Recurrent Peri-implantitis Leading to Implant Removal

A 65-year-old female patient was referred to the periodontist for assessment and management of implant site 12. Implant 12 had been placed ten years previously and restored with a cemented single crown. The patient was a non-smoker in good general and periodontal health. On examination there were 7 mm probing depths at implant 12 with suppuration and bleeding on probing. The patient was aware of the presence of pus but had no discomfort. A periapical radiograph showed marginal bone loss to approximately the third thread of the implant. Previous radiographs obtained from the referring clinician indicated that there had been progressive bone loss since the implant was restored. A diagnosis of periimplantitis was made.

* General SAC assessment modifiers that are also part of the ERA. To avoid redundancy they are listed in this section even if no complete ERA has been made.

** Not applicable to the ERA of immediate placement cases and replaced by "Socket Integrity" listed below under "Surgical SAC Classification". For all other placement types this value is a classification determinant and listed here even if no complete ERA has been made.
