Incidence of Bleeding on Probing as an Indicator of Peri-Implant Disease Progression
Sponsor: University of Pittsburgh
Summary
The primary goal of the present prospective cohort study is to evaluate the effect of varying incidences of BOP at implant sites across 15 months of maintenance visits on the probability of peri-implant disease progression. Over 15 months, participants will attend 6 visits where clinical measurements and maintenance care will be performed every 3 months.

Interventions
Clinical measurements
With the aid of a periodontal probe, the incidence of BOP, as well as PD, recession and KM will be assessed.
Radiographic measurement
A standardized periapical radiograph of the implant will be completed at the beginning and the end of study to determine the marginal bone loss.
Dental prophylaxis or maintenance
Dental prophylaxis or maintenance will be performed every 3 months.
