PEMF Effects on Peri-implant Tissues in Adults with Peri-implantitis

This clinical trial is focused on the non-surgical treatment of peri-implantitis, a condition where inflammation occurs around dental implants, potentially leading to bone loss. The study investigates the effects of Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy on the tissues surrounding dental implants. Participants include adults aged 20 to 85 who show specific signs of peri-implantitis, such as bone loss and bleeding, but do not have other periodontal issues. This research is important because it could offer a less invasive treatment option for peri-implantitis, potentially improving dental implant care and outcomes for those affected by this condition. Participants in the study undergo a random allocation process to receive either PEMF therapy or a sham treatment. During the study, each patient receives two temporary implants, one with PEMF therapy and one without, in their jaw to support a temporary prosthesis. After eight weeks, these implants and the surrounding tissues are examined to assess the tissue response. This involves comparing the healing and health of the tissues with and without the PEMF treatment. Patients are made aware of the potential risks and benefits of participating, and they consent to the study before it begins. The trial is designed to be double-blind, meaning neither the participants nor the evaluators know who is receiving the active treatment, ensuring unbiased results.
