Aim To evaluate the clinical treatment effects of a glycine powder air‐polishing or ultrasonic device on peri‐implant mucositis. Materials and methods Thirty‐seven patients with one implant diagnosed with peri‐implant mucositis (probing depth ≥4 mm (0.2N) and bleeding on probing ( BOP ) (primary outcome)) were randomly assigned to treatment with either glycine powder air‐polishing ( GPAP ) or ultrasonic ( US ) debridement. Treatment was performed at baseline and at 3 and 6 months. Professional supra gingival cleaning was performed at 9 and 12 months. Oral hygiene instructions were reinforced at each visit. Results At 12 months there was a statistically significant reduction in mean plaque score, bleeding on probing and number of periodontal pockets ≥4 mm within the treatment groups compared to baseline. The percentages of diseased sites were significantly reduced for both groups. Conclusions Treatment with a glycine powder air‐polishing or an ultrasonic device is effective in non‐surgical treatment of peri‐implant mucositis.
