Abstract

With an increasing number of implants being placed, the treatment of peri-implant infections is becoming a focus of implantologists. Successful treatment of peri-implantitis involves the combined treatment of the peri-implant inflammation, implant surface decontamination, bone regeneration of the peri-implant defects, and reosseointegration of previously contaminated implant surfaces. Thereby, the individual steps limit one another. Recent research suggests that peri-implant defects can be successfully treated by a careful cleaning of the implant surface in combination with surgical and regenerative therapy, and appropriate antibiotic treatment if necessary. A successful therapy, according to these standards, is presented in this case report.
