Fifteen edentulous patients with overdentures supported by two implants in the mandibular canine regions received periodontal therapy using both hand instrumentation with Teflon curettes and a glycine-based airflow system. Periodontal probing depth (PPD), bleeding on probing (BOP), and bacterial content (BC) within the gingival sulcus were analyzed. A significant effect modification of the glycine airflow with respect to time was found for PPD (P = .01), BOP (P < .001), and BC (P = .004), which were treated as ordered categorical variables. Glycine airflow may be more effective than Teflon curettes for the maintenance of periimplant soft tissues.

Abstract

Fifteen edentulous patients with overdentures supported by two implants in the mandibular canine regions received periodontal therapy using both hand instrumentation with Teflon curettes and a glycine-based airflow system. Periodontal probing depth (PPD), bleeding on probing (BOP), and bacterial content (BC) within the gingival sulcus were analyzed. A significant effect modification of the glycine airflow with respect to time was found for PPD (P = .01), BOP (P < .001), and BC (P = .004), which were treated as ordered categorical variables. Glycine airflow may be more effective than Teflon curettes for the maintenance of periimplant soft tissues.
