Surgical Treatment of Peri-implantitis Using Open Flap Debridement With or Without Implantoplasty

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are studying the treatment of peri-implantitis, a condition affecting dental implants, to compare the effects of two surgical methods. This randomized, controlled trial evaluates whether adding implantoplastya procedure that smooths the rough titanium surface of implantsimproves outcomes when combined with open flap debridement. The study is conducted at a single center and includes adult participants with peri-implantitis on at least two implants. Participants receive surgical treatment involving open flap debridement with or without implantoplasty. Implantoplasty is aimed at facilitating better oral hygiene by mechanically smoothing the implant surfaces. The trial has two treatment groups one group will have open flap debridement plus implantoplasty, while the other group will have open flap debridement alone. Both procedures are performed surgically. During the study, participants will be monitored for bleeding on probing, suppuration, pocket probing depth, clinical attachment loss, radiographic bone loss, and implant fractures at 12 and 24 months after treatment. Quality of life changes reported by patients will also be assessed before treatment and at 24 months. The study involves double-blind evaluation and randomized allocation, with follow-ups extending up to two years to assess the long-term effects of the treatments.
