Electrolytic Cleaning System for Peri-implantitis

Current Stage of Innovation

TRL

  • The electrolytic cleaning system has shown promising results in removing biofilm and decontaminating implant surfaces effectively. Compared to other methods, such as glycine jetting, it provides superior plaque removal and ensures that the implant surface is not altered, preserving its microtopography. The system combines antibacterial action with bacterial enzyme oxidation, reducing the reliance on harmful chemicals. However, the method still has limited clinical evidence and depends on specialized equipment. Some discomfort during the procedure and the possibility of hydrogen embrittlement are potential concerns.

  • Peri-implantitis is a serious plaque-associated inflammatory condition that affects the soft and hard tissues surrounding dental implants, leading to progressive bone loss and potential implant failure. It usually develops due to the accumulation of bacterial biofilm around the implant surface, which triggers an inflammatory response in the surrounding gum and bone tissue. Poor oral hygiene, inadequate plaque control, and irregular professional maintenance visits significantly increase the risk of developing peri-implantitis. Once established, the condition can be difficult to manage because conventional cleaning methods—such as mechanical debridement or chemical disinfection—often fail to completely remove biofilm from the complex implant surface. Additionally, aggressive cleaning techniques may damage the implant’s delicate surface, compromising its ability to integrate with the surrounding bone. Therefore, there is an increasing need for a safe, effective, and minimally invasive approach to decontaminate implant surfaces and control infection.
