Abstract

The purpose of this case report was to radiographically evaluate the long-term effect of surgical treatment of peri-implantitis defects using bone graf t procedure for more than 3 years af ter operation. 2 cases of patients who had peri-implantitis induced intrabony defect were included in this study. Patients were treated by surgical procedure which consists of mechanical debridement with air abrasive system and titanium curette, chemical decontamination with tetracycline, and regenerative approach using synthetic bone or xenogenic bone. Clinical reduction of probing pocket depth and radiographic evidence of bone gain was observed and maintained in both patients for 3 years after surgery. Within the limitation of this case report, bony defects were managed effectively by surgical treatment with regenerative bone graft procedure.
