NCT06762353

Brief Summary

The leading hypothesis behind this study is that a 3-month frequency of supportive peri-implant care (SPIC) recalls after surgical therapy of implants affected by severe peri-implantitis yields better results when compared to a 6-month frequency. Thus, the primary aim of this randomized clinical trial is to compare 2 different frequencies of SPIC recalls (3 and 6 months) after surgical treatment of severe peri-implantitis in terms of treatment success (absence of implant loss, probing pocket depth (PPD) ≤ 5 mm at all aspects, bleeding on deep probing ≤1 site/implant, no suppuration at all aspects, bone loss \<0.5 mm) at early follow-up (1-year) and implant survival at the 5-year examination. Secondarily, this randomized clinical trial aims to assess the effects of the 2 different frequencies over clinical attachment levels around remaining teeth.

Study Arms (2)

3-month frequency of supportive peri-implant care (SPIC)

EXPERIMENTAL

SPIC provided at a 3-month frequency starting from the 1-month re-evaluation after surgical treatment of peri-implantitis.

Procedure: 3-month supportive peri-implant care (SPIC)

6-month frequency of supportive peri-implant care (SPIC)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

SPIC provided at a 6-month frequency starting from the 1-month re-evaluation after surgical treatment of peri-implantitis.

Procedure: 6-month supportive peri-implant care (SPIC)

Interventions

SPIC including update on smoking status, evaluation of the patient's adherence to self-performed oral hygiene procedures, full-mouth supra-gingival instrumentation around teeth, repeated sub-gingival instrumentation on sites presenting a PPD \>4 mm with BoP/SoP or a PPD≥6 mm, supra-marginal instrumentation around implants, using an erythritol air abrasive system and interdental brushes, sub-marginal instrumentation on implants with BoP after deep probing by an erythritol air abrasive system and/or ultrasonic scaler provided at a 3-month frequency after surgical treatment of peri-implantitis.
