About

Aim: To compare the effect of manual and sonic-powered toothbrushing on biofilm control in patients with peri-implant mucositis.

Materials and methods: The study was completed with a total of 41 patients, 21 in the sonic tooth brushing group and 20 in the manual tooth brushing group. The patients' baseline, 3rd-month, 6th-month and 9th-month periodontal examination data (Modified Gingival İndex (MGI), Modified plaque index (MPI), Bleeding on the probing index (BOP), Pocket depth (PD), Gingival Recession (GR) and Gingival Biotype (GB)) were analyzed.

Enrollment: 41 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

1. Bleeding on probing around the implant
2. No bone loss around the implant in the radiograph
3. Having adequate keratinized gingiva around the implant
4. The presence of an implant prosthesis that was installed at least three months previously
5. No systemic disease
6. no smoke
7. No use of antibiotic medications within the previous three months

Exclusion criteria

1. Patients with missing data and who do not allow data use
2. Smoker
3. Data from pregnant and lactating patients
4. Pocket depth around the implant is ≥ 5
5. Patients with peri-implantitis (bone loss around the implant)
6. Patients with insufficient attached gingiva around the implant

Trial design
