Previous studies have indicated that surgical treatment of peri-implantitis with concomitant placement of a bone filler is associated with clinical and radiographic improvements on both short- and long-term periods. However, the available evidence also suggests that the effectiveness of regenerative treatment approaches is influenced by several factors, such as the type and configuration of the defect and implant surface characteristics, as well as the method of surface decontamination.
