Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to evaluate the potential of a spermidine-based topical gel as an adjuvant to non-surgical treatment of peri-implant mucositis. After a meticulous selection, patients will be randomly assigned to Test (spermidine gel + non-surgical debridement) or Control group (non-surgical debridement).

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Procedure: Spermidine gel
  • Procedure: NSMD
N/A

Detailed Description

Following the recording of the clinical parameters (BoP, FMPS, FMBS, PD), mechanical therapy (NSMD) will be performed in the Test group (spermidine gel) by means of an ultrasonic scaler with a plastic tip. Finally, the spermidine-based gel will be applied in the peri-implant sulcus using a blunt-tipped needle. Control group will instead be treated only through the NSMD.

Finally, after 3 months the clinical parameters (BoP, FMPS, FMBS, PD) will be recorded again and the final evaluation will be performed. Data analysis will be performed using statistical software.

Study Design

Study Type:
Interventional
Anticipated Enrollment :
20 participants
Allocation:
Randomized
Intervention Model:
Parallel Assignment
Intervention Model Description:
The study will be designed as a double-arm randomized controlled clinical trial. Mucositis will be treated with spermidine gel + non-surgical debridement (NSMD) in Test group and with NSMD alone in Control group. All clinical parameters will be recorded at baseline and after 3 months.The study will be designed as a double-arm randomized controlled clinical trial. Mucositis will be treated with spermidine gel + non-surgical debridement (NSMD) in Test group and with NSMD alone in Control group. All clinical parameters will be recorded at baseline and after 3 months.
Masking:
Single (Participant)
Masking Description:
Only patients will be unaware of the type of treatment performed, with prior written informed consent. So, they will be divided in the two groups of study after a process of randomization

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Spermidine Group

Mechanical therapy (NSMD) will be performed by means of an ultrasonic scaler with a plastic tip. Finally, the spermidine-based gel will be applied in the peri-implant sulcus using a blunt-tipped needle.

Procedure: Spermidine gel
First step: Non-surgical mechanical debridement (NSMD) Second step: application of spermidine gel

Active Comparator: NSMD Group

Control group will be treated only through a non-surgical mechanical therapy with curettes or scaler peek tips.

Procedure: NSMD
Only mechanical debridement with curettes and scaler peek tips

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Change of BoP (+/-) [baseline, 3 months after periodontal therapy]

    Bleeding on periodontal probing

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Change of Full-mouth Plaque Score (FMPS; %) [baseline, 3 months after periodontal therapy]

    Percentage of all sites exhibiting plaque

  2. Change of Full-mouth Bleeding Score (FMBS; %) [baseline, 3 months after periodontal therapy]

    Percentage of all sites exhibiting bleeding

  3. Change of Probing Depth (PD; millimeters) [baseline, 3 months after periodontal therapy]

    Distance from the gingival margin to the bottom of the peri-implant pocket
