VICENZA, Italy: Peri-implant disease poses a significant challenge in implantology. Recognising the need for a more effective and systematic approach to prevention and management, MEDENCY has developed a new decontamination concept using a cutting-edge radial optical tip. The Radial Decontamination Protocol (RDP) is an innovative laser-based method which, combined with the radial emission, aims to treat the peri-implant disease and maintain implant health through a more effective bacterial decontamination and tissue regeneration.

What is the RDP?

The RDP is a cutting-edge technique that employs the benefits of laser light and a less-invasive radial tip to perform laser-assisted full-mouth disinfection. Compared to the traditional-used optical tips, this protocol provides a comprehensive method to decontaminate the implant surfaces with low thermal effect, thereby reducing bacterial load and boosting soft-tissue healing. By employing MEDENCY’s dental laser devices and accessories, clinicians can apply the RDP to prevent and treat implant-related pathologies in a more effective way than before.

The RDP offers the following key benefits for implantology:

Bacterial decontamination: Radial emission covers effectively the site of the implant, working to eliminate biofilm from implant surfaces and surrounding tissue, reducing the risk of infection.
Inflammation reduction: it controls and minimises soft-tissue inflammation to promote faster healing.
Enhanced tissue regeneration: it stimulates cell activity to improve soft-tissue healing and reduce postoperative complications.
Minimally invasive and painless non-surgical approach: it ensures better patient comfort and faster recovery because of reduced trauma.
Customisable treatment plans: it is adaptable to the various stages of implant therapy.

How does the RDP work?

The RDP is structured into four key steps, ensuring a standardised and effective treatment approach:

analysis and consultation, involving a thorough patient assessment, including review of the patient’s medical history and examination of the implant site, to determine suitability for the protocol;
evaluation and planning, during which the most appropriate laser settings and techniques are selected based on the patient’s condition;
implementation of laser-assisted decontamination, targeting bacteria, reducing inflammation and promoting tissue recovery;
follow-up and maintenance to ensure long-term implant success.

Scientific backing and clinical validation

The effectiveness of diode lasers in implant decontamination and peri-implant disease treatment is widely supported by clinical research and the scientific literature. Studies have demonstrated the ability of diode lasers to penetrate bacterial biofilms, disrupt microbial colonies and support biostimulation for improved tissue healing. Research on laser-assisted peri-implant therapy highlights significant advantages over conventional methods. The RDP is thus supported as a reliable and evidence-based approach for implant maintenance.

A new standard in implant care

The RDP marks a significant advance in implantology, providing a structured, efficient and patient-centred alternative to conventional decontamination methods. MEDENCY remains at the forefront of laser technology, empowering dental professionals with innovative solutions that enhance treatment outcomes and patient care.
