Interventions

  • Peri-implant probing — DIAGNOSTIC_TEST
    This is a non-interventional, observational cross-sectional multicenter study. No therapeutic, surgical, or pharmacological interventions are performed as part of the study. All procedures correspond to standard clinical practice and include: Peri-implant clinical examination, consisting of probing depth measurements at six sites per implant using a manual periodontal probe. When access is limited, a flexible plastic probe may be used. Assessment of probing accessibility, categorized according to the angulation and feasibility of probe insertion without prosthesis removal (possible, limited, or impossible). Recording of routine clinical parameters, including plaque presence, bleeding on probing, suppuration, and patient-reported hygiene practices. Radiographic assessment, consisting of standardized periapical radiographs obtained using a parallel technique for the evaluation of marginal bone levels. No modifications to the patients' treatment, prosthetic design, or maintenance protocol

Study Details

This multicenter cross-sectional study aims to evaluate the association between access to peri-implant probing and radiographic peri-implant bone loss. Although probing is the primary diagnostic tool for peri-implant diseases, prosthetic design may limit access, potentially affecting diagnosis and disease progression. The study will include patients with dental implants in function for at least three years and will assess clinical, radiographic, and prosthetic variables.
