The aims of the current study are 1) to assess the therapeutic resolution of the peri-implantitis after resective surgical treatment with or without implantoplasty procedure (no further radiographic bone loss, no erythema of the peri-implant mucosa, PD \<6mm), and 2) to evaluate the survival rate of the peri-implantitis treated dental implants.
The records of patients who underwent resective surgical treatment for peri-implantitis at the University of Michigan Graduate Periodontics clinic will be examined and analyzed. Patients who meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria will be contacted and invited to participate in the study to measure the following in a single visit: bleeding on probing, edema, redness of the peri-implant mucosa, and peri-implant probing pocket depth. Additionally, patients will be asked to complete a survey during their study visit regarding their implant(s) and previous peri-implantitis.

Soft tissue implant measurements

Therapeutic resolution of the peri-implantitis as measured by radiographic bone loss
The implant has no further radiographic bone loss when compared to previous radiographs.
Time frame: Up to 30 years after the implant was treated for peri-implantitis
Therapeutic resolution of the peri-implantitis as measured by erythema
The implant has no current erythema of the peri-implant mucosa.
Time frame: Up to 30 years after the implant was treated for peri-implantitis
Therapeutic resolution of the peri-implantitis as measured by probing depths
The implant has probing depths less than or equal to 5 millimeters.
Time frame: Up to 30 years after the implant was treated for peri-implantitis
Survival rate of the peri-implantitis treated dental implants
Survival rate will be determined by the duration of implant survival (functioning, non-symptomatic implant after peri-implantitis treatment).
Time frame: Up to 30 years after the implant was treated for peri-implantitis
