Surgical Treatment of XXXX : A 17-Year Follow-Up Clinical Case Report.

@entity1 @entity32 @entity548 @entity604 @entity737 @entity803 @entity291
The purpose of the present case report was to describe the surgical treatment of a @entity737 associated with a regenerative approach. A 48-year-old @entity1 came to authors' attention 36 months after the placement of a dental implant (ITI-Bonefit Straumann, Waldenburg, Switzerland) in position 46. A swelling of the peri-implant soft tissues was observed, associated with @entity548 on probing and probing depth > 10   mm. A significant peri-implant @entity604 was clearly visible on the periapical radiograph. A nonsurgical periodontal supportive therapy was firstly conducted to reduce the @entity32 , followed by the surgical treatment of the defect. After mechanical and chemical decontamination with @entity803 solution, a regenerative approach consisting in the application of deproteinized @entity291 bone mineral (Bio-Oss, Geistlich Pharma AG, Wolhusen, Switzerland) and a collagen membrane (Bio-Gide, Geistlich Pharma AG, Wolhusen, Switzerland) was performed. An antibiotic therapy was associated with the treatment. The 17-year follow-up showed a physiological probing depth with no clinical signs of @entity32 and @entity548 on probing. No further radiographic @entity604 was observed. The treatment described in the present case report seemed to show improved clinical results up to a relevant follow-up period.
