This study will be carried out to evaluate the efficacy of Er: YSGG laser on oral biofilm removal from implant surface in various peri-implant defect morphology in the treatment of peri-implantitis as a primary objective. To assess the morphological changes and the biological response (biocompatibility) of implant surface after Er: YSGG laser therapy through Profilometer analysis and cell culture process to detect attachment, differentiation, and mineralization of Isolated rat Bone Marrow Mesenchymal stem cells (rBMMSCs) respectively as secondary objectives.

The study was designed as an Ex Vivo study. Four periodontally and systemically healthy volunteers of both gender are included in this study for the formation of in vivo plaque biofilm. Each volunteer will wear a hard resin splint carrying six rough (machined implant; 3.3mm diameter, 8mm length) for 4 days to accumulate dental plaque naturally on the titanium surfaces of the implants. Therefore, 24 implants will be assessed for Er: YSGG laser therapy in different bone defect simulators.
