Eligibility criteria
Inclusion
Adult individuals between 18 and 80 years of age who require the explantation of at least one titanium or titanium alloy implant due to severe peri-implantitis (\> 50% bone loss and signs of inflammation);
Individuals who did not undergo surgical or non-surgical peri-implant therapy in the previous 6 months.
Exclusion
Acute infection associated with adjacent teeth;
Any technical complication that does not allow implant removal using a reverse torque device;
Active infectious diseases of any kind;
Medical conditions which requires premedication prior to dental treatments/visits;
Pregnant women or planning to become pregnant (self-reported);
History of radiotherapy in the head and neck or chemotherapy in the last 3 years;
Any other diseases or medications that may contraindicate the surgical procedure or compromise wound healing.
What this trial measures
- Percentage of clean implant surface area following implant decontamination approachesRight after decontamination and implant removal (T0)
The cleaned surface area will be planimetrically recorded, and the percentage presence/absence of mineralized deposits as well as scratches on the decontaminated implant surfaces will be determined with the aid of a stereomicroscope.
