摘要

This study investigated the in-vitro efficacy of the Ten-Second Technique (TST), a novel protocol designed for treating peri-implant disease. TST comprises a 10-second application of Hybenx® gel on contaminated implant surfaces, followed by air polishing with sodium bicarbonate powder. This technique aims to provide an effective method for decontaminating implant surfaces, thereby mitigating dental implant complications and improving long-term outcomes. In the in vitro investigation, two failed dental implants explanted due to peri-implantitis were treated with the TST protocol. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) were employed to evaluate the protocol’s effectiveness in terms of biofilm removal, surface decontamination, and potential surface alterations. Statistical differences in surface contamination before and after TST application were assessed using One-Way ANOVA. Additionally, preliminary radiographic findings from a clinically treated case with TST suggested the technique’s potential for peri-implant tissue healing. In conclusion, the TST protocol demonstrates promising in vitro results for effectively decontaminating implant surfaces affected by peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis. The Ten-Second Technique holds potential as an efficient adjunct in both surgical and non-surgical treatment of peri-implant disease and may enhance routine implant maintenance protocols.
