Implant stability may be affected by initial resorption of bone at the implant surface. This may dictate the timing of implant loading. Since the discovery of osseointegration, scientists and clinicians have been investigating methods to enhance osseointegration by improving implant characteristics and enhancing the environment around the dental implant to provide optimal conditions for bone integration.
Several in vivo and in vitro studies have demonstrated that the use of photobiomodulation may improve bone repair in surgical defects. Greater and faster bone formation was seen in irradiated defects and surgical wounds when compared with control groups
Biolux Research Ltd. is pleased to announce the successful completion of a new clinical study using a shorter, more efficient, photobiomodulation treatment protocol to increase implant stability after surgery.
The clinical study was recently completed at the University of Toronto (Canada) by Mr. Mahdi Ghuloom, as part of his Master of Science thesis in the Graduate Department of Dentistry. The study investigated the efficacy of a new treatment protocol for the OsseoPulse™, Biolux’s approved photobiomodulation product, on implant stability.
A total of 72 patients requiring 76 dental implants (35 female and 37 male; mean age 63.5; range 35-100 years) were recruited and consented for inclusion into this trial. Patients received dental implants by a single operator. Implants were randomly assigned to one of two groups, control (n=47), and treatment group (n=29). All patients in the study received dental implant(s.) The treatment group had to apply light emitting diode (LED) delivered by OsseoPulse device to the surgical site, while the control group did not.
The OsseoPulse device consisted of an adjustable headset which could be customized to the patient’s face and head. Stability and repeatable positioning were achieved by ensuring three point contacts on the ear and bridge of the nose. This integrated alignment system allowed the dentist to position the LED treatment array over the surgical site on the surface of the cheek, ensuring a repeatable positioning by the patient
The new treatment protocol consists of a preoperative 20-minute phototherapy session on the day of surgery, followed by daily phototherapy sessions for the next 10 days, compared to the original 21-day treatment protocol). The results of the study show an increase in implant stability starting from day zero for the treated group, compared to the typical decrease in implant stability in the first few weeks after placement, as shown in the control group. Implant stability was assessed using the Osstell device which utilizes resonancefrequency analysis (RFA) technology and expresses data as Implant Stability Quotient (ISQ) values. The increase in implant stability with the new protocol suggests a reduced risk of implant failure and the potential for earlier or immediate loading of implants
How it works Works
Harnessing the Power of the Photon
Cytochrome c oxidase present in Mitochondria have the ability to absorb OsseoPulse™ photons and convert this EMF energy into chemical energy (ATP).
The wounded tissue and bone around the implant is ischemic and hematopoetic. Precursor cells and fibroblasts have decreased ATP and decreased metabolism. OsseoPulse™ treatment delivers energy to the cells directly to increase production of ATP which accelerates wound healing and bone formation.
Clinical benefits in implant dentistry
-
Shortened treatment times and faster integration
-
Minimize early failures due to loss of stability
-
Faster loading
-
Directly accelerate regenerative process of bone
-
Compatible with your existing implant systems
-
Treat single or multiple sites with use of additional treatment array
“ We believe that the significantly shorter protocol will lead to greater patient interest and compliance with the OsseoPulse™ treatment, resulting in better implant success for the patient” states Dr. Peter Brawn, founder and Chief Scientific Officer of Biolux. “Dentists will also benefit from a 10-day protocol by treating more patients with a shorter turnaround time per device as well as continuing to differentiate their practice ”
