Brief summary
This study aims to evaluate the effect of water floss in reversing peri- implant mucositis around dental implants
Detailed description
Patients will be assigned for two clinical appointments, the first visit is for baseline charting, probing depth will be recorded on six sites per implant, using a standardized periodontal probe and the presence or absence of bleeding will be recorded. Disclosing tablets will be utilized to Confirm the presence or absence of plaque around teeth and the implant. Patients (Group A) will be given a water floss, with verbal and written instructions to use the water floss, twice daily for 2 minutes, along with brushing, while Group B will be instructed to brush with a manual brush alone, twice daily for 2 minutes. After two weeks, in the second visit, the implant site is re-evaluated to monitor the outcomes.
Interventions
DEVICEWater flosser
Water irrigation device

Intervention model description
Two groups of implant patients will be randomly allocated to one of 2 interventions; one group will brush only. The other group will brush and use the water flosser around the implant with mucositis.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Bleeding on Probing | 2 and 4 weeks | The disappearance of bleeding upon probing with the University of North Carolina-15 mm (UNC-15) periodontal probe. It is done at the same time as probing the pocket depths. It is done at six sites per implant-presence of bleeding = 1, absence = 0 -at each site. |
| Plaque Index of Silness and Loe | 4 weeks | Score Description 0 No plaque 1 A thin film of plaque adhering to the free gingival margin and adjacent area of the implant; not visible to the naked eye but detectable by probe 2 Moderate accumulation of soft deposits visible to the naked eye within the gingival pocket and/or on the implant and gingival margin \| 3 Abundant soft matter within the gingival pocket and/or on the implant and gingival margin \| |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Probing Pocket Depths (PPD) | 4 weeks | The PPD will be recorded at baseline visit using the UNC-15 periodontal probe, at 2 weeks, and at 4 weeks. Pocket depths around implants should usually be around 1-4 mm. Pockets that are deeper than 4 mm or are 4 mm or less but with bleeding will be recorded as abnormal. |
