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

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. We describe three case reports of peri-implantitis successfully treated with HyBeNX®. In our stud...

Description
Summary: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. 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. The microbiological results of the clinical cases described show that there was a reduction in the total bacterial count after treatment. 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.
