Effects of oral healthy education on Peri-implant mucositis in patients with periodontitis

Objective To compare the effects of oral healthy education on preventing against peri-implant mucositis between the patients with periodontitis(PP) and periodontally healthy patients(PHP). Methods A one-year oral healthy education and observation were operated on two groups of patients,each group including 50 patients and the incidence rate of peri-implant mucositis were compared. Results The incidence rate of peri-implant mucositis was 15.00% for PP and 12.50% for PHP,and there were not significant difference between the two groups(χ~2=0.105,P0.05). Conclusions Oral healthy education could play an important role in preventing against peri-implant mucositis in the patients with periodontitis.
