Official title
Effect of Water Flossing on Gingival Inflammation Around Single Implants: Randomized Clinical Trial
Overview
This study aims to evaluate the effect of water floss in reversing peri- implant mucositis around dental implants
Detailed description
Patients will be assigned for two clinical appointments, the first visit is for baseline charting, probing depth will be recorded on six sites per implant, using a standardized periodontal probe and the presence or absence of bleeding will be recorded. Disclosing tablets will be utilized to
Confirm the presence or absence of plaque around teeth and the implant. Patients (Group A) will be given a water floss, with verbal and written instructions to use the water floss, twice daily for 2 minutes, along with brushing, while Group B will be instructed to brush with a manual brush alone, twice daily for 2 minutes. After two weeks, in the second visit, the implant site is re-evaluated to monitor the outcomes.
Interventions
- Device Water flosser
Water irrigation device - Device Tooth brush and string floss
The control group will use the toothbrush and the regular string floss.
Primary outcome measures
- Bleeding on Probing [Time frame: 2 and 4 weeks]
- Plaque Index of Silness and Loe [Time frame: 4 weeks]
Secondary outcome measures (1)
- Probing Pocket Depths (PPD) [Time frame: 4 weeks]
