This study will compare 2 methods to clean contaminated implant surfaces: air-polishing device versus titanium curette. Both of these methods will be used in the non-surgical and surgical setting, followed by implant removal. Then, in-vitro analysis to assess the efficacy of surface decontamination will be performed.
