Inclusion criteria: to be 40 to 60 years old; to smoke at least 20 cigarrets a day; to have at least 20 teeth; to present more than 20 % of sites with clinical attachment loss greater than 6 mm and probing pocket depth greater than 5 mm, bleeding on probing. The affected teeth should present more than 30 % of alveolar bone loss; to have lost one or two teeth which need to be replaced by implant supported protheses; to read and sign an informed consent to this study protocol.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: need of antibiotic prophylaxis for surgical procedures; history of antibiotics or periodontal therapy in the last six months; use of long term antiinflammatory drugs; history of cronic diseases which could interfere with the course of periodontal diseases, including diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, immunodeficiencies; pregnancy or nursing; need of alveolar bone regeneration.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Greater prevalence of biological complications around dental implants in the control group compared to the test group, measured by the probing pocket depth followed by bleeding upoon probing. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Difference in the individuals' microbiological profile which could be corretalated with a greater prevalence of peri implant biological complications in the control group compared to the test group. | — |
