Surgical Treatment of Peri-Implantitis in the Posterior Mandible Associated with Hard- and Soft-Tissue Reconstruction

Paolo Casentini demonstrates that peri-implantitis can be successfully treated even at an advanced stage. He discusses a case in which the existing implants and prostheses were both retained while regenerating the defect and creating a band of keratinized tissue. A 69-year-old female patient was referred by her general dentist for evaluation of a recurrent infection at previously placed and restored implants in the posterior left mandible. The patient’s chief complaint was recurrent swelling and pain in the molar region of the left posterior mandible with discomfort during brushing in the same area. The patient reported receiving two implants (36 and 37) nine years earlier.

* 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.
