Conclusions
peri-implantitis
This study confirms that conventional non-surgical management of peri-implantitis produces limited clinical improvement. It is shown that an erythritol air-polishing system may not produce added clinical benefits when used adjunctive to conventional non-surgical management. In other words, neither approach effectively resolved peri-implantitis. Moreover, the erythritol air-polishing system produced added pain/discomfort particularly in female patients.
