Study Summary

This study seeks to test the recently discovered anti-inflammatory action of statins on inflamed mucosa surrounding dental implants. Hypothesis: The application of 1.2% simvastatin gel will decrease peri-implant inflammation. The pilot study will involve 44 subjects divided into a test and control group. The test group shall receive topical simvastatin gel administered around the implant with a blunt tipped needle. The control group will receive a placebo. Inflammatory state shall be determined at baseline as well as follow up visits at 24 hours, 1 week, and 1 month by clinical indices of inflammation as well as biochemical markers of inflammation gathered from around the implants.

Primary Outcome

Measuring the change in Cytokine levels in the peri implant crevicular fluid ( Fluid around the implant) by extracting the fluid and measuring the levels of the interlukins in the fluids in Micrograms per dicileter ( ug/dl)
