• Conditions: Alveolar Bone Loss; Peri-Implantitis
• Interventions: Procedure: Titanium Curette; Procedure: Ultrasonic Carbon Tip

• Registration Number: NCT06514677
• Lead Sponsor: Kutahya Health Sciences University

Brief Summary

As the frequency of dental implants increases, the incidence of complications and peri-implant diseases also increases. Early diagnosis and treatment of the disease is important to prevent consequences up to implant loss. Non-surgical treatment is the recommended treatment in the first stage due to its shorter duration and low morbidity rate. Non-surgical treatment of peri-implantitis provides clinical improvements such as reduced bleeding on probing (20-50%) and, in some cases, reduced pocket depth (≤ 1 mm). This study aims to clinically and radiographically compare two different mechanical treatments in patients with mild and moderate peri-implantitis.

Detailed Description

60 patients with at least one implant with mild to moderate peri-implantitis, defined as 2-4 mm radiographic reduced bone level, bleeding index (BI) ≥ 2, and probing pocket depth (PPD) ≥ 4 mm will be randomly allocated to test and control groups, receiving titanium curettes or ultrasonic Carbon tips debridement, respectively. Treatment was performed at baseline. Plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), Periodontal pocket depth (PD), Bleeding on probing (BOP) gingival recession (GR) and Clinical attachment level (CAL) will be measured at four sites per implant and recorded by examiner at baseline, one, three, six and twelve months. Pus will be recorded as present/not present. The radiographic marginal bone level changes will be calculated at baseline, third months, sixth months and 12 months.
