About this trial
This early-stage study is designed to determine the efficacy of the Lumoral method in periimplantitis. Improved supragingival plaque control can help to also sustain subgingival plaque management in the long term. In addition, the device might have a photobiomodulation effect on periodontal tissues, thus impacting osseointegration.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Bleeding on probing (BOP)
Change in the inflammatory parameter BOP. A full-mouth assessment at six sites per tooth: * Gingival bleeding is considered as positive if bleeding occurs within 15 seconds after gentle probing with a probe at the sulcus * Dichotomous scoring to each site of the tooth as bleeding "1 present" and "0 absent" * BOP reported as the percentage (%) of sites with positive findings * Calculation formula: number of bleeding sites/ 6 times number of teeth
Secondary outcomes
Active matrix metalloproteinase 8 (aMMP-8)
The oral rinse fluid sample collection and the aMMP-8 marker analysis will be performed using Periosafe test (Dentognostics GmbH) according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Inflammatory marker total MMP-8 analysis
Measurement of pro and active MMP-8. Units: ng/ml.
Inflammatory marker total MMP-9 analysis
Measurement of pro and active MMP-9. Units: ng/ml.
Inflammatory marker total MMP-2 analysis
Measurement of pro and active MMP-2. Units: ng/ml.
Other outcomes
