Surgical Treatment of Implants Affected by Periimplantitis After 15 Years of Loading: A Case Report.

PURPOSE: The aim of this case report is to describe the surgical treatment of 2 implants affected by periimplantitis after 15 years of loading.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: The treatment included mechanical and chemical decontamination with topical application of tetracycline associated with a regenerative approach. Both defects were filled with particulate autogenous bone from tuber and covered with resorbable collagen membrane.

RESULTS: The follow-up of 30 and 13 months of the implants 24 and 14, respectively, showed an absence of clinical signs of periimplant inflammation and near-complete bone regeneration.

CONCLUSIONS: The therapy approach was effective in eliminating periimplant inflammation and promoting bone gain around the implants.
