3 1. IMPLANTOLOGY Combined New Technologies to Improve Dental Implant Success -- Quantitative Ultrasound Evaluation of NIR-LED Photobiomodulation. Bouquot J, Brawn P. Abstracts of the 2008 Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Oral Medicine (2008) Background: Dental implants must be placed in healthy bone for successful osteointegration and stability. Low bone density (LBD) and ischemically damaged, desiccated bone both have a poor ability to remodel and are, therefore, contraindications for implants. Readily available diagnostic imaging devices, includ- ing dental radiographs, lack the ability to adequately identify such bone. However, the new technology of through-transmis- sion or quantitative ultrasound (QUS) is specifically cleared by the FDA to safely identify LBD and dehydrated bone and has a very low ( 3%) false positive rate. Near-infrared light emitting diode (NIR-LED) therapy or photobiomodulation has been shown in cultured cells and animal models to stimulate bone healing and production. The present investigation uses QUS to determine the efficacy of in-vivo NIR-LED phototherapy to increase bone density and/or hydration of abnormal alveolar bone. Methods: 68 patients received LED therapy (OsseoPulse, version 1.0, Biolux Research Ltd., Vancouver, Canada; 15 min- utes daily for 3 months) to 294 QUS positive edentulous alveolar sites of LBD/desiccation. Before and after QUS scans were graded blindly by two independent observers (5-point scale: 0 normal bone, 4 most severe), after calibration, and compared using matched pair analysis. Results: After NID-LED photomodulation the average grade improved from 2.43 to 1.33 (44.3% improvement), with 42% of sites returning to completely normal bone and 18.4% returning to grade 1. The mean difference (improvement of bone quality) of 1.11 was very statistically significant (matched pair analysis: Std error ; t-ratio ; DF 293; prob less than ; 95% confidence interval ). Conclusion: NID-LED therapy seems to hold good potential for improving alveolar bone prior to implant placement, but long-term improvement must be evaluated, as must actual im- plant stability.

Low bone density (LBD) and ischemically damaged, desiccated bone both have a poor ability to remodel and are, therefore, contraindications for implants. Near-infrared light emitting diode (NIR-LED) therapy or photobiomodulation has been shown in cultured cells and animal models to stimulate bone healing and production. Study: 68 patients received 12 weeks of OsseoPulse therapy to 294 sites of ischemic/low bone density. Bone density/hydration improved by 44%, and 42% of sites returned to completely normal bone. Conclusion: OsseoPulse therapy seems to hold good potential for improving alveolar bone prior to implant placement. Accelerated Implant Stability After LED Photobiomodulation Brawn P, Kwong-Hing A, Boeriu S and Clokie CM, J Dent Res 87(Spec Iss B):2021, 2008 Study: This article examines the effect of OsseoPulse treatment on implant stability, as assessed by resonance frequency analysis. 35 patients had 63 dental implants placed. 23 patients were treated with the OsseoPulse for 21 days. All implants were tested for primary stability with an Osstell Mentor TM at the time of implant placement, 14, 30, 60 and 90 days. Conclusion: Patients treated with the OsseoPulse demonstrated significantly (p<0.05) improved dental implant stability at day 14, day 30 and day 60. There was a 58% reduction in time required to achieve sufficient stability to load implants compared to controls. These results may suggest that OsseoPulse treatments may allow for more rapid integration of dental implants and earlier loading. Page 4

5 A histologic comparison of light emitting diode phototherapy-treated hydroxyapatitegrafted extraction sockets Brawn P, Kwong-Hing A, Implant Dent 2007; 16(2): Case Study: After bilateral extraction of periodontally involved lower molars an investigational OsseoPulse TM was used daily for 21 days on the treated side after grafting both sockets with Hydroxyapatite (HA) Osteograf LD300. Bone regeneration of the OsseoPulse TM treated and nontreated socket graft was compared. Histologic evaluations showed enhanced bone formation and faster particle resorption associated with the OsseoPulse TM treated socket graft compared with the untreated socket. Conclusion: In this bilateral case study the accelerated bone healing in the OsseoPulse TM treated HA socket graft may provide faster implant placement compared to untreated treated socket grafts.

