Successful Management of Peri‐Implantitis Using a Titanium Brush and a Doxycycline‐Saline Slurry for Surface Detoxification With Guided Bone Regeneration: A 5‐Year Follow‐Up
Abstract:Introduction
The inflammation associated with peri‐implantitis lesions can be difficult to manage and regeneration of lost bone is unpredictable. Unfortunately, opinions vary on the best method(s) for elimination of inflammation and restoration of residual osseous defects. This report describes the successful surgical management of a peri‐implantitis lesion with reduction of inflammation and maintenance of nearly completely regenerated horizontal and vertical bone over 5 years.
