Electrolytic cleaning is a promising treatment for dental implant decontamination, but this
mode of therapy has not yet been clinically tested as an adjunct to the non-surgical
treatment of periimplantitis.
A prospective clinical and radiographic case series study will be performed to evaluate the
clinical performance of the adjunctive use of electrolytic cleaning as an adjunct to a
non-surgical therapy protocol that includes curettage of the peri-implant soft tissue. This
is study is a proof of principle study, thus, a case series study is selected to start with.
If the results of this case series study are favourable, a future study with a clinical trial
design is then planned to do.
