Book Combining Various Non surgical Techniques for Treating Peri implantitis  a Randomized Clinical Trial

Download or read book Combining Various Non surgical Techniques for Treating Peri implantitis a Randomized Clinical Trial written by Marc Quirynen and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Non-surgical treatment of peri-implantitis is targeted at mechanical and/or chemical disinfection of the implant and its suprastructures, to allow inflamed peri-implant tissues to heal. Many different surgical and non-surgical techniques for the treatment of peri-implantitis have been investigated, with varying results. However, a combination of various non-surgical techniques in a single treatment session in a full-mouth disinfection protocol has not been investigated yet.Aim: To determine if a combination of various non-surgical techniques in a single treatment session, comprised of using hand curettes and carbon-tipped ultrasonic, air-abrasion, and Er:YAG-laser therapy in a full-mouth disinfection protocol, leads to short-term resolution of peri-implantitis.Materials and methods: 27 patients with one or more dental implants with clinical and radiographic signs of peri-implantitis were randomly allocated to 2 groups. The test group (11 patients, 31 implants) received debridement of the affected implants, using hand curettes, carbon-tipped ultrasonics, air-abrasion with glycine powder and Er:YAG-laser irradiation. Additionally, full-mouth disinfection was performed on all teeth with pockets >4 millimetres. The control group (16 patients, 30 implants) received debridement of the implants by hand curettes only. This group did not undergo a full-mouth disinfection. For both groups, all treatments were performed in a single session. Bleeding on probing (BoP) scores, peri-implant probing depths (PPD), clinical attachment levels (CAL), interproximal bone levels (BL) and full-mouth plaque scores (FMPS) were recorded at intake and at 3 and 6 months after treatment.Results: The test group showed statistically significantly more reduction in bleeding on probing scores at the 3 and 6 months of follow-up despite of an increase of scores in the test group in between 3 and 6 months after treatment. Both groups showed a statistically significant decrease in PPD after 3 months (p= 0.009 and p= 0.0008 for the control and test groups, respectively). The difference in decrease between both groups was statistically significant in favour of the test group (p= 0.0001). At 6 months an increase in PPD was observed for both groups. The difference at 6 months was no longer statistically significant. Changes in bone level from intake to 3 months and 6 months after treatment were not statistically significant. Conclusions: A more thorough debridement protocol can result in greater resolution of inflammation in the peri-implant tissues and the effects can be sustained up to 6 months after treatment. Clinically this implicates that a more comprehensive mechanical and/or chemical disinfection protocol is beneficial for the treatment of implants affected by peri-Implantitis.

Book A Non surgical Treatment of Peri implantitis Using Mechanic  Antiseptic and Anti inflammatory Treatment  1 Year Follow Up

Download or read book A Non surgical Treatment of Peri implantitis Using Mechanic Antiseptic and Anti inflammatory Treatment 1 Year Follow Up written by Ofir Ginesin and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BackgroundPeri-implantitis is major concern in the current implantology with growing incidence. Surgical intervention includes resective surgery, open flap debridement or bone augmentation, all with chance of complications and morbidity. Surgical treatment outcomes are controversial in current literature. Non-surgical intervention includes debridement of soft tissue with various materials and instrumentations and slow release devices. Non-surgical treatment exhibit limited success and predictability.Methods and MaterialsTo assess the clinical outcome six and twelve months after a non-surgical treatment of peri-implantitis per se or conjunction with combination of local antiseptic and anti-inflammatory treatment.Sixty-eight patients with periodontitis (grade 1-3, and stage A-B) with a total of 102 implants with peri-implantitis were included. Peri-implantitis was defined as radiographic bone loss more or equal to 3 mm, probing depth (PD) more or equal to 6 mm with bleeding on probing (BOP). Treatment of implants was performed with ultrasonic debridement, soft tissue curettage (group MEC), or addition (group MEC+LPA) of implant's surface treatment with rotatory hand piece composed of chitosan bristle, soft tissue curettage combined with application of 0.95% hypochlorite and amino acid and at the end application of 1mg minocycline HCl.ResultsAfter 6 months both groups (MEC and MEC+LPA) demonstrated significant reductions (P

