Surgical Management of Peri-Implantitis: Removal of Implant Due to Recurrent Infection Using an Implant-Retrieval Tool
Despite anti-infective surgical treatment, some patients may experience recurrent infection and progressive bone loss requiring additional treatment. This case describes a conservative approach using an implant retrieval tool without the need for excessive bone removal or use of a trephine.
A 65-year-old female patient was referred to the periodontist for assessment and management of infection associated with an implant at site 12. The general dentist had noted suppuration on probing during examination.

* 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.
