Filter by:The aim of the study is to assess which prophylaxis methods is the most suitable for peri-implant hygiene between erythritol and ultrasonic scaler with peek inserts. A randomized clinical trial will be conducted on the patient. Patients will be randomly divided into two groups: - Erythritol group: erythritol with a particle size of ~14 µm will be used for 5 seconds (AIRFLOW® PLUS EMS) - Ultrasonic scaler group: a piezoelectric handpiece with peek inserts (Mini Piezon EMS; PI EMS) will be used. Different subgroups will be defined according to the material of the dental crown of the related implant. The oral hygiene session will be carried out every 6 months (2-years follow-up; 6 sessions), after instruction and motivation of the patient, completion of the clinical chart with the recording of the Probing Depth (evaluation in mm of the peri-implant sulcus taken by a periodontal probe; 4 surfaces of the gingival margin are detected: vestibular, palatal/lingual, mesial, distal), Bleeding on Probing and Plaque Index.
The investigators are evaluating the therapeutic outcomes of two cleaning instruments on treating peri-implant mucositis. Peri-implant mucositis is inflammation around an implant that is limited to only the gum tissue and is characterized by bleeding on probing, pus, and without any evidence of bone loss. The investigators wish to compare the amount of inflammation and bacteria through measurements (like probing depth) and by collecting fluid and plaque samples around participants' implant after using one of the two cleaning instruments.
This controlled clinical trial will assess clinically, immunologically, and microbiologically the healing of experimental peri-implant mucositis (PIM) lesions in implants treated previously with implantoplasty (IP) compared to those treated without IP.
The use of titanium dental implants has become a common modern treatment to restore teeth. Although the success rate of dental implants is high, inflammation around the dental implant still occurs. The current study will investigate if the inflammation around the implant is due to bacterial infection, hypersensitivity or both. The goal of this cross-sectional study is to (1) Establish the levels of cytokines in peri-implant crevicular fluid associated with bacterial infection and hypersensitivity reaction; (2) Compare the levels of cytokines associated with hypersensitivity and bacterial infection between healthy implants and inflamed implants (peri-mucositis and peri-implantitis); (3) Determine whether the difference in the levels of cytokines, if they exist, reflects the clinical diagnosis of healthy implants and inflamed implants.
