Summary

The present study aimed to investigate clinically the cleaning effectiveness of different treatment modalities, that is, oral irrigator or interdental brush usage addition to routine brushing and examine TGF-β1, IL-1β, t-PA, and PAI-1 levels in periimplant crevicular fluid of patients with periimplant mucositis. The null hypothesis was that oral irrigators would be effective compared to interdental brush in the oral care of individuals who use implant-supported protheses.

Detailed description

Detailed Description: Our aim was to evaluate efficacy of a manual tooth-brush with either interdental brush or oral irrigator in treatment of periimplant mucositis. Material and Method: Forty-five patients with periimplant mucositis having at least one implant (age range:45-60) were included in study. Study was planned as randomized, single-blind, parallel-design. Patients were divided into 3 equal groups; i)toothbrush+oral irrigator ii)toothbrush+interdental brush, iii)only toothbrush. After baseline examinations \[Silness-Löe plaque index(PI), Löe-Silness gingival index(GI), probing pocket depth(PPD), clinical attachment level(CAL), bleeding on probing(BOP)\], initial periodontal therapy was completed using full-mouth disinfection method. Periimplant crevicular fluid(PCF) were taken from patents to assess levels of interleukin-1beta(IL-1β), Transforming growth factor-beta(TGF- β), tissue-type plasminogen activator(t-PA), plasminogen activator inhibitor-1(PAI-1). Clinical records were repeated at 2, 4 and 12 weeks. The hypothesis of our study is that oral irrigators may be effective in oral care of individuals using an implant-supported prosthesis because of the ease of use.

Type	Name	Description
DIAGNOSTIC_TEST	Periimplant crevicular fluid (PICF) collection	Prior to PICF sampling, supragingival plaque was removed by sterile curets and, after air drying, the surfaces were isolated by cotton rolls. Filter paper strips (periopaper, proflow Inc., Amityville, New York, USA) were placed in sulcus for 30s. Care was taken not to avoid mechanical trauma and strips contaminated with blood or saliva were discarded. The absorbed PICF volume was estimated by a calibrated instrument (periotron 8000, proflow Inc., Amityville, NY, USA). Then, the strips were sealed into sterile tubes before freezing at -80⁰C. The readings were converted to an actual volume (µl) by reference to the standard curve.
