Study summary

A full understanding of etiology and diagnosis of peri-implant diseases is crucial for finding effective treatments for these diseases that are more widely accessible to dentists. Several treatment protocols for peri-implant diseases have been proposed, but no gold standard has been established to date. Thus, the purpose of this study is to analyze efficacy of stabilized chlorine dioxide as a chemical adjuvant for treatment of peri-implant mucositis in a non-surgical treatment protocol with a 3-month follow-up.

Read the detailed description

Fifty individuals with peri-implant mucositis will be identified to participate in this study and randomized into two groups to analyze clinical parameters and results of this study: 1) test group (stabilized chlorine dioxide rinse) and 2) control group (placebo). Each group will be associated with periodontal basic therapy.

Treatment Protocol After inclusion of the patients, medical history and initial examination are performed, patients will be randomly divided into the following two groups: 1) test (stabilized chlorine dioxide rinse associated with periodontal basic therapy); and 2) control (placebo associated with periodontal basic therapy).

Periodontal basic therapy will consist of oral hygiene instruction, motivation, retentive factor removal, and an adaptation of the protocol of full-mouth scaling and root planing (stabilized chlorine dioxide mouthwash will be used). Plastic currets are used to instrument the implants and metal currets to instrument teeth. Immediately after instrumentation, chemical solutions of chlorine dioxide or placebo will be dispensed to the subjects.

The subjects will follow their normal oral-hygiene procedures with the addition of using the study rinse toothbrush and toothpaste provided to them.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

HbA1c

A blood test of average blood sugar over the past two to three months, given as a percentage or in mmol/mol. 6.5% (48 mmol/mol) or more is the usual threshold for diabetes, normally confirmed by a second test.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Global Probing Depth

    The distance measured from the base of the pocket to the most apical point on the gingival margin. Measured in mms. Over 3 mm indicates a need for periodontal therapy. Higher results mean a worse outcome.

    Time frame: 90 days

  2. Global Plaque Score.

    The plaque index assesses the amount of dental plaque visible on the vestibular and lingual surfaces of all teeth, except the third molars. The index is calculated by dividing the number of plaque-containing surfaces by the total number of available surfaces. Values range from 0-18 with 0 being excellent and 18 poor. Higher numbers mean a worse outcome.

    Time frame: 90 days

  3. Modified Gingival Index (MGI)

    The MGI relies on a visual assessment of gingival changes to measure the severity of inflammation. Five categories, using a 0-4 scale, score the marginal and papillary gingival tissue based on color, texture, edema, and spontaneous bleeding. 0 being normal and 4 being severe inflammation characterized by edema, redness, swelling, and spontaneous bleeding. The higher scores mean a worse outcome.

    Time frame: 90 days

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Apr 14, 2022, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
