About

This a Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial comparing two techniques for the nonsurgical treatment of peri-implant mucositis. The main objective of the present randomized controlled clinical trial is to determine whether the application of a novel treatment strategy for peri-implant mucositis could lead to significantly improved clinical parameters as compared to standard treatment. Half of the patients receives treatment with manual instruments and chlorhexidine gel 1%, half receives treatment with submucosal biofilm removal by erythritol powder.
