Treatments were performed at baseline and months three and six. At each session, oral hygiene was instructed after plaque registration, and the patient was guided in proper cleaning technique using a toothbrush and interproximal aids as needed. Full mouth bleeding on probing (FMBoP), full mouth plaque score (FMPS), implant bleeding on probing (BoP), implant mean graded bleeding (mBI), implant probing pocket depts (PPD), implant suppuration and bone levels were assessed. Oral health-related Quality of life (OHQoL) and visual analog scales (VAS), which reflect aesthetic satisfaction and pain of the treatment, were also evaluated.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Forty-six patients were included.

FMPS showed significant reduction from 61.5 to 32.7% (test) (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001) and from 58.7 to 39.1% (control) (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). At the implant BoP reduced from 89.0 to 55.7% (test) (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001) respectively from 94.9 to 63.7% (control) (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). mBI was reduced from 1.3 to 0.6 (test) (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.01) and from 1.9 to 0.8 (control) (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001).

At month three, statistically significant intergroup differences were shown for PPD\u2009\u2265\u20094\u00a0mm with 43.5% (test) respectively 73.9% (control) (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.05). At month six, statistically significant intergroup differences, were shown for FMBoP 21.5% (test) respectively 30% (control) (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.05) and for plaque score at the implant 4.0% (test) respectively 26% (control) (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.05).
