Summary

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.
