Surgical Protocol for Peri-implantitis Treatment

Peri-implant diseases are common post-restorative complications in implant rehabilitations and they occur with an incidence of 12-43%. Based on the available data in literature, the surgical therapy for peri-implantitis is effective in disease resolution. Surgical access to peri-implant lesions facilitates the removal of all granulation tissue from the defect area as well as debridement and decontamination of the exposed implant surface defect area. Different techniques have been used for implant surface decontamination during peri-implant surgery, including mechanical, chemical and laser treatments.
