Clinical Report: Laser-Assisted Treatment of Peri-Implantitis With LAPIP™

Background

Peri-implantitis is a common complication associated with dental implants, characterized by inflammation and bone loss around the implant. Effective management is crucial to preserve implant function and patient health. The LAPIP™ protocol offers a minimally invasive treatment option.

Data Highlights

No numerical data or trial data provided in the source material.

Key Findings

  • Retained subgingival cement was identified as a persistent inflammatory source contributing to peri-implant bone loss.
  • The LAPIP™ protocol was performed without flap elevation, sutures, or biologic grafting materials.
  • Postoperative monitoring over one year showed resolution of suppuration and improved peri-implant tissue health.
  • AI-assisted evaluation indicated significant radiographic improvement in peri-implant bone levels from preoperative to 1-year postoperative imaging.
  • The treatment supported favorable healing with minimal postoperative discomfort.

Clinical Implications

Clinicians should consider evaluating for retained cement in cases of peri-implantitis, as it may be a significant factor in ongoing inflammation and bone loss.

Conclusion

The LAPIP™ protocol, combined with AI radiographic analysis, demonstrates management of peri-implantitis.
