Clinical study of guided bone regeneration and/or bone grafts in the treatment of ligature-induced peri-implantitis defects in dogs.
This study evaluated, by clinical analysis, the hard tissue response following treatment of ligature-induced peri-implantitis defects in 5 dogs. The mandibular premolars were removed from both sides of the jaw. After 3 months of healing, two titanium implants were placed on each side of the mandible. Following abutment connection, 3 months later, experimental peri-implantitis was induced by the placement of cotton ligatures in a submarginal position. Ligatures and abutments were removed after one month and the bony defects were randomly assigned to one of the following treatments: debridement (DE), debridement plus guided bone regeneration (GBR), debridement plus mineralized bone graft (BG) and debridement plus guided bone regeneration associated with mineralized bone graft (GBR + BG). The peri-implant bone defects were clinically measured before and 5 months post-treatment. Results showed a higher percentage of vertical bone fill for GBR + BG (27.77 +/- 14.07) followed by GBR (21.78 +/- 16.19), BG (21.26 +/- 6.87), DE (14.03 +/- 5.6). However, there were no statistically significant differences between any of the treatments proposed (one way repeated measures analysis of variance, P = 0.265).
