Brief summary

Aim: To compare the effect of manual and sonic-powered toothbrushing on biofilm control in patients with peri-implant mucositis. Materials and methods: The study was completed with a total of 41 patients, 21 in the sonic tooth brushing group and 20 in the manual tooth brushing group. The patients' baseline, 3rd-month, 6th-month and 9th-month periodontal examination data (Modified Gingival İndex (MGI), Modified plaque index (MPI), Bleeding on the probing index (BOP), Pocket depth (PD), Gingival Recession (GR) and Gingival Biotype (GB)) were analyzed.

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Modified Gingival İndex (MGI)baseline, 3rd-month, 6th-month and 9th-monthIn order to determine the degree of inflammation in the surrounding soft tissue of the implants, mGI score is obtained from four regions: mesial, distal, buccal and palatal. The mGI score for each implant is determined by adding the values and dividing by 4. Scoring is done as follows; 0: No bleeding when probing around the implant with a periodontal probe l: There is a point isolated bleeding on probing. 2: On probing, there is bleeding forming a red line along the mucosal margin. 3: There is intense bleeding on probing.
Modified plaque index (MPI)baseline, 3rd-month, 6th-month and 9th-monthThis index, which is used to determine the surface cleanliness of implants, is measured from 4 regions of the implants: mesial, distal, buccal and palatal, taking into account the following criteria. The mPI score for each implant is determined by adding the obtained values and dividing by 4. Scoring is done as follows; 0: No record. l: Presence of plaque in the implant sulcus that can be detected with the probe tip. If there is a roughened implant surface in this area, at least 1 value is given. 2: Presence of visible plaque. 3: Presence of soft attachment on the implant surface c. Bleeding on Probing Index (BOP) Approximately 20 seconds after moving the periodontal probe inside the periodontal pocket, it is evaluated whether there is bleeding. If there is bleeding, the score of that area is recorded as (+), otherwise it is recorded as (-).
