Regenerative Treatment of Peri-implantitis: A Systematic Review

Abstract

Objectives: The aim of this systematic review was to assess the clinical efficacy of bone regeneration for treatment of peri-implantitis.
Materials and Methods: Electronic search of the literature was performed to identify randomized clinical trials (RCTs) and case series on treatment of peri-implantitis using bone regeneration procedures with at least 6 months of follow-up. The guidelines of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta Analyses (PRISMA) were applied. The risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane Collaboration’s Risk of Bias tool.
Results: Two RCTs and 16 case series with a total of 520 treated patients (2002 implants) were included. Bone regenerative procedures showed controversial results regarding bone fill. Two studies reported statistically significant bone gain while four studies reported insignificant bone gain. Other studies reported bone gain with no P value. Pocket depth (PD) reduction varied among the studies since four studies reported a significant reduction in PD while four others reported insignificant reduction in PD. Other studies reported a reduction in PD with no P value. Bone regeneration procedures seemed to decrease bleeding on probing (BOP) but they did not seem conducive to increase the width of keratinized gingiva. Increased keratinized gingiva was noted in cases with subepithelial grafts.
Conclusion: Evaluation of the effectiveness of bone regeneration techniques in this systematic review presented limitations related to heterogeneity in patient selection (age, history of periodontitis, smoking status and implant system), means of disinfection and decontamination, and variability of the materials used for treatment.
