Treatment of Peri-implant Mucositis on Incongruous Dental Prostheses Versus Congruous

Impact of Non-surgical Treatment of Peri-implant Mucositis on Incongruous Dental Prostheses Versus Congruous on a Single Tooth Restoration

The aim of the present study was to test the hypothesis that non-surgical periodontal therapy on peri-implant mucositis resolution results in a greater clinical improvement in patients with congruous versus non-congruous single dental implant restoration.

The aim of the present study was to test the hypothesis that non-surgical periodontal therapy on peri-implant mucositis resolution results in a greater clinical improvement in patients with congruous versus non-congruous single dental implant restoration by comparing two groups of patients with peri-implant mucositis.

• peri-implant mucositis
• bleeding on probing and/or a gingival index <1 at least at one site at baseline
