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.
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
75
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.
