Clinical Trial Summary

Despite extensive research on periodontitis, little attention has been given to the symptoms and perception of peri-implant diseases and their impact on oral health-related quality of life. The study aims to assess patient perception of these diseases and their impact on quality of life through a cross-sectional observational study. Patients will be recruited from the Unit of Periodontics at "Le Scotte" University Hospital and will undergo diagnosis followed by questionnaire assessments. No follow-up visits are planned, and validated questionnaires will be administered to evaluate perception and impact on quality of life. Study procedures will include recording biometric peri-implant parameters and administering questionnaires such as the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (BIPQ) and Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14).

Description:

Peri-implant diseases are inflammatory processes, influenced by biofilm, affecting the soft and hard tissues surrounding dental implants. They encompass two main conditions: peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis. While professional biofilm removal, coupled with plaque control, is considered the gold standard treatment, its efficacy is limited. Therefore, enhancing prevention and early diagnosis strategies for peri-implant complications is crucial. Despite extensive research on patient perception of periodontitis symptoms, little attention has been given to the symptoms and perception of peri-implant diseases and their impact on oral health-related quality of life. This observational study aims to assess patient perception of peri-implant diseases and their impact on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). The study is a cross-sectional observational study. Patients will be recruited from the Unit of Periodontics, Department of Medical Biotechnologies, at "Le Scotte" University Hospital. Following diagnosis of peri-implant disease, patients meeting inclusion and exclusion criteria specified in the protocol will be included. Given the study's cross-sectional nature, no follow-up visits are planned. Validated questionnaires regarding the perception and impact on the quality of life of peri-implant diseases will be administered. Study procedures will include recording biometric parameters extracted from a complete periodontal examination and administering questionnaires on the perception and impact on the quality of life of peri-implant diseases: Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (BIPQ) and Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14).

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Assessment of patient's perception of their peri-implant disease through the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (Brief IPQ)	Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire consists of 9 questions, each one evaluated on a scale of 0 to 10 (minimum score of 0, maximum score of 90). Higher scores mean a higher patient's perception of the disease (higher scores mean worse outcome).	Baseline
Primary	Assessment of peri-implant disease's impact on the oral health-related quality of life through the Oral Health Impact Profile 14.	14 questions about the impact of oral health on the quality of life; each question will be evaluated on a scale of 1 to 5 (minimum score of 0, maximum score of 70). Higher scores mean that patient's oral health impacts more significantly on their quality of life (higher scores, worse outcomes).	Baseline
