Non-surgical treatment for gum disease around dental implants

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of two different non-surgical treatments for peri-implantitis, a condition affecting dental implants. A total of 60 patients with mild to moderate peri-implantitis will be randomly assigned to receive either ultrasonic carbon tip debridement or titanium curette treatment. Clinical parameters such as bleeding on probing, probing pocket depth, and radiographic bone levels will be assessed at multiple time points over a year to determine the efficacy of each treatment method. The study seeks to provide insights into the best non-surgical approach for managing this common dental complication.
