What this trial studies
This study evaluates how patients' perceptions of peri-implant diseases, such as peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis, change before and after receiving non-surgical peri-implant therapy. It employs validated psychometric tools, including the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire and the Oral Health Impact Profile-14, to assess patients at the start and three months post-treatment. The goal is to determine if non-surgical treatment enhances patients' awareness and perceived impact of their oral health conditions.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 to 80 with a diagnosis of peri-implant disease requiring non-surgical therapy.
Not a fit: Patients who are pregnant, unable to perform basic oral hygiene, or cannot complete study questionnaires may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could improve patients' understanding and management of peri-implant diseases, leading to better oral health outcomes.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have indicated low perception of peri-implant diseases, suggesting that this approach to improving awareness may be novel and untested.
