About this study

Official title: Reconstructive Surgical Therapy of Peri-implantitis: 3-year Results of a Randomized Clinical Trial

Various treatment protocols of peri-implantitis involving surgical therapies with open flap debridement procedures, resective or reconstructive modalities have been documented to achieve variable success. Surgical non-reconstructive approaches have been suggested to have limited effectiveness in terms of the resolution of inflammation in the long term. Therefore, much more interest has been intensified regarding the efficacy of biomaterials used in reconstructive approaches. The aim of this study was to investigate the 3-year clinical/radiographic outcomes of reconstructive surgical therapy of peri-implantitis using a bone substitute combined with two different bioresorbable barrier membranes, either collagen membrane (CM) or concentrated growth factor (CGF). A total of 52 patients who had at least one implant diagnosed with peri-implantitis and needed to be scheduled for reconstructive therapy of a peri-implant infrabony defect were included. Peri-implantitis case was defined as increased probing depth (PD) compared to previous examinations with bleeding on probing (BOP) and/or suppuration and radiographic evidence of peri-implant bone loss beyond crestal bone level changes resulting from initial bone remodeling. The patients were randomly assigned to receive a bone substitute filling in combination with either CM or CGF. Intrabony components were filled with a bone substitute (BioOss spongiosa granules; Geistlich, Wolhusen, Switzerland) and covered with a CM (Bio-Guide, Geistlich Biomaterials) or CGF membrane. The plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), BOP, PD, clinical attachment level (CAL), mucosal recession (MR) and radiographic vertical defect depth (VDD) values were evaluated at 1 and 3 years postoperatively.

Read the detailed description

Peri-implantitis is a plaque-associated pathological disease affecting the soft and/or hard tissues surrounding a dental implant and clinically characterized by bleeding on probing (BOP) and/or suppuration (Supp), increased probing depths (PDs) and/or mucosal marginal recessions (MRs) in addition to radiographic marginal bone loss (MBL) compared to previous examinations. Considering the increasing numbers of patients undergoing restorative treatment through dental implants and the corresponding increase in the prevalence of peri-implantitis, it is imperative to perform effective treatment methods for the management of these conditions. On the basis of evidence, the most reliable and predictable treatment of peri-implantitis has not yet been described, moreover, if the disease is left untreated, it progresses in a non-linear accelerating manner. Hence, peri-implantitis has been considered to be a major, unpredictable and growing problem for clinicians.

Various treatment protocols of this challenging problem involving non-surgical approaches and surgical therapies with open flap debridement procedures, resective surgeries, or reconstructive modalities, which include the use of bone substitutes with or without a membrane, decontamination methods of implant surfaces, antimicrobial prescriptions whether to use submerged or non-submerged techniques, have been proposed. Although non-surgical interventions have been reported to be effective in reducing BOP and PDs in peri-implantitis sites, these therapies have appeared to be unpredictable for the management of peri-implantitis, especially in most severe cases. As another treatment option, surgical non-reconstructive approaches, i.e. open flap debridement and surface decontamination alone, have been suggested to have limited effectiveness in terms of the resolution of inflammation for the long-term outcomes. Therefore, much more interest has been intensified regarding the efficacy of biomaterials used in reconstructive approaches. Several surgical augmentative therapy studies, including the use of bone substitutes with or without barrier membranes have demonstrated significant clinical and radiographic improvements for at least 3 years, especially in well-contained (three- or four-wall) intrabony defects. A systematic review evaluating long-term outcomes of reconstructive therapy for the management of peri-implantitis showed a mean PD reduction of 3 mm and a radiographic gain of 2.4 mm in bone level. However, as indicated by the last EFP Workshop, no evidence to support the superiority of a specific material, product or membrane in terms of long-term clinical outcomes of a reconstructive approach has been found. It has been strictly recommended that identification of peri-implantitis therapy success and disease resolution in the long-term management are required to allow adequate assessment of stable treatment outcomes.

Because of many studies indicating that growth factors have provided to transiently stimulate cells locally, accelerate angiogenesis, promote proliferation, differentiation, and regeneration, the additional use of them in the management of peri-implantitis has been proposed to improve the clinical outcomes and enhance soft and hard tissue regeneration. A recent systematic review and meta-analysis has been suggested that growth factors might be associated with better outcomes with regard to PD and BOP, whereas, they did not reveal statistically significant evidence for yielding additional benefits in the treatment of peri-implantitis. A randomized clinical trial (RCT) on the reconstructive surgical treatment of peri-implantitis evaluating concentrated growth factor (CGF) used as a bioresorbable barrier membrane in combination with a bone substitute, was performed recently by our study group and demonstrated significant improvements in both clinical and radiographic assessments at 1-year follow-up. Nevertheless, there is scarce information in the literature regarding the predictability and long-term stability of autologous growth factors in peri-implantitis management.

It is, therefore, the aim of this study to investigate the 3-year clinical/radiographic outcomes of reconstructive surgical therapy of peri-implantitis using a bone substitute combined with two different bioresorbable barrier membranes, either collagen membrane (CM) or CGF, and moreover, to identify prognostic indicators influencing the long-term reconstructive surgical treatment outcome using a multilevel statistical model.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. mean vertical radiographic defect depth (VDD)

    Radiographic vertical defect depth (VDD) was measured between the first bone-to-implant contact and the reference point at the coronal part of the implant body at both mesial and distal aspects of the implants.

    Measured: Postoperative 3 years

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Plaque index

    Silness \& Löe plaque index (PI) marked with a score from 0 to 3 (0: absence of microbial plaque; 1: thin film of microbial plaque; 2: moderate accumulation with plaque in the sulcus; 3: large amount of plaque in sulcus or pocket along the free gingival margin)

    Measured: Baseline, postoperative 1 and 3 years

  2. Gingival index

    Löe \& Silness index (GI) marked with a score from 0 to 3. (0: normal gingiva; 1: mild inflammation, 2: moderate inflammation, 3: severe inflammation)

    Measured: Baseline, postoperative 1 and 3 years

  3. Bleeding on probing (percent [%]) (BOP)

    BOP was assessed according to presence or absence of bleeding 30 s after gentle probing

    Measured: Baseline, postoperative 1 and 3 years

  4. Probing depth (mm) (PD)

    PD was measured as the distance from the mucosal margin to the bottom of the probeable pocket

    Measured: Baseline, postoperative 1 and 3 years

  5. Clinical attachment level (mm) (CAL)

    Clinical attachment level (CAL) defined as PD+ mucosal recession.

    Measured: Baseline, postoperative 1 and 3 years

  6. Mucosal recession (mm) (MR)

    Mucosal recession (MR) was measured as the distance from the mucosal margin and the implant abutment interface

    Measured: Baseline, postoperative 1 and 3 years

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

mean vertical radiographic defect depth (VDD) (time frame: Postoperative 3 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
