Overview

Bleeding on probing (0,1,2,3), plaque index (+,-) and pocket probing depth will be recorded for each visit. Before the procedure, the patient will be randomly assigned to one of four groups and records will be kept. In the frst visit of the patient, necessary actions will be taken according to the group to which the patient is assigned. The implant periphery of the patients assigned to the chitosan brush group will be debrided with a chitosan brush with circular movements. The implants of the patients assigned to the air abrasive device group will be cleaned in the same way with circular movements. The debrided area of both groups will be washed with sterile serum after the treatment. Patients will be called at the 2nd, 4th and 12th weeks and compared with the records kept.

Description

Patients with single implants and single cemented crowns with peri-implant mucositis on their posterior teeth (Premolars and molars) Regular peri-implant mucositis treatment with air-abrasive device and a new method with labrida bioclean brush for cleaning the infection.

Experimental procedures and follow-ups Bleeding on probing (0,1,2,3), plaque index (+,-) and pocket probing depth will be recorded for each visit. Before the procedure, the patient will be randomly assigned to one of four groups and records will be kept. In the frst visit of the patient, necessary actions will be taken according to the group to which the patient is assigned. The implant periphery of the patients assigned to the chitosan brush group will be debrided with a chitosan brush with circular movements. The implants of the patients assigned to the air abrasive device group will be cleaned in the same way with circular movements. The debrided area of both groups will be washed with sterile serum after the treatment. Patients will be called at the 2nd, 4th and 12th weeks and compared with the records kept.

The number of cases to be taken in total, 12 cases, was determined as 48. There will be 54-55 cases with 10% drop out share.

Repeated measures analysis of variance will be used to analyze quantitative data. For multiple comparisons, the Bonferroni test will be used. Analysis results will be presented as mean and standard deviation for quantitative data, and frequency and percentage for categorical data. The signifcance level will be taken as p<0.05.

Peri-implant mucositis is the last reversible stage before peri-implantitis. Treatment of the disease at this stage is very important. When treated, bone loss around the implant will be prevented and implant survival will be prolonged.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
