Radiographic exams showed radio-opacity at the grafted sites to gradually increase over time. Postoperative probing depth gain, 7 and 6 mm respectively at position 3.4 and 3.6 remained unchanged at all follow-up controls. After 12 months the patient is asymptomatic and the failed implant can be considered restored.
The way we managed this extreme peri-implantitis case has allowed to give clinical success even if, to comply to the patient’s will, the best clinical, evidence-based treatment, was not performed. The implant that was otherwise lost was successfully recovered. As an hypothesis, a new osseointegration process could have occurred between the implant and the newly formed bone.
