Filter by:The aim of this pilot, exploratory, single blind clinical trial is to evaluate the epigenetic changes associated with peri-implantitis.
The purpose of the study is to observe the effects of two commonly utilized treatment modalities to treat peri-implantitis and to compare the results. The first method of treatment is debridement with curettes and ultrasonic scalers and it represents the traditional approach in the treatment of peri-implantitis. The second method of treatment involves the use of the Biolase laser in addition to the traditional approach of debriding with curettes and ultrasonic scalers. No studies exist comparing these two approaches, and this will serve as a pilot study to explore possible differences. Our research hypothesis is that the addition of Er;Cr;YSGG laser is likely to be more effective in removing the microbiota from a rough implant surface, and that this will manifest with improved clinical parameters in subjects that receive this method of treatment.
The project will evaluate the potential benefit of the use of bone replacement graft as an adjunct to surgical therapy of peri-implantitis. The project will be conducted as a two-armed randomized controlled clinical trial of 5-year duration in 7 clinical centers. 140 systemically healthy patients diagnosed with peri-implantitis will randomly assigned to be treated with or without bone replacement graft. Outcome measures include assessments of inflammation, probing depth, recession, radiological parameters and PROMs.
This aim of this study is to compare different oral hygiene aids for the ability to remove plaque in patients who went through dental implant treatment and are currently on a maintenance program at the Graduate Periodontal Clinic, at the University of Manitoba, Faculty of Dentistry.
