Comparison of the Accuracy of Different Periodontal Probes for Peri-implant Pocket Registration

Completed

• Conditions: Peri-Implantitis; Peri-implant Mucositis

• Registration Number: NCT05332327
• Lead Sponsor: Malmö University

Brief Summary

Various types of periodontal probes (e.g., metal probes, plastic/bendable probes, electronic periodontal probes) are used for peri-implant pocket depth registration; however, depending on the shape and size of the prosthetic restoration an accurate peri-implant pocket registration might be impeded with standard metal probes. There is currently no systematic assessment of which probe is more accurate in peri-implant pocket registration. Therefore, peri-implant pocket registration of 50 patients with a screw-retained prosthetic restoration will be recorded with 3 different periodontal probes; i.e., with a metal probe, with a plastic probe, and with an automatic periodontal probe, before and after removal of the prosthetic restoration.
