Brief summary

To evaluate the naturally occurring peri-implant mucositis (PM) treatment by means of non-surgical sub-marginal peri-implant instrumentation (NSPI) with or without use of enamel matrix protein derivative (EMD). Specifically, the primary outcome of the present study compared the efficacy of NSPI +EMD with respect to NSPI and placebo in the treatment of PM at 6 months follow-up by means of BOP reduction. The secondary outcome evaluated the influence of possible predictors on the BOP changes among all follow-up sessions.

Detailed description

Patients (n° 54) with Implants affected by PM were randomly assigned to test (NSMD+EMD) or control procedures (NSMD + placebo). At baseline, 1, 3, 6 months, full-mouth plaque score (FMPS), full-mouth bleeding score (FMBS), probing depth (PD), bleeding on probing (BOP), modified gingival index (mGI), and modified plaque index (mPlI) will assessed as well as levels of periodontal bacteria such as Aggregatibacter Actynomycencomitans, Porphyromonas Gingivalis, Tannerella Forsythia and Treponema Denticola. The BOP reduction was set as a primary outcome and the patient was considered statistical unit. Data were analysed to assess BOP reduction at a 6-month follow-up and to identify significant predictors of implant-site BOP through mixed generalized linear regression.
