The objective of this non-interventional long-term follow-up observation is to evaluate the long-term sustainability of two surgical treatments of peri-implantitis with and without Geistlich Bio-Oss® and Geistlich Bio-Gide® from a previous study
The study is a non-interventional long-term follow-up observation without any study specific procedure outside normal clinical routine. Patients from a previous study are selected to participate in this study within a standard maintenance Programm. Primary and secondary oucomes refer to the previous study

Defect fill
The primary outcome measure will be the change of "bone levels"(defect fill) over 2 years starting 1 year after surgical Intervention as assessed from intra-oral radiographs. In particular, the distances between the most apical implant to bone contact level and a characteristic reference point being the same for all sets of radiographs will be measured. The distance equal to three implant threads (known for the implant system) will be measured with a specific Software. The deeper bone level at baseline will be considered
Time frame: 2 years after the start of the study