This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BackgroundDespite the significant body of evidence that shows importance of keratinized tissue in maintaining peri-implant health, there is not enough data regarding the role of soft tissue quantity and quality in the treatment of periimplantitis. Aim/HypothesisThe hypothesis of the study is that the collagen matrix of porcine origin is associated with lower patient morbidity, in comparison with autologous soft tissue graft, when used for the augmentation of the keratinized tissues simultaneously with the surgical treatment of peri-implantitisMaterials and MethodsA two-centre randomized controlled clinical trial was designed to test a study hypothesis. A sample of 40 patients was recruited basing upon the diagnosis of peri-implantitis and absent or insufficient peri-implant mucosa. 1 month after the non-surgical treatment, surgical procedure was performed.Peri-implant clinical and radiographic parameters, as well as patient perception of the therapy provided, will be evaluated before and at various stages (up to 26 weeks) after the surgical intervention. Also, change of vestibulum depth was analyzed, as well as the time spent for the procedure measured.Conclusions and clinical implicationsSuggested surgical modality resulted in the improvement of clinical parameters of peri-implant tissues at 6 months after the intervention. Both free gingival graft and collagen matrix provided increase of the peri-implant keratinized mucosa and vestibulum depth. Patients treated with the collagen matrix, reported lower difficulty of the surgical procedure and lower intrasurgical pain. However, longer follow-up is required to assess the stability of clinical parameters of peri-implant health.

Book Clinical Outcomes Following Treatment of Peri implantitis at Formerly Grafted and Non grafted Implant Sites

Download or read book Clinical Outcomes Following Treatment of Peri implantitis at Formerly Grafted and Non grafted Implant Sites written by Ramanauskaite Ausra and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clinical outcomes following treatment of peri-implantitis at formerly graftet implant sites.Ramanauskaite A, Becker K, and Schwarz FDepartment of Oral Surgery, Heinrich Heine University, Du00fcsseldorf, GermanyThe aim: This retrospective analysis aimed at comparing the clinical outcomes following nonsurgical and surgical therapy of peri-implantitis at formerly grafted and non-grafted (i.e. pristine) implant sites.M&M: A total of 29 patients with established peri-implantitis (i.e. 27 implants placed at grafted and 19 implants at non-grafted sites) were included. Each subject had received either nonsurgical (i.e. mechanical, Er:YAG laser or photodynamic therapy (PDT)) (grafted sites: 13 implants, non-grafted sites: 4 implants) or combined (i.e. implantoplasty +/- augmentative therapy) surgical (grafted sites: 14 implants, non-grafted sites: 15 implants) treatment procedures at respective implants. A chi - squared test was used to assess whether the initial grafting procedure did affect the treatment outcomes (i.e. disease resolution, bleeding on probing u2013 BOP, probing pocket depths - PD). The mean follow-up period was 176.75u00b1135 weeks.Results: At the patient level, disease resolution (i.e. absence of BOP and PDu22656 mm) following nonsurgical and surgical treatment was obtained in 6/9 (67%) and 5/9 (56%) at grafted and in 2/2 (100%) and 7/12 (58%) at non-grafted sites respectively (p=0.673). BOP reductions following nonsurgical and surgical treatment amounted to 40.09u00b152.02% and 59.19u00b145.68% at grafted and 52.83u00b14.0% and 68.08u00b135.82% at non-grafted sites (p=0.575). PD reductions following nonsurgical and surgical treatment amounted to 1.24u00b12.08 mm and 0.90u00b11.47 mm at grafted and 0.33u00b12.36 mm and 2.0u00b13.14 mm at non-grafted sites (p=0.728). Conclusions: The effectiveness of nonsurgical and surgical treatment of peri-implantitis was comparable at both formerly grafted and non-grafted implant sites.
