About this trial
This is an interventional clinical study on the peri-implant treatment necessary to improve the clinical conditions surrounding dental implants registered with peri-implant inflammation. The focus of this double-armed, examiner blinded, controlled, randomized clinical trial is to examine the effect of short-term increased frequency of a Non-surgical protocol on implants diagnosed with peri-implantitis.
The study is a part of a project assessing the frequency of supportive peri-implant therapy. The current is on non-surgical treatment of peri-implantitis (inflammation and exposed implant surface). The other study is a RCT on treatment of peri-implant mucositis (inflammation and no attachment loss at the implants) and secondary prevention of peri-implant mucositis (REK 790097). Exposure of rough surface may dramatically change the frequency of maintenance needed to improve the inflammatory condition. Thus, a segregation between adequate and low bone level at the implant is necessary.
Subjects with more than one implant and both diagnoses, may be enrolled in both studies, following the frequency of treatment randomized in the peri-implant mucositis study

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Peri-implant inflammation
To assess the proportion of implants without signs of inflammation (eradication of disease). Inflammation is defined as Bleeding on Probing (BoP) and/or suppuration
Secondary outcomes
Improvement of inflammation severity
Bleeding index (BI) 3, 2, 1, 0 (Roos-Jansåker et al., 2007)
Other outcomes
Extent of inflammation
Number of inflamed sites at the implants (0-6)
Reduction of pocket probing depths
Pocket depths in mm
Buccal keratinized mucosa
Height of keratinized mucosa at the buccal aspect of the implant (in mm)
Progressive bone loss
Radiographic changes in bone level at the implant (in mm)
