Summary
A minimally invasive coronal resection technique offers a less traumatic alternative for managing severe peri-implantitis, preserving the osseointegrated implant apex. This approach successfully treated a patient with marginal peri-implantitis, avoiding complications associated with full explantation.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Oral Surgery
- Periodontology
Background:
- Dental implant surgery is a widely used and reliable treatment.
- Peri-implantitis, an inflammation around implants, can lead to implant failure and necessitate removal.
- Conventional explantation can carry risks of complications like jaw fracture.
