Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To longitudinally assess the periodontal and peri-implant conditions, including the microbiological and immunological profile of individuals participating in periodontal and peri-implant maintenance therapy, who were allocated into two oral hygiene groups. The first group uses a manual toothbrush, dental floss and interdental brushes, while the second group uses these same instruments by adding an oral irrigator as an adjuvant. The evaluation parameters include periodontal and peri-implant probing depth, bleeding levels on probing, plaque indices, and the presence of specific pathogens. Microbiological and saliva samples will be analyzed by real-time polymerase chain reaction, q-PCR, for quantification of bacterial species and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, ELISA, for measurement of inflammatory and immunological markers, such as C-reactive protein and cytokines | — |
