Abstract: Aim & Hypothesis: This study's specific aims were: 1) To compare the levels of IL-1β and IL-10 in peri-implant crevicular fluid (PICF) between patients with healthy implants (HI) and patients with implants with peri-implantitis (PI), and 2) to compare the levels of IL-1β and IL-10 in PICF and their correlation with changes of clinical parameters (probing depth [PD], bleeding on probing ... read more[BOP]) in patients with PI before and after non-surgical mechanical debridement with peri-implant pocket irrigation with chlorhexidine digluconate (NSMD). The hypothesis was that levels of IL-1ß would be higher in PI vs. HI, and levels of IL-10 would be lower in PI vs. HI. Materials & Methods: Patients with implants that were HI or PI were recruited for the study. All participants underwent a clinical and radiographic evaluation. PICF was collected for ELISA analysis of levels of IL-1β and IL-10. PI participants received NSMD, returned after 4 weeks for peri-implant pocket irrigation, and again returned 4 weeks later, where PICF was collected for ELISA analysis of levels of IL-1β and IL-10, and clinical parameters were measured. Results: Ten patients in the HI group and 12 patients in the PI group participated. IL-10 measurements in all participants were below detection level and were not included. Neither the amount nor the concentration of IL-1ß was significantly different between PI and HI at baseline (p=0.076 and p=0.058, respectively). IL-1ß concentration was significantly higher in PI at follow-up compared to baseline (p=0.032). At baseline, PI had significantly deeper PD more clinical attachment loss (CAL), more BOP and a higher plaque index compared to HI (p=0.005, p<0.001, p<0.001, and p=0.035, respectively). When comparing PI between baseline and follow-up, at follow-up, PD (p<0.001), CAL (p=0.001), and BOP (p=0.006) were significantly lower. Although clinical parameters were negatively correlated with IL-1ß concentration at baseline, only BOP was statistically significant (rs = -0.516, p = 0.018). This trend continued at Visit 3, only none of the correlations was statistically significant. Conclusions: Based on our findings, NSMD for PI significantly improved clinical parameters, including PD, CAL, and BoP. There were no significant differences between levels of IL-1β in PICF between patients with HI and patients with PI. Future studies including larger samples and a longer period of observation after peri-implant therapy may allow us to draw safer conclusions about the therapeutic value of NSMD and identify biomarker profiles that can aid in the diagnosis and treatment of PI.
