Patient Perception and Clinical Efficacy of a Collagen Matrix for the Treatment of Peri-implantitis

Patient Perception and Clinical Efficacy of Geistlich Mucograft® vs. Autologous Connective Tissue Graft for the Treatment of Peri-implantitis: Multi-centre Randomized Clinical Trial

This is a multi-centre, randomized clinical trial which evaluates the efficiency of the collagen xenograft (Muco-Graft®) in comparison to the autologous connective tissue graft for the augmentation of keratinized mucosa and gaining hygienic access to the implants diagnosed with peri-implantitis.

Study Overview

• Status: Unknown
• Conditions: Peri-Implantitis
• Intervention / Treatment: Other: Acellular collagen matrix; Other: Autogenous free gingival graft

Detailed Description

Nowadays, there is not enough evidence that evaluates the patient's perception of utilizing the soft tissue substitutes in comparison to the autologous connective tissue graft for the augmentation of the keratinized mucosa and gain of hygienic access to the implants with infectious pathology and with minimum or absent keratinized mucosa.

Therefore, the aim of the study is to evaluate the change of clinical parameters of peri-implant health and the patient perception of the procedure for augmentation of the keratinized tissues around dental implants with peri-implantitis.

The hypothesis is that collagen matrix of porcine origin is associated with lower patient morbidity, in comparison with autologous connective-tissue graft, when used for the augmentation of the keratinized tissues around endosseous dental implants with infectious pathology and with minimum or absent KT mucosa.

A sample 48 patients will be recruited basing upon the diagnosis of peri-implantitis and absent or insufficient peri- implant mucosa. 1 month after the non-surgical treatment, surgical procedure will be performed.

Peri-implant clinical and radiographic parameters, as well as patient perception of the therapy provided, will be evaluated before and at various stages (up to 52 weeks) after the surgical intervention. Also, change of vestibulum depth will be analyzed, as well as the time spent for the procedure measured.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
EXPERIMENTAL: Acellular collagen matrix; In a test group, partial thickness-flap will be elevation will be performed, in order to create the vascular recipient bed for the randomized graft. Implant surface will be treated with ultrasound device, glycine powder and implantoplasty in case of the exposure of the rough surface. Acellular collagen matrix will be adapted and suture to the vascular bed.	Other: Acellular collagen matrix; 3D collagen matrix consists of the collagen porcine type I and III
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: Autogenous free gingival graft; In a control group, partial thickness-flap will be elevation will be performed, in order to create the vascular recipient bed for the randomized graft. Implant surface will be treated with ultrasound device, glycine powder and implantoplasty in case of the exposure of the rough surface. Free gingival graft will be harvested from the zone of the posterior palate, and then adapted and sutured to the vascular bed.	Other: Autogenous free gingival graft; Autogenous graft harvested from the posterior palate

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Change in width of keratinized peri-implant mucosa	Measured by periodontal probe (UNC-15), as mm of keratinized mucosa in the midbuccal portion of the implant of interest	Baseline, 0, 1, 2, 4, 12, 26 and 52 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Bleeding on probing	Measured as presence or absence (binary value) of bleeding 10 seconds after probing with the periodontal probe in 6 point around each implant	Baseline, 0, 1, 2, 4, 12, 26 and 52 weeks
Probing depth	Measured by periodontal probe (UNC-15) in millimeters in 6 points around each implant, and defined as a distance from the mucosal margin to the bottom of the peri-implant pocket	Baseline, 0, 1, 2, 4, 12, 26 and 52 weeks
Recession	Measured by periodontal probe (UNC-15) in millimeters in 6 points around each implant, and defined as a distance from the implant platform to the mucosal margin	Baseline, 0, 1, 2, 4, 12, 26 and 52 weeks
General satisfaction by the treatment	Measured by a questionnaire, using the visual analogue scale, in values from 0 to 100	0, 1, 2, 4, 12, 26 and 52 weeks
Duration of surgery	Measured by the electronic timer in minutes, starting from the moment of first incision and ending with a last suture	after completion of surgical intervention
Vestibulum depth	Measured in mm by a periodontal probe, as a distance from the mucosal margin to the point of greatest concavity of the mucobuccal fold	Baseline, 0, 1, 2, 4, 12, 26 and 52 weeks
