A CASE OF PERI-IMPLANTITITIS TREATED WITH A NEW GENERATION BONE PASTE

The residuals of definitive prosthetic cement can favor the development of peri-implantitis

The patient came to the surgeon’s attention complaining of a painful swelling at a crown on the implant in 2.2. The radiographic and clinical examination confirmed the presence of a rather extensive peri-implantitis, with probing depths between 10 and 12 mm on the vestibular side and between 4 and 5 mm on the palatal side.
The peri-implant surface was then decontaminated and regenerative surgery was performed with an equine derived enzymatically deantigenated bone paste protected with a pericardium membrane.
