Peri-implantitis - Reconstructive Surgical Therapy
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The project will evaluate the potential benefit of the use of bone replacement graft as an adjunct to surgical therapy of peri-implantitis. The project will be conducted as a two-armed randomized controlled clinical trial of 5-year duration in 7 clinical centers. 140 systemically healthy patients diagnosed with peri-implantitis will randomly assigned to be treated with or without bone replacement graft. Outcome measures include assessments of inflammation, probing depth, recession, radiological parameters and PROMs.

Detailed Description
Objective The overall objective of the project is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of the use of a bone substitute material in reconstructive surgical therapy of peri-implantitis-associated osseous defects.
Hypothesis: The use of a bone substitute material in reconstructive therapy of peri-implantitis increases the likelihood to achieve treatment success.
Relevance for clinical practice The project will provide significant contribution to the understanding of outcomes using reconstructive procedures in treatment of peri-implantitis.
Study population, design and treatment procedures The project will be conducted as a two-armed randomized controlled clinical trial of 5-year duration in 7 clinical centers. 140 systemically healthy patients with implants ≥1 year in function and diagnosed with advanced peri-implantitis at ≥1 implants will be enrolled.
Inclusion criteria Age ≥ 18 years
≥1 implant (≥1 year of function) presenting with PPD ≥7 mm and BoP/Pus. Confirmed bone loss ≥3 mm at same implant(s)
Exclusion criteria Treated for peri-implantitis during previous 6 months Intake of systemic or local antibiotics during previous 6 months Systemic conditions affecting peri-implant tissues Systemic conditions impeding surgical intervention
Surgical procedures Surgical procedures will be performed one month after a baseline examination and initiation of plaque control. Three days before surgery a 10-day systemic antibiotic regimen will be initiated. Full thickness flaps will be elevated and inflamed tissues will be removed. The implant surfaces will be cleaned with mini-gauze soaked in saline. The osseous defect should be ≤4 mm wide and >3 mm deep. The defect should in addition to the mesial and distal bone walls preferably exhibit at least a lingual or a buccal bone wall. The randomly assigned treatment strategy, stratified for smoking, will be revealed after debridement. Test procedure: The defect will be filled with Bio-Oss Collagen® and the flaps will be sutured to their previous position. Control procedure: Flaps will be sutured to their previous position. Sutures will be removed 2 weeks after treatment, followed by a 6-week control. Clinical examinations will be performed at 6, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60 months after therapy. Maintenance therapy will be provided based on individual needs.
Clinical assessments One calibrated examiner in each clinical center will perform the assessments. The following variables will be assessed at four sites around the implant: Plaque, probing pocket depth (PPD), bleeding on probing (BoP), probing attachment level (PAL) and recession (REC).
Treatment success Treatment success will be defined as the absence of BoP/Pus, PPD ≤5 mm and ≤1 mm recession. Peri-implant sites showing BoP and PPD ≥6 mm at re-examination will be scheduled for further treatment. Patient-related outcome variables will be assessed at baseline and follow-up and include esthetic and functional appreciation, pain or discomfort.
Radiographic assessments Intra-oral radiographs will be obtained prior to surgery (baseline) and at 1-, 3- and 5-year re-examinations. Analysis of radiographs will be performed by specialists in oral-maxillofacial radiology. The examiners will be blinded to treatment procedures. The assessment will include defect fill and crestal bone support.
Power calculation A total of 122 patients (61 per group) will provide a power of 80% with alpha set at 0.05 to detect a difference of 1 mm in mean PPD change between groups, given a SD of 1.97 (Carcuac et al., 2016). 140 individuals will be included to compensate for drop-out.
Data analysis Mean changes for the various variables and the proportion of sites fulfilling the criteria for treatment success will be calculated. A multilevel model with the clinical center as the highest level and the implant as the lowest will be built to test the influence of measured factors on the outcomes and to compensate for potential clustering of data. Data analysis including multilevel modeling will be conducted in collaboration with a biostatistician.

Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Active Comparator: Control - Open flap debridement The surgical procedure includes flap elevation, debridement of the peri-implant defect and decontamination of the implant surfaces using saline for irrigation. Flaps are replaced in their original position and carefully sutured. Patients are provided with post-surgical information and thereafter called in for regular follow-up visits. |
Procedure: Open flap debridement
Open flap debridement using saline as irrigation
|
| Experimental: Test - Bone replacement graft The surgical procedure is identical to the control procedure with the exception of the application of the bone replacement graft. Following decontamination, Bio-Oss Collagen® is placed into the peri-implant bony defect. Flaps are carefully sutured and patients are provided with the same information and follow-up as patients in the control group. |
