Peri-implantitis is a plaque-associated condition causing inflammation and bone loss around dental implants. Poor plaque control and irregular maintenance increase the risk of peri-implantitis. Traditional methods for cleaning implants have limitations, and there is a need for an effective, minimally invasive solution to remove biofilm without damaging the implant surface.)

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.
