Reconstructive Treatment of Peri-implantitis With Combined Defects
- Conditions
- Peri-implantitis
- Registration Number
- NCT06957652
- Lead Sponsor
- Gazi University
- Brief Summary
The aim of this randomized clinical study is to assess the additional clinical benefit of incorporating a resorbable collagen membrane (CM) alongside a xenogeneic bone graft-specifically, deproteinized bovine bone mineral with 10% collagen (DBBM-C)-in the reconstructive surgical treatment of peri-implantitis involving combined (i.e., contained and non-contained) defect configurations.
Accordingly, the study addresses the following research questions:
* Does the adjunctive use of a CM in combination with DBBM-C improve treatment success compared to DBBM-C alone in the management of combined peri-implantitis-related defects?
* Does the combined use of a CM and DBBM-C lead to superior patient-reported outcomes (PROs) compared to the use of DBBM-C alone in the reconstructive treatment of such defects? A total of 60 patients who have been referred to the Gazi University Department of Periodontology will be randomly assigned to receive test (DBMM-C +CM) or control group (DBMM-C) treatments. Clinical parameters will be assessed at baseline (i.e., prior to surgery), and at the 6-, and 12-month post-operatively. Radiographic examinations will be carried out at baseline and 12 months post-operatively. Patient oral health related to the treatment procedures will be evaluated using a written questionnaire \[Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14)\] prior to treatment and after 2 weeks, 1, and 12 months following surgical therapy. Regarding post-treatment pain and overall patient satisfaction with treatment modalities, responses will be scored on a visual analog scale (VAS, 100 mm).
- Detailed Description
Reconstructive surgical therapy for peri-implantitis has shown improved clinical and radiographic outcomes, with favorable postoperative mucosal margin levels and superior radiographic bone fill compared to other treatment modalities. However, no specific biomaterial or application technique has yet been identified as clearly superior. In particular, the potential added value of combining a barrier membrane with a bone substitute, as opposed to using bone substitute alone, remains a subject of ongoing debate.
Recent studies have suggested that the adjunctive use of a barrier membrane does not necessarily enhance clinical or radiographic outcomes in peri-implantitis-associated intrabony defects. However, these studies often included heterogeneous defect morphologies, which may influence the regenerative potential and confound treatment outcomes.
Indeed, "contained" and "non-contained" defects may behave differently due to biological factors such as space maintenance, clot stability, and wound protection. his highlights the need to tailor biomaterial selection to the specific defect configuration. While current evidence suggests that barrier membranes may not provide additional benefit in fully contained defects, there is a lack of data regarding their effectiveness in combined defects that include both supracrestal and intrabony components, particularly those with partially contained 2- or 3-wall morphologies.
Therefore, the primary aim of this randomized clinical study is to evaluate the additional clinical benefit of incorporating a resorbable CM with DBMM-C in the reconstructive surgical treatment of peri-implantitis with combined defect morphology.
The secondary objective is to assess patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in both treatment groups.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Percentage of treatment success (%) 12 months after the surgical treatment The absence of bleeding on probing (BOP) at more than one site, no suppuration, deepest PPD ≤5mm, and no further radiographic bone loss.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change in radiographic vertical defect depth 12 months after the surgical treatment Marginal bone levels (MBL) will be assessed the distance between this line and the first bone-to-implant contact (BIC). The mesial and distal measurements will be averaged for further calculations. The radiographic vertical defect depth changes over time will be evaluated the difference between MBL at baseline and 12 months following the therapy.
Patient morbidity - Postoperative pain At baseline and after 2 weeks and 1 and 12 months following surgical treatment Postoperative pain will be assessed using a visual analogue score
Patient-reported satisfaction with the overall treatment At baseline and after 2 weeks and 1 and 12 months following surgical treatment Patient-reported satisfaction will be assessed using a visual analogue score
Percentage of bleeding on probing (BOP) (%) 12 months after the surgical treatment The percentage of BOP around six sites of the implant
Probing pocket depth (PPD) 12 months after the surgical treatment The distance between the bottom of the pocket and the mucosal margin around the implant