6 The Effect of light emitting diode (LED) on the healing of endosseous intraoral implants Ghuloom M. MS thesis. University of Toronto, Toronto, Print. Objective: The objectives of this study are to assess the role of photobiomodulation on the early bone tissue healing period applied to the practice of endosseous dental implants using a randomized clinical trial (RCT), and to assess the role of photobiomodulation on peri-implant alveolar crestal bone in the early healing period of bone tissue. Study: After obtaining ethics approval from the University of Toronto, a total of 72 patients requiring 76 dental implants (35 female and 37 male; mean age 63.5; range 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. Patients in the treatment group were educated on how to use the OsseoPulse device and were instructed to apply it to the surgical site preoperatively for 20 minutes, and for additional 10 daily sessions of 20 minutes each postoperatively starting the day of surgery. Implant stability was assessed using the Osstell device which utilizes resonance frequency analysis (RFA) technology and expresses data as Implant Stability Quotient (ISQ) values. ISQ of the implants was measured at time of surgery immediately following implant placement. It was also reassessed on a frequent basis in weeks 1, 2, 4, and 8 post operatively. The radiographs were taken immediately after insertion and at 8 weeks follow-up appointment. Radiographs were analyzed using SigmaScan Pro and the data were analyzed statistically using SPSS and Stata. Conclusion: Data suggest that photobiomodulation by means of LED will allow for a continuous increase in ISQ value and may reduce crestal bone resorption in the early phases of bone healing around dental implants. As expected, there was a continuous decrease in ISQ value in the control group over the first 4 weeks following implant placement. This was followed by an increase at 8 weeks postoperatively. On the other hand, this ISQ decrease was not seen in the treatment group; instead, there was a continuous increase in ISQ values over the follow-up period. A significant change in ISQ values (p < 0.001) was seen between the groups at every follow-up visit in comparison to initial visit. Regression analysis study showed that the primary effect of LED on ISQ values was seen over the first 2 weeks (p < 0.05). The mean crestal bone loss among the control was significantly greater than the treatment group at 8 weeks (p = 0.05). Page 6

7 Phototherapy promotes attachment and subsequent proliferation of human osteoblastlike cells Khadra M, Kasem N, and Brawn P, J Dent Res 87(Spec Iss B):3308, 2008 Study: The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of OsseoPulse treatment on attachment and proliferation of human osteoblast-like cells cultured on titanium implant material. Cells derived from human mandibular bone were exposed to OsseoPulse and then seeded onto titanium discs. Non-exposed cultures served as controls. Cell proliferation was determined after staining by counting cells under a light microscope. Furthermore, MTT analyses were also performed to determine cellular attachment and proliferation. Conclusion: In this cellular model the attachment and proliferation of human osteoblast-like cells cultured on titanium implant material was significantly enhanced (p <0.05) after OsseoPulse TM treatment compared to controls.

8 Accelerated implant stability in indirect sinus lifts with bone grafts using LED phototherapy. Kwong Hing A, Brawn P. FDI World Dental Congress. Shenzhen, China Introduction: The stimulating effects of laser phototherapy on bone regeneration and implant osseointegration has been shown in a number of in vitro and animal studies. The effect of light emitting diode (LED) phototherapy on implant stability placed via an indirect sinus lift with simultaneous bone graft as assessed by resonance frequency analysis (RFA) has not been investigated. Materials/Methods: In this case study, the LED based system used was the investigational Biolux extra-oral phototherapy device (Biolux Research Ltd, Vancouver Canada, The LED array operates in the visible red spectrum at a continuous wavelength of 618nm. The device has an integrated alignment system that allows the dentist to position and fix the array on the cheek, directly over the surgical site. The computer controlled power supply is programmed to deliver the prescribed phototherapy regimen every time it is used. Because of the need to treat the site on a daily basis, the device has been designed for home treatments by the patient after instructions in its use. The Biolux device was used daily for 21 days post implant placement unilaterally in conjunction with 2 bilateral implants, indirect sinus lifts with bone grafts utilixing BioOss particularate. The posterior implants were tested for primary stability with an Ostell RFA device at implant placement and then weekly for 4 weeks and then monthly for 2 months prior to the initiation of prosthetic procedure. Results: The LED phototherapy treated implant showed increased RFA readings as indicated with an initial implant stability quotient (ISQ) of 39, at one week 65 at 2 weeks 68 and then plateaued out at 70 for 3 and 4 weeks and at 2 and 3 months. The untreated (control) side demonstrated an ISQ at placement of 41 and then 42 at one week, 45 at two weeks, 52 at 3 weeks, 58 at 4 weeks and then 64 at 2 and 3 months. The implants were restored conventionally with screw retained bridges. Conclusions: The accelerated implant stability in the phototherapy treated implant placed with simultaneous indirect sinus lift and bone graft as measured with an Osstell Mentor device as ISQ, may provide faster implant stability compared to non LED phototherapy treated implants. This may allow shorter treatment times before prostherics can be initiated. Page 8
