To report the 10 years outcomes of a reconstructive surgical protocol for peri-implantitis defects with different morphologies, by means of deproteinized bovine bone mineral with 10% collagen (DBBMC).
The original population of this case series consisted of 75 patients with one crater-like defect and probing depth (PD) ≥6 mm. After flap elevation, defects were assigned to one characteristic class and treated by means of DBBMC. Following healing, patients were enrolled in an individualized supportive periodontal/ peri-implant (SPT) program.
Subjects rehabilitated with oral dental implants who presented a single peri-implantitis crater-like lesion with a PD of ≥6 mm
Exclusion Criteria:
Subjects, who presented a single peri-implantitis crater-like lesion with a PD of ≥6 mm and no implant mobility. Exclusion criteria were as follows: 1. PD \<6 mm; 2. Class II defects (characterized by consistent horizontal bone loss); 3. Multiple defects; 4. Implant mobility; 5. No interest in participating in the study; 6. Implants placed by other clinicians.
Procedure: Reconstructive therapy
Intervention: Following the elevation of a muco-periosteal flap, all granulation tissue was completely removed from the defect area, by means of titanium curettes and a titanium brush under irrigation. Consequently, implant surfaces were covered with EDTA 24% for 2 min and chlorhexidine 1% gel for 2 min. Thereafter, the infrabony defects were filled with a deproteinized bovine bone mineral with 10% collagen. All patients were asked to follow an individualized supportive care program.
Implant survival rate
Clinical Examination: Number of implants treated for peri-implantitis present in the oral cavity at the latest follow-up over the overall number of implants treated, expressed in %
Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at the 10-year follow-up visit
Implant survival rate
Percentage of implants still in place after surgical intervention
Time frame: 10-year
