Non-Surgical Treatment of Peri-Implantitis With Ultrasonic Carbon Tip

As the frequency of dental implants increases, the incidence of complications and peri-implant diseases also increases. Early diagnosis and treatment of the disease is important to prevent consequences up to implant loss. Non-surgical treatment is the recommended treatment in the first stage due to its shorter duration and low morbidity rate. Non-surgical treatment of peri-implantitis provides clinical improvements such as reduced bleeding on probing (20-50%) and, in some cases, reduced pocket depth (≤ 1 mm). This study aims to clinically and radiographically compare two different mechanical treatments in patients with mild and moderate peri-implantitis.
