About this trial
Patients included in the study will be recruited after arriving at the Faculty of Dentistry of the University of Zagreb. During the clinical examination, the patient's periodontal status (bleeding during probing, and the depth of the pockets around the implant) and a control x-ray will be taken to check bone loss. Saliva sampling will occur at 3-time points, when establishing the diagnosis of periimplantitis, before the start of therapy, and at the first control after treatment.

Trial population
•Patients who come for examination and treatment of the inflammatory process of a dental implant, peri-implantitis at School of dental medicine University in Zagreb. In order to confirm the diagnosis of peri-implantitis, the clinical criteria are as follows: • bleeding and/or suppuration during light probing; • probing depth of ≥ 3 mm; • loss of bone level ≥ 1 mm apical from the most coronary part of the intraosseous part of the implant.

Primary outcomes
Change in levels of salivary minerals with disease progression/regression
If it is shown that the minerals of bone metabolism change according to the direction of recovery, it is possible to use salivary minerals (calcium, magnesium and phosphates) as an aid in the prognosis of the course of recovery and reduce the time needed to make a decision on the type and intensity of therapy, as well as the loss itself and implant replacement
