What this Trial Is About

This research aims to compare two different mechanical methods for non-surgical treatment of mild to moderate peri-implantitis, a condition affecting dental implants that can lead to implant loss if not treated early. The study focuses on patients with specific signs of peri-implantitis such as bone loss and increased bleeding and pocket depth around implants. It evaluates clinical and radiographic outcomes to understand which treatment offers better improvements. Participants will be randomly assigned to two groups: one receiving treatment with an Ultrasonic Carbon Tip and the other treated using Titanium Curettes. Both treatments involve cleaning the affected implant area without surgery. Treatments are given at the start of the study, and follow-up assessments occur over 12 months to monitor changes. During the study, researchers will measure several oral health indicators, including plaque and gingival indices, pocket depth, bleeding on probing, gingival recession, and clinical attachment level at multiple time points up to one year. Radiographic images will assess changes in the bone level around implants. Data on pus presence will also be recorded. This comprehensive monitoring helps evaluate the effectiveness and safety of each treatment over time.
