Detailed Description
Study design:
This study was designed as a 12-month, two arms, RCT to evaluate the efficacy of a SPIC protocol. Thirty patients were randomized, six months after access-flap surgery, in two different SPIT groups. After ultrasonic debridement, the affected implant surfaces of the test group were treated with glycine powder air-polishing, while implants in the control group a rubber cup and polishing paste was used. Maintenance visits were carried every 3 months and clinical, radiological, microbiological and biochemical variables were registered at baseline (6 months after surgery) and after a follow-up period of 12 months (18 months after surgery).
Interventions:
At the 6-month evaluation after the surgery, the baseline data for the present study were obtained and patients were randomised using a computerized block randomization protocol to one of the following SPIC protocols. In the test group, implant surfaces were treated with glycine powder air-polishing after ultrasonic instrumentation; the specific nozzle was activated subgingivally and circumferentially around the implant for 1 minute. In the control group, implants were cleaned with a rubber cup and polishing paste after ultrasonic instrumentation. This SPIC visits were carried out at 6 (baseline visit), 9, 12, 15 and 18 months after surgery.

Description
Inclusion Criteria:
- Presence of at least one implant with peri-implantitis, defined as: radiographic evidence of bone loss >2 mm, inflammation of the peri-implant mucosa as defined by positive BoP and/or suppuration, and at least one site with PD ≥ 5 mm.
- Based on the radiographic examination, the affected implant should not have a vertical peri-implant defect. Positive selection was based on the presence of pe-ri-implant lesions wider than 4 mm, with an angle greater than 35 º.
- In patients with a history of periodontitis, periodontal therapy should have been provided at least 6 months prior to the initiation of the study.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Presence of relevant medical conditions and/or systemic medications that would contraindicate the surgical procedure or modify the tissue response after therapy.
- Patients requiring antibiotic prophylaxis.
- Heavy smokers (> 10 cigarettes/day).
- Pregnant or lactating women

Experimental: Glycine - Test
Polishing treatment with glycine powder air-polishing after ultrasonic plaque debridement.
|
Every 3 months, ultrasonic instrumentation was carried out with an specific implant tip coated with Polyether Ether Ketone (PEEK), activated subgingivally and circumferentially around the implant.
Then, the implants were treated with glycine powder air-polishing.

Samples taken from the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) were taken from each included implant from the deepest PD site with positive BoP, at baseline and at the final evaluation, always prior to microbiological sampling.
Samples were taken using the filter paper technique.
After isolation of the area with cotton rolls and gentle cleaning with air and a gauze to remove supragingival biofilm deposits and potential saliva contamination, a paper strip of standard length and height was inserted into the peri-implant pocket, until mild resistance was felt and left in place for 30 seconds.
The soaked volume of GCF was measured using the Periotron 8000® device.
Subsequently, the paper strips were inserted in micro-centrifuge plastic tubes and immediately stored at -80°C until further processing.
Analyses were carried out using a Luminex System (Luminex® 200, Luminex Corporation, Austin, TX, USA) to determine volume of the following biomarkers: IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α.

Presence of putative periodontal pathogens
Time Frame: Baseline, 6 and 18 months after the surgical procedure

Sample from the deepest site in the evaluated implant using two consecutive sterile paper-points kept in place for 10 seconds and then transferred into a screw-capped vial, containing 1.5 mL of reduced transport fluid (RTF).
Samples were transferred to the microbiological laboratory within 2 hours and homogenized by vortexing for 30 seconds and serially diluted in phosphate buffer saline (PBS).
Then, 0.1 mL of each dilution was plated manually on the specific medium Dentaid-1, for the detection of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, and incubated for 3 days in air with 5% CO2 at 37ºC.
Samples were also plated into a non-selective blood agar plate, supplemented with haemine (5 mg/l), menadione (1 mg/l) and 5% sterile horse blood, with 7-14 days of anaerobic incubation.
