USE OF A NEW COLLAGEN HYDROGEL IN THE TREATMENT OF PERI-IMPLANT POCKETS: A CASE SERIES.

The use of a collagen hydrogel in the treatment of peri-implant pockets.

The article presents a case series (10 clinical cases) of nonsurgical treatment of peri-implant pockets using a novel collagen hydrogel, applied following removal of bacterial plaque using dedicated ultrasonic inserts and manual curettes.
Patients so treated showed accelerated gingival tissue healing and reduced tissue inflammation, as early as 7 days.
Follow-ups at 30 and 90 days showed improvement in all parameters, with PPD decreasing by about 2 mm, while PI was halved.
