To describe participants' experiences of being treated for peri-implant mucositis.
A qualitative study with nine individual, semistructured interviews was performed. The interview guide was based on a focus group interview. The participants had recently been treated for peri-implant mucositis on one dental implant in a randomised controlled trial (RCT). The treatment included information, oral hygiene instructions, nonsurgical treatment with Er:YAG laser or ultrasonic scaler and professional cleaning in several sessions over 6 months. The interviews performed were analysed using qualitative manifest and latent content analysis.
The manifest results showed that learning how to brush the teeth, and repeated feedback, was appreciated, and increased the motivation to improve oral hygiene habits. Most participants experienced no discomfort from the treatment. The participants had an understanding that a longer treatment time was required to ensure the quality of the treatment. Respect and attention were important elements of the personal treatment. The latent results suggest that treatment with a laser or an ultrasonic scaler was not perceived as the most important part of the treatment. Participants felt that receiving information about the treatment process was more important; moreover, a person-centred approach gave a feeling of good and safe care.
The present study highlights factors of importance in treatment of peri-implant mucositis with laser and ultrasonic scaler. A person-centred approach with respect and attention is important for a good and safe experience and may be important factors in future treatments.
描述种植体周围黏膜炎患者的治疗体验。
进行了一项定性研究，包含9次个人半结构式访谈。访谈指南基于焦点小组访谈制定。参与者近期在一项随机对照试验（RCT）中接受了单颗牙种植体周围黏膜炎的治疗。治疗包括提供信息、口腔卫生指导、使用铒激光或超声洁治器进行非手术治疗以及在6个月内分多次进行专业清洁。采用定性的显性和隐性内容分析法对访谈结果进行分析。
显性结果表明，学习如何刷牙以及反复得到反馈受到欢迎，并增强了改善口腔卫生习惯的动力。大多数参与者在治疗过程中未感到不适。参与者理解需要较长的治疗时间以确保治疗质量。尊重和关注是个性化治疗的重要因素。隐性结果表明，激光或超声洁治器治疗未被视为治疗中最重要的部分。参与者认为了解治疗过程的信息更为重要；此外，以人为本的方法能带来良好且安全的护理感受。
本研究强调了使用激光和超声洁治器治疗种植体周围黏膜炎时的重要因素。以人为本、尊重和关注的方法对于获得良好且安全的体验很重要，可能是未来治疗中的重要因素。
