be irradiated with low level diode laser therapy (GaAs) (Chattanooga, model 27841, USA) .Patient will be irradiated with low level diode laser therapy with parameters: wavelength 850 nm and power of 200 mw in continuous mode will be applied in six points in non-contact method 10 mm away from the peri-implant soft tissue after suturing. The laser irradiations will be administered at six sites that included mesiobuccally, distobuccal, midbuccal, midlingual, mesial, and distal areas around implant for a duration of 10 seconds for each site. The total energy delivered was 6 J per session. And is based on a previous study by Gulati et al., 2020
OTHER	Standard Care	Patients in all three groups will receive the standard care which includes: (1) Extra-oral ice packs during the first 2 days every two hour; (2) maintain daily routine oral hygiene after surgery; (3) Patients will be instructed to eat a soft diet for one weeks; (4) Broad spectrum oral antibiotics in a dose of one capsule every twelve hours for a week; (5) Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs at a dose of one tablet every 8 hours for four days; (6) Warm chlorhexidine gluconate solution as a mouthwash for a period of 2 weeks to enhance plaque control.
