Summary

This study tested three non-surgical methods to treat peri-implantitis, a gum infection around dental implants. Thirty-eight adults with deep gum pockets (6 mm or more) received either manual cleaning with titanium tools, an air abrasion device, or both. Researchers measured gum pocket depth, bleeding, and bone-related markers in gum fluid at 3 and 6 months to see which approach worked best.
