Abstract: Peri-implant diseases are increasingly recognized as complications associated with dental implants.Managing peri-implant diseases remain a challenging issue, with no consistently reliable and predictable treatments established to date.Both non-surgical and surgical treatments have been attempted for their management.However, non-surgical treatment through mechanical debridement alone does not provide much benefit in the management of peri-implant diseases.The surgical treatment provides direct access to peri-implantitis lesion for the purpose of thorough debridement of infected tissue and decontamination of implant surfaces.It is effective in reducing inflammation and arresting disease progression.Augmentative surgical techniques using bone graft or biological modulating materials seek to regenerate the bone defects and achieve re-osseointegration.We present an augmentative treatment for peri-implantitis, addressing three different types of bone morphology and bone defect types without removing the prosthesis.However, this study is limited by its short-term observation period.
