The aim of this study is to assess if ozonized water can be used for the treatment of peri-implant mucositis in patients with dental implants. Patients willl undergo professional dental hygiene also with the use of glycine powders, then they will be randomly divided into two groups: * Trial Group: irrigation of peri-implant periodontium with mucositis with ozonized water. * Placebo Group: irrigation of peri-implant periodontium with mucositis with water. Periodontal indices will be recorded at the baseline, after 1 and 2 months. After 1 and 2 months, only glycine powders will be performed, together with ozonized water or water irrigation and the collection of periodontal indices.
The aim of this study is to assess if ozonized water can be used for the treatment of peri-implant mucositis in patients with dental implants. Patients who respond to eligibility criteria and that will sign the informed consent will undergo a professional oral hygiene procedure. Patients willl undergo professional dental hygiene also with the use of glycine powders. Then, glycine powders air-flow will be administered. Then they will be randomly divided into two groups: * Trial Group: irrigation of peri-implant periodontium with mucositis with ozonized water. * Placebo Group: irrigation of peri-implant periodontium with mucositis with water. Periodontal indices will be recorded at the baseline, after 1 and 2 months. After 1 and 2 months, only glycine powder will be performed, together with ozonized water/water irrigation and the collection of periodontal indices.

Change in PPD - Probing Depth
Evaluation (in mm) of the depth of the gingival sulcus, through a millimeter periodontal probe; it is detected from the gingival margin to the bottom of the gingival sulcus of the peri-implant pocket, evaluated at 6 sites.
Time frame: Baseline, 1 and 2 months.
Change in BOP - Bleeding on Probing (percentage)
Site-specific assessment of the presence or absence of gum bleeding after the insertion of the periodontal probe for the detection of PD, detected on 6 sites.
Time frame: Baseline, 1 and 2 months.
Change in BS - Bleeding Score
Scoring criteria: * 0: no bleeding; * 1: punctiform bleeding in the site of probing; * 2: bleeding within the gingival border; * 3: bleeding outside the gingival border.
Time frame: Baseline, 1 and 2 months.
Change in PI - Plaque Index (percentage)
Site-specific assessment of the presence or visible plaque detected on 4 sites with a disclosing tables. Percentage of sites with plaque determines the PI%.
Time frame: Baseline, 1 and 2 months.
