Abstract

Plaque accumulation on the implant titanium surface plays a critical role in the initiation and progression of periimplant disease. Removing plaque and calculus deposits, and reducing the periimplant probing depth, therefore, are important. The reduction of the periimplant probing depth in periimplant disease by using a cord and a surgical dressing pack has not been previously reported. This procedure is useful for periimplant mucositis and mild periimplantitis before a surgical intervention and can maintain a narrow keratinized mucosa with less pain than surgical intervention.
