An ultrasonic tip, attachable to an ultrasonic handheld instrument for vibrational energy, and method for treating peri-implantitis by removing a thin layer of the surface of the contaminated metal implant base that is exposed from the loss of osseo-integration due to bacteriological biofilms. The ultrasonic tip includes a narrow wire shaft body having at its distal end a concave abrasive diamond-coated tapered grinder plate with a front grinding surface, tapered in thickness from top to bottom, that can be manually pressed against an exposed implant base vertical cylindrical diseased surface while the grinder plate is vibrated ultrasonically to remove a thin layer of the titanium alloy metal implant base. The ultrasonic tip narrow wire shaft body has three bends to avoid the crown when manually positioning the grinding surface of the grinder plate to ensure manipulation the grinding surface by the periodontist. A detoxicant liquid is introduced during cleaning to enhance removal of diseased material by vibration of the liquid to penetrate microstructural surface areas of the implant base.
A dental appliance ultrasonic tip for treating peri-implantitis, by removing a thin layer of a diseased, implant base surface, that can be operationally attached to a handheld ultrasonic frequency generator instrument to create ultrasonic vibrations on said ultrasonic tip comprising:
