Successful Management of Peri-Implantitis Using a Titanium Brush and a Doxycycline-Saline Slurry for Surface Detoxification With Guided Bone Regeneration: A 5-Year Follow-Up.

Introduction: The inflammation associated with peri-implantitis lesions can be difficult to manage and regeneration of lost bone is unpredictable. Unfortunately, opinions vary on the best method(s) for elimination of inflammation and restoration of residual osseous defects. This report describes the successful surgical management of a peri-implantitis lesion with reduction of inflammation and maintenance of nearly completely regenerated horizontal and vertical bone over 5 years.

Stabilization Techniques for Soft Tissue Grafting Around Dental Implants: Case Report.

Introduction: Implants that lack keratinized tissue (KT) have been associated with increased plaque accumulation, gingival inflammation or hue of metal showing through the tissue. Free gingival grafts (FGGs) are a predictable treatment for minimal or lack of KT. FGGs can increase the zone of KT around teeth and implants alike.
