Trial summary

The aim of the present study is to evaluate the adjunctive effect of glycine-powder air-polishing (GPAP) to full-mouth ultrasonic debridement (Fm-UD) in the treatment of peri-implant mucositis, and to determine the predictive role of implant and patient-level variables for disease resolution.

About this study

Official title: Treatment of Peri-implant Mucositis: Adjunctive Benefit of Glycine Powder Air Polishing Device to Professional Mechanical Biofilm Removal. A Randomized Parallel Arm Clinical Study

The aim of the present study is to evaluate the adjunctive effect of glycine-powder air-polishing (GPAP) to full-mouth ultrasonic debridement (Fm-UD) in the treatment of peri-implant mucositis, and to determine the predictive role of implant and patient-level variables for disease resolution. Both treatments are described in the literature, but few studies are available on their comparison.

Read the detailed description

52 patients (132 implants) with peri-implant mucositis were included in this randomized parallel arm clinical study. Following baseline variables assessment, participants received Fm-UD. Implants allocated to the test group (n=64) were additionally treated with GPAP. Clinical outcomes were evaluated at 3 and 12 months following intervention. Complete and partial disease resolution were defined as absence of BoP (DR1) or <2 BoP+ sites (DR2), respectively.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Glycine powder air polishingDevice

    Peri-implant mucositis sites treated with a glycine powder air polishing device (Air-Flow Master Piezon®).

  • Full mouth ultrasonic debridementDevice

    Peri-implant mucositis sites are treated with thin ultrasonic tips.

Study groups in NCT05801315
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Full mouth ultrasonic debridement plus glycine powder air polishingExperimentalPlaque and calculus are firstly removed through full mouth ultrasonic debridement (FMUD) in all sites (both dental and implant). After this procedure an air polishing device (Air-flow Master Piezon®) is used as additional therapy to further debride peri-implant trans-mucosal tract.

Receives: Device: Full mouth ultrasonic debridement

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Bleeding on probing

    After probing dental and implant sites a dichotomic value (0/1) is assigned for each site. 0: not bleeding site; 1: bleeding site.

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Probing pocket depth change

    Change in probing pocket depth measured in millimeter through a periodontal probe.

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Glycine powder air polishing and Full mouth ultrasonic debridement in people with Peri-implant Mucositis, run by University of Siena at 1 site in Italy.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Jul 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Italy. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Bleeding on probing (time frame: 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05801315, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Jul 2023.
