Minimally-Invasive Non-Surgical Therapy of Peri-Implantitis
Minimally-Invasive Non-Surgical Therapy of Peri-Implantitis: A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial (MINST vs NSPT)
St. Anne's University Hospital Brno, Czech Republic
106 participants

INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
This multicenter, single-masked randomized controlled clinical trial evaluates the effectiveness of minimally-invasive non-surgical therapy (MINST) compared with standard non-surgical peri-implant therapy (NSPT) in patients diagnosed with peri-implantitis. The study investigates clinical outcomes, radiographic bone levels, patient-reported outcomes, and treatment time over 12 months.

Exclusion Criteria8
- Antibiotics in last 3 months
- Pregnancy/lactation
- Uncontrolled diabetes (HbA1c ≥7)
- Long-term SPIC (\>2 years)

Interventions
Standard mechanical debridement of the peri-implant pocket performed under local anesthesia. Treatment includes supra- and submucosal ultrasonic debridement using stainless-steel ultrasonic tips, followed by mechanical curettage of granulation tissue with steel curettes (Columbia 4R/4L). Soft-tissue curettage is performed from the inner aspect of the peri-implant pocket. No time restriction is imposed; the operator works until the implant surface is clinically clean.
Minimally invasive ultrasonic debridement performed under local anesthesia using exclusively thin, non-diamond ultrasonic tips (Satalec PS3, EMS PS, PS, PL1, PL2; Siroperio 1/2/3/7; Woodpecker P3; Acteon 10Z). Treatment is carried out under ≥3× magnification with emphasis on tissue preservation. The operator aims to achieve a stable blood clot emerging from the peri-implant pocket after instrumentation. No curettes or sharp instruments are used.
