Brief Summary

Peri-implant disease is an inflammatory process of bacterial etiology that can affect the tissues around the implants and can be classified as peri-implant mucositis or peri-implantitis. The confirmation of the action of probiotics against microorganisms that cause peri-implant diseases can represent a great advance in the treatment of these diseases that affect a large part of the population, and may even reduce or prevent the use of antibiotics, reducing the risk of implant loss and, consequently, greater damage to the oral and systemic health of individuals. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the action of probiotics on the peri-implant health of total edentulous patients using Branemark protocol prosthetic rehabilitations. For this, 38 patients were selected, without systemic alterations and non-smokers. Clinical monitoring was performed at baseline (pre-intervention period) as well as at 12 and 24 weeks after study initiation. The following parameters were evaluated: modified gingival index (MGI), modified plaque index (MPI), probing depth (PD) and probing bleeding (PB). Data were subjected to statistical analysis at a significance level of 5%. There was an increase in sites with IGM 0 in the test group at 12 and 24 weeks. The test group presented more sites with IGM 0 than the control. IPM 0 sites increased in the control group at 12 and 24 weeks in the control group. PD decreases in a test and control group. Finally, the test group had lower PB rates. Thus, the probiotic used demonstrated ability to contribute to the improvement of peri-implant health of the patients analyzed.

Model Details: Treatment of peri-implant mucositis and maintenance care Prior to the beginning of the intervention, all patients received oral hygiene instruction. Mechanical debridements were performed with titanium curves and polishing using a rubber bowl and polishing paste. In the Test Group the treatment session was completed by a professional topical application around the carboxymethylcellulose gel implants containing 109 CFLs of B. lactis HN019. The gel was applied sub and supragingivally. The patients then received commercial capsules containing the same bacteria and were instructed to dissolve the capsule contents in 20 mL of water and rinse for 30 to 60 seconds, followed by swallowing twice a day for 12 weeks. The control group received the same oral hygiene instructions, mechanical debridement and was treated with gel and placebo tablets. At 3 months postoperatively, the same local mechanical and chemical treatment was repeated for the Test and Control groups.
