Summary
This study tested different combinations of antiseptic rinses and air-polishing powders to clean infected dental implants without surgery. Sixty-four adults with peri-implantitis received one of three treatments over a month. Researchers measured changes in pocket depth and bleeding to find the most effective approach for preserving implant health.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Miramistin, chlorhexidine, Octenisept (antiseptic solutions); sodium bicarbonate, erythritol, glycine (air-polishing powders)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could identify a simple, non-surgical cleaning method to manage peri-implantitis and preserve dental implants.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed study with only 64 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The treatments are for disease control, not a cure, and long-term effectiveness is unknown.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Age between 21 and 75 years * Presence of at least one dental implant * Diagnosis of peri-implantitis defined as probing depth ≥ 6 mm and radiographic bone loss ≥ 3 mm apical to the most coronal portion of the intraosseous part of the implant * Ability to attend follow-up appointments for up to 3 months * Willingness to participate and provide written informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * Presence of systemic diseases in a decompensated stage (e.g., uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, severe cardiovascular disease, psychotic disorders, active oncological disease) * Current or prior use of immunosuppressive drugs, bisphosphonates, high-dose corticosteroids, antipsychotics, or other medications known to negatively affect peri-implant tissue regeneration and healing * Pregnancy or lactation * Unwillingness or inability to comply with study procedures * Peri-implantitis requiring immediate surgical intervention or implant removal at baseline
