Ultrasonic Scaler VS Erythritol for Peri-implant Maintenance of Loaded Implants With Crowns Made by Different Materials: 12-months Randomized Clinical Trial
Ultrasonic Scaler VS Erythritol for Peri-implant Maintenance of Loaded Implants With Crowns Made by Different Materials: 12-months Randomized Clinical Trial
The aim of the study is to assess the effect of a 12-month peri-implant protocol with erythritol orultrasonic scaler with peek inserts for dental implants with crowns made by different materials .
Patients will be randomly divided into two groups:
Erythritol group: erythritol with a particle size of ~14 µm will be used for 5 seconds (AIRFLOW® PLUS EMS) Ultrasonic scaler group: a piezoelectric handpiece with peek inserts (Mini Piezon EMS; PI EMS) .
Different subgroups will be defined according to the material of the dental crown of the related implant.
The mechanical debridement appointments will be carried out at the baseline, after 6 months, and after 12 months, after instruction and motivation of the patient, completion of the clinical chart with the recording of the Probing Depth (evaluation in mm of the peri-implant sulcus taken by a periodontal probe; 4 surfaces of the gingival margin are detected: vestibular, palatal/lingual, mesial, distal), Bleeding on Probing and Plaque Control Record.
