Erythritol Air Polishing in Mucositis Treatment: A Randomized Controlled Trial


Sponsor

University of Coimbra

Enrollment

24 participants

Start Date

Mar 18, 2024

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of air polishing systems compared to the exclusive use of oral hygiene instruction in the treatment of peri-implant mucositis


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 YearsMax Age: 80 Years

Inclusion Criteria1

  • Adults with at least one implant in function for a minimum of one year affected by peri-implant mucositis.

Exclusion Criteria8

  • Pregnant or lactating women
  • patients unable to understand the treatment protocol and sign informed consent and/or patients younger than 18 years old,
  • medical conditions that prevents an oral examination,
  • incapability to perform oral hygiene measures due to physical or mental disorders,
  • patients with uncontrolled systemic diseases or neoplasms, infection with HIV or hepatitis, cardiovascular disease, blood disorders (e.g. coagulation disorders) and severe osteoporosis,
  • patients who have received systemic antibiotics, corticosteroids, or immunosuppressive therapy within 3 months before periodontal evaluation (baseline), as well as those who chronically use nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, require antibiotic coverage for dental procedures, and those who are undergoing chronic treatment with medications known to affect periodontal health (such as phenytoin or cyclosporine),
  • alcohol or drug addiction
  • implants with mobility and/or occlusal overload.

Interventions

PROCEDUREAir-polishing with erythritol at different time points

The air-polishing device will be inserted into each site of the peri-implant pocket at an angle ranging from 60 to 90 degrees, and each surface will be debrided for 5 seconds using erythritol powder (AIRFLOW Powder PERIO; EMS). In this group this procedure will be done ate baseline, 1 month and 2 months
