In Vivo Biofilm Accumulation on Implants With 3 Different Surfaces

NCT06049121 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 10

Summary

A frequent sequela of peri-implantitis itself, but also of its surgery, is the exposure of the implant surface to the oral environment. This moderately-rough surface with threads, when exposed to the oral environment, is difficult to clean. Therefore, in cases where the implant surface is expected to remain exposed or to be in direct contact with the peri-implant mucosa, implantoplasty has been proposed to obtain a smoother surface. A smoother surface should allow more efficient plaque control. This in vivo study aims to evaluate potential differences in terms of plaque accumulation between 3 different implant surfaces.

Ten participants will wear the removable splint carrying 2 implants of each type of surface (i.e., turned, modified, and modified treated with implantoplasty) for 3 days and they will be asked to remove it to perform their (usual) oral hygiene and immerse the device in cold-tap water. On day 3, the removable splint will be collected for analysis. The area of biofilm covering the implants will be quantified with different methods.
