Regenerative Treatment of Peri-implantitis
A systematic review of regenerative measures following anti-infection treatment revealed that peri-implantitis lesions can be effectively filled with bone substitute materials.1 Geistlich Bio-Oss® provides more stable radiographic bone fill in peri-implant lesions compared with autogenous bone.2
When defect fill of peri-implantitis defects is required, use of Geistlich Bio-Oss® in combination with a Geistlich Bio-Gide® membrane results in marked clinical improvement.3
Clinical case: Surgical regenerative treatment of a peri-implant bone defect with a favorable long-term result.

Geistlich Bio-Oss® was used to fill the defect around the decontaminated implant surface. A Geistlich Bio-Gide® membrane was placed over the Geistlich Bio-Oss® granules, around the neck of the implant.

Bony defects caused by peri-implantitis can be regenerated with Geistlich Bio-Oss®bone graft material in combination with a Geistlich Bio-Gide® membrane.
