Background: The current evidence regarding the alterations experienced by the alveolar ridge (hard tissue changes) after implant removal due to peri-implantitis is limited.
Purpose: To assess the hard tissue dimensional changes following implant removal due to peri-implantitis.
Material And Methods: Clinical records were examined to identify patients with implants that had to be removed due to a hopeless prognosis secondary to peri-implantitis due to expendability of peri-implantitis implants for functional reasons.
