Abstract
Peri-implantitis is an inflammatory disease of the tissues surrounding the implant that leads to a progressive and irreversible bone loss. The treatment for peri-implantitis aims to achieve the elimination of bacterial infection, a reduction in the depth of the bag and an absence of bleeding on probing, as well as preventing the loss of support tissues by means of an appropriate support therapy. Professional procedures for infection control include the removal of bacterial deposits from the components of the implant and the superstructure. However, there is sometimes a need to resort to surgical therapy, which consists of creating access for cleaning and decontaminating the surface of the implant.
