Abstract
Peri-implantitis poses an imminent challenge to the field of implant dentistry. Considering the promising findings of sodium hypochlorite and periodontal lesions, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the clinical effects of sodium hypochlorite oral rinse on peri-implantitis lesions. Twelve peri-implantitis patients were instructed to rinse with 15 mL of a fresh solution of 0.25% sodium hypochlorite for 30 s twice a week for 3 months. At baseline and 3-month visits, probing depth and modified sulcular bleeding index were recorded at 6 points per lesion (mesiobuccal, buccal, distobuccal, mesiolingual, lingual, and distolingual). Individual and total bacterial loads of 18 pre-designated species of microorganisms were analyzed by real-time PCR methods. Probing depth decreased after the experiment, with an average difference of 1.1 mm and a standard deviation of 1.7 mm. The modified sulcular bleeding index decreased by a mean value of 0.8 with a standard deviation of 1.1. This study demonstrated the clinical effects of sodium hypochlorite oral rinse on peri-implantitis lesions and the reduction of periodontal probing depth and gingival bleeding index. This study suggested that the concentration of 0.25% be used for treatment of peri-implantitis.
