Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are individuals with peri-implant mucositis who have bleeding on probing and no history of periodontal disease or systemic diseases.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with existing periodontal disease or systemic conditions may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of non-surgical periodontal therapy in resolving peri-implant mucositis by comparing patients with congruous and non-congruous single dental implant restorations. Participants will undergo treatment to assess changes in probing depth and clinical improvement. The study focuses on patients exhibiting bleeding in the subgingival space, with the goal of determining which type of dental restoration yields better outcomes in managing gum inflammation.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved treatment protocols for patients with peri-implant mucositis, enhancing their oral health and implant longevity.
How similar studies have gone: While the specific comparison of congruous versus non-congruous restorations is novel, similar studies on non-surgical treatments for peri-implant mucositis have shown promising results.
