Brief Summary:
Peri-implant mucositis (PM) over dental implants is a highly prevalent disease characterized by inflammation of the peri-implant mucosa without loss of supporting bone around implants. If untreated, PM may progress into peri-implantitis, which may ultimately lead to implant loss. Multiple clinical studies have described a cause-effect relationship between the accumulation of biofilm and the development of PM and therefore effective oral hygiene practices and professional biofilm control are fundamental in their prevention and management. As it was stated in the latest expert consensus on the prevention and treatment of peri-implant diseases, up to date, the treatment of PM includes mechanical professional cleaning associated with oral hygiene instructions (OHI). However, the impact of OHI by itself is not known. This randomized clinical trial over 56 patients aims to identify if there is any superiority of individualized OHI and mechanical/physical instrumentation over OHI alone. The main objective is to evaluate the resolution of the disease, by means of reduction of modified bleeding index (mBI) 1 and 3 months after treatment. Secondary objectives include evaluating microbiological changes and determining if the extent of inflammation measured as the initial mBI could have any impact on PM resolution after different treatment modalities.In addition, the hypotheses formulated are as follows;
* The proper oral hygiene measures conducted by the patient after individualized OHI will achieve resolution of PM in a clinically relevant proportion of patients.
* The proper oral hygiene measures conducted by the patient after individualized OHI will reduce the expression of peri-implant pathogens as much as the combination of individualized OHI and professional mechanical debridement in a clinically relevant proportion of patients.
* The proper oral hygiene measures conducted by the patient after individualized OHI will reduce mBI as much as the combination of individualized OHI and professional mechanical debridement in a clinically relevant proportion of patients.
* The extent of inflammation measured as the mBI could be related with the degree of resolution of the disease according to the treatment.
