About this trial
Peri-implantitis is a plaque-associated condition occurring around dental implants, characterized by inflammation in the peri-implant mucosa and loss of supporting bone. To stop this progression, mechanical debridement of biofilm and calculus is commonly used to treat peri-implant lesions as well as the use of adjunctive measures such as titanium brushes. As observed, they improved plaque removal when compared with steel curettes alone. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate the impact of this procedure in terms of clinical, radiographic and microbiological outcomes to assess their efficacy.
