The treatment of peri-implant diseases: a new approach using hybenx® as a decontaminant for implant surface and oral tissues.

Abstract

PURPOSE The aim of the present study is to demonstrate the efficacy of HyBeNX® to decontaminate the implant surface, both in the case mucositis and severe peri-implantitis and to allow future bone regeneration. MATERIALS AND METHODS We describe three case reports of peri-implantitis successfully treated with HyBeNX®. In our study, we have used microbiological tests to demonstrate the efficacy of HyBeNX® in decreasing bacterial load. RESULTS The microbiological results of the clinical cases described show that there was a reduction in the total bacterial count after treatment. CONCLUSIONS The ability of HyBeNX® to dry the surface and remove biofilm may explain the efficacy of the decontamination and subsequent clinical improvements in all three cases.
