Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the knowledge and practices of Brazilian dentists in Implantology regarding peri-implantitis, a common infection related to dental implants.
- Approximately 89.5% of participating dentists reported having treated peri-implantitis, with a preference for surgical treatment, while a majority also utilized antibiotics and mouth rinses.
- Findings suggest that dentists are generally well-informed and proactive in managing peri-implantitis, but the absence of a unified treatment protocol may influence their approaches.

Barrier membranes are critical in creating tissuecompartmentalization for guided tissue (GTR) and bone regeneration (GBR) therapies. More recently, resorbable membranes have been widely used for tissue and bone regeneration due to their improved properties and the dispensable re-entry surgery for membrane removal. However, in cases with membrane exposure, this may lead to microbial contamination that will compromise the integrity of the membrane, surrounding tissue, and bone regeneration, resulting in treatment failure.
