Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the potential of the combination of a sodium hypochlorite-based gel and a hyaluronic acid-based gel as an adjuvant to Non-Surgical Mechanical Debridement (NSMD) in the treatment of mucositis, after 6 months of follow-up. After a meticulous selection, patients will be randomly assigned to Test (Sodium Hypochlorite-based gel + NSMD + Hyaluronic Acid-based gel ) or Control (NSMD) group. All clinical parameters will be recorded and the final evaluation will be performed.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the clinical results of the combination of a sodium hypochlorite-based gel (NaOCl gel) and a cross-linked hyaluronic acid-based gel (HA gel) as an adjuvant to Non-Surgical Mechanical Debridement (NSMD) in the treatment of mucositis, after 6 months of follow-up (Clean \& Seal concept). Following the selection through inclusion and exclusion criteria, all patients will be randomly assigned to Test NaOCl-based gel + NSMD + HA-based gel) or Control (NSMD) group.

Patients will be recruited at Department of Periodontology (Univeristy of Naples "Federico II") and at Department of Periodontology (University of Budapest "Semmelweis").

Subsequently, after recording of the clinical parameters (BoP, FMPS, FMBS, PD), in the Test group a NaOCl-based gel will initially be applied in the peri-implant sulcus for 30 seconds, without the need for flushing. Furthermore, mechanical therapy (NSMD) will be performed by means of an ultrasonic scaler with a plastic tip. Finally, HA-based gel will be applied in the peri-implant sulcus by means of a blunt-tipped needle. Conversely, Control group will be treated only through the NSMD.

All clinical parameters (BoP, FMPS, FMBS, PD) will be recorded again after 6 months for the final evaluation. Data analysis will be performed using statistical software.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

The study will be designed as a double-arm randomized controlled clinical trial. Mucositis will be treated with NaOCl-based gel + NSMD + HA-based gel in Test group and with NSMD alone in Control group. All clinical parameters will be recorded and the final evaluation will be performed.
Primary Study Purpose

TREATMENT

Blinding Strategy

SINGLE

Participants
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

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

NaOCl + HA Group

A NaOCl-based gel will initially be applied in the peri-implant sulcus for 30 seconds, without the need for flushing. Furthermore, mechanical therapy (NSMD) will be performed by means of an ultrasonic scaler with a plastic tip. Finally, the HA-based gel will be applied in the peri-implant sulcus by means of a blunt-tipped needle.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Application NaOCl gel + HA gel

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

First step: application of NaOCl gel Second step: NSMD Third step: application of HA gel

NSMD Group

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