SPiT-frequency I_Peri-implant Mucositis

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Submocosal instrumentation using a ultrasonic device (PEEK). Submucosal cleaning: The treatment under study is professional non-surgical, submucosal debridement with ultrasonic instruments with PolyEther Ether Ketone (PEEK) tip followed by copious irrigation with sterile saline

Study summary

This is an interventional clinical study on the peri-implant treatment necessary to improve the clinical conditions surrounding dental implants registered with peri-implant inflammation. The focus of this double-armed, examiner blinded, controlled, randomized clinical trial is to examine the effect of short-term increased frequency of a SPiT (supportive peri-implant treatment) protocol on implants diagnosed with peri-implant mucositis.

The study is a part of a project assessing the frequency of supportive peri-implant therapy. The current is on treatment of peri-implant mucositis (inflammation and no attachment loss at the implants) and secondary prevention of peri-implant mucositis. The other study is a RCT on non-surgical treatment of peri-implantitis (inflammation and exposed implant surface) (REK 790240). Exposure of rough surface may dramatically change the frequency of maintenance needed to improve the inflammatory condition. Thus, a segregation between adequate and low bone level at the implant is necessary.

Subjects with more than one implant and both diagnoses, may be enrolled in both studies, following the frequency of treatment randomized in the peri-implant mucositis study.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Peri-implant inflammation — From baseline to 9 months
  To assess the proportion of implants without signs of inflammation (Inflammation is defined as; Bleeding on Probing (BoP) and/or suppuration)
