Non-surgical treatment of peri-implantitis with and without erythritol air-polishing a 12-month randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A variety of interventions have been explored in the non-surgical management of peri-implantitis. In spite of extensive testing of various study protocols, effective treatments largely remain unavailable. The objective of the present 12-month single-centre, examiner-masked, randomized controlled clinical trial was to explore whether a low-abrasive erythritol air-polishing system produces added clinical benefit when used adjunctive to conventional non-surgical management of peri-implantitis and to record any associated patient-centered outcomes.

Methods

Forty-three patients with mild to severe peri-implantitis including at least one implant either received ultrasonic/curette subgingival instrumentation and erythritol air-polishing (test) or ultrasonic/curette instr
