Summary

This study will compare 2 methods to clean contaminated implant surfaces: air-polishing device versus titanium curette. Both of these methods will be used in the non-surgical and surgical setting, followed by implant removal. Then, in-vitro analysis to assess the efficacy of surface decontamination will be performed.

Conditions

  • Peri-Implantitis
  • Dental Implant Failed

Interventions

PROCEDURE

implant decontamination with titanium curette

Titanium curettes (Hu-Friedy, Chicago, Illinois, USA) will be used for supra and submucosal around the implant, with and without flap elevation.

DEVICE

implant decontamination with Air-Flow device

Air-polishing (Airflow Prophylaxis Master, EMS, Nyon, Switzerland) will be carried out with AIR-FLOW powder PLUS (EMS) containing erythritol (sugar alcohol, 14 μm), amorphous silica and 0.3% chlorhexidine to decontaminate implants with and without flap elevation. The device will be adjusted to a power setting of 5 bar static pressure and a maximum level of irrigation with water.
