Dental Hygiene and Peri-Implant Tissues Homeostasis Ancillary Study

June 30, 2023 updated by: Giorgios Kotsakis, University of Washington

The Role of Dental Hygiene Procedures in Disruption of Healthy Homeostasis in Tissues Surrounding Dental Implants - Phase I (Ancillary Study)

Peri-implantitis is an inflammatory disease that leads to loss of jawbone around dental implants. Recent discoveries have identified increased release of Titanium (Ti) particles around implants as being associated to peri-implantitis. In this ancillary study to the Dental Hygiene and Peri-Implant Tissues Homeostasis trial the objective is to determine potential triggers of increased Ti dissolution from the implant surface and the mechanisms by which Ti dissolution products amplify peri-implant inflammation. Results from this study will determine whether there is a differential response to Ti particles across individuals, which may alter susceptibility to peri-implantitis.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Titanium Dissolution
Time Frame: 12 weeks +/- 4 weeks
The primary outcome of the clinical trial will be titanium dissolution in periimplant plaque following treatment quantified using inductively coupled mass spectrometry (ICMS)
