Management of Retrograde Peri-Implantitis Using an Air-Abrasive Device ErCr:YSGG Laser and Guided Bone Regeneration

摘要

Background The placement of an implant in a previously infected site is an important etiologic factor contributing to implant failure. The aim of this case report is to present the management of retrograde peri-implantitis (RPI) in a first maxillary molar site, 2 years after the implant placement. The RPI was treated using an air-abrasive device, Er,Cr:YSGG laser, and guided bone regeneration (GBR).
