Aim: To compare the effect of manual and sonic-powered toothbrushing on biofilm control in patients with peri-implant mucositis.
Materials and methods: The study was completed with a total of 41 patients, 21 in the sonic tooth brushing group and 20 in the manual tooth brushing group. The patients' baseline, 3rd-month, 6th-month and 9th-month periodontal examination data (Modified Gingival Ä°ndex (MGI), Modified plaque index (MPI), Bleeding on the probing index (BOP), Pocket depth (PD), Gingival Recession (GR) and Gingival Biotype (GB)) were analyzed.
