Peri-implantitis is a site-specific condition that causes an inflammatory procedure in delicate tissues, and bone loss around an osseo-integrated implants in work. The etiology of the implant infection is caused by the status of the tissue encompassing the implants, implant design, degree of roughness, outer morphology, and excessive mechanical burden. Peri-implantitis can cause the loss of implant without multilateral expectation and treatment thoughts, Aim: the main aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of additional adjuncts (mouthwash) apart from the self administered oral health care in prevalence of peri-implantitis. Material and Methodology: a randomized controlled trial was done in Srinagar district of Jammu and Kashmir. Specific clinics which undergo additional implant placement with the help of a professional were selected. A total of 45 subjects were selected who had undergone implant placements and were divided into three groups on the basis of type of adjunct/ mouthwash given. Results: 45 periodontally healthy subjects were assessed for the presence of peri-implant mucositis. 100% of subjects were disease free within 12 weeks period. The prevalence of peri-implantitis was found to be much reduced in group 1, followed by group 2and group 3. Average plaque index and bleeding on probing index was also decreased in first two groups. Conclusion: within the limits of the said study, additional use of mouthwash along with other oral hygiene practices can reduce the prevalence and severity of peri-implantitis within a week’s period of time.
