Treatment of Peri-implant Mucositis by Application of a Spermidine-based Gel
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).

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.

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
