Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
A randomized clinical trial will be conducted on the patient. Patients will be randomly divided into two groups:
* Erythritol group: erythritol with a particle size of \~14 µm will be used for 5 seconds (AIRFLOW® PLUS EMS)
* Ultrasonic scaler group: a piezoelectric handpiece with peek inserts (Mini Piezon EMS; PI EMS) will be used.
Different subgroups will be defined according to the material of the dental crown of the related implant.
The oral hygiene session will be carried out every 6 months (2-years follow-up; 6 sessions), after instruction and motivation of the patient, completion of the clinical chart with the recording of the Probing Depth (evaluation in mm of the peri-implant sulcus taken by a periodontal probe; 4 surfaces of the gingival margin are detected: vestibular, palatal/lingual, mesial, distal), Bleeding on Probing and Plaque Index.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
A randomized clinical trial will be conducted on the patient. Patients will be randomly divided into two groups:
* Erythritol group: erythritol with a particle size of \~14 µm will be used for 5 seconds (AIRFLOW® PLUS EMS)
* Ultrasonic scaler group: a piezoelectric handpiece with peek inserts (Mini Piezon EMS; PI EMS) will be used.
Different subgroups will be defined according to the material of the dental crown of the related implant: feldspathic ceramic, zirconia and lithium disilicate.
The oral hygiene session will be carried out every 6 months (2-years follow-up; 6 sessions), after instruction and motivation of the patient, completion of the clinical chart with the recording of the Probing Depth (evaluation in mm of the peri-implant sulcus taken by a periodontal probe; 4 surfaces of the gingival margin are detected: vestibular, palatal/lingual, mesial, distal), Bleeding on Probing and Plaque Index.
