Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Microbial analysis of Porphyromonas gingivalis, Fusobacterium nucleatum, Staphylococcus aureus, and Streptococcus sanguinis will be performed on paper points collected to assess bacterial load and compare microbial colonisation between adjunctive herbal extract applications and conventional peri-implant therapyTimepoint: Sample will be collected immediately before surgery (baseline) and on the 7th postoperative day to assess bacterial load

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To evaluate the amount of crestal bone resorption, crestal bone levels around the implants were assessed using cone-beam computed tomography in both adjunctive herbal extract applications and conventional peri-implant therapy.Timepoint: CBCT analysis will be done immediately after surgery baseline and at three months postoperatively
