Trial summary

Peri-implantitis is defined as inflammation in the mucosa surrounding an oral implant with loss of supporting bone. The goals of peri-implantitis treatment are to resolve inflammation and to arrest the progression of disease. Read more about this study

About this study

Peri-implantitis is defined as inflammation in the mucosa surrounding an oral implant with loss of supporting bone. The goals of peri-implantitis treatment are to resolve inflammation and to arrest the progression of disease. It is important to systematically gather information on the effect of surgical peri-implant treatment and to assess different protocols regarding chair-side maintenance of peri-implant tissue after surgery

The aims of this clinical investigation are to evaluate the clinical, microbiological and radiographic outcomes of surgical treatment of peri-implantitis and to evaluate the efficacy of 2 supportive treatment protocols based on the use of titanium cyrettes or by the use of a flexible, biodegradable chitosan brush. Furthermore, to evaluate the impact of this therapy on selected biochemical markers associated with chronic inflammation and bone tissue destruction.

Read the detailed description

Little is known about the effect of chair-side maintenance of dental implants after peri-implantitits surgery. Traditionally, the maintenance has been performed by titanium curettes to remove microbiological deposits from the submucosal area.

The Labrida biodegradable brush is a novel debridement device intended for use on dental implants. The concept of using a biodegradable material is related to the suggested problems with leaving remnants on the treated implant surface which would be negative from a bone regenerative aspect. The use of a flexible brush relates to the access problems when treating dental implants both related to the threads as well as due to the prosthetic supra construction hindering access for debridement with regular instruments developed for teeth. The material used in the brush will be Chitosan which is a natural polysaccharide, chitosan (poly-N-acetyl glucosaminoglycan), which is a nontoxic and bioabsorbable (REK-approval 2012/791 polymer).

H0: It is possible to maintain peri-implant health after surgical peri-implantitis treatment. There is no short- or long term clinical or radiographical differences between patients surgically treated for peri-implantitis maintained by the use of titanium cyrettes or with the Labrida brush in chair-side supportive care

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Chitosan brush in people with Periimplantitis and Peri-implant Mucositis, run by University of Oslo.

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 11 inclusion and 0 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 29 Apr 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Inflammation control (time frame: 3 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 29 Apr 2021.
