| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected to find reduction in the plaque accumulation, measured by the plaque index, checking values lower than 20%.;Expected to find narrower peri-implant pockets, evaluated in mm with the aid of a periodontal probe, checking smaller values in the probing. ;Expected to find high patient satisfaction, observed in the questionnaires, checking for positive responses. | — |
