Treatment of Advanced Peri-Implantitis by Implant Removal Followed by Bone Reconstruction and New Implant Placement

Paolo Casentini and Matteo Chiapasco present a case in which the peri-implant defect was not suitable for a fully regenerative approach. It involves implant removal, use of a CAD/CAM customized titanium mesh in the grafting phase, and placement of new implants. A 62-year-old woman was referred for consultation regarding her implant-supported prosthesis replacing teeth 14 to 16. The patient’s main concern was pain and recurrent swelling in the right posterior maxilla. The patient also reported difficulty and discomfort when brushing the area. The patient reported she had been treated in another country, where she had received three implants in combination with sinus-floor augmentation for the replacement of the posterior maxillary teeth three years earlier. The patient indicated “endodontic complications” to be the reason for the extraction of the teeth.

* 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.
