Surgical Approach to Peri-Implantitis: Case Series of Regenerative Treatment Protocol

Abstract The implementation of dental implants has revolutionized the treatment of the partially and completely edentulous patients, offering significant benefits in restoring oral function and esthetics. However, routine dental implant placement is often associated with complications such as peri-mucositis and peri-implantitis, which can compromise the long-term success of the implant. One of the primary challenges in managing peri-implant diseases is the absence of acute symptoms, often leading to delayed detection and diagnosis by the patient. As peri-implant diseases progress, patients may seek dental care due to the exacerbation of symptoms, prompting the dentist to consider surgical intervention. Surgical therapy offers a critical opportunity to restore compromised implants and peri-implant tissues, potentially improving implant survival rates. The surgical management of peri-implantitis, which involves debridement, decontamination, and regenerative procedures, provides an effective alternative for addressing the infected peri-implant tissues and can contribute to long-term implant stability and function.
