Long-term Follow-up Study on Surgical Treatment Results for Peri-implantitis Lesions

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating the long-term surgical treatment outcomes for patients with peri-implantitis lesions who have been treated since 2014 at the University of Malm, Blekinge hospital, and the Dental Clinic of the Sigmund Freud University Vienna. The study focuses on regularly assessing these patients up to once per year after their one-year postoperative control to monitor healing and treatment success. The research includes clinical and radiographic evaluations to better understand disease resolution over time. Patients included in the study receive standard surgical care for peri-implantitis lesions, which involves removing inflammatory lesions during surgery. For up to 200 future patients, these removed lesions will be collected and analyzed through histological, microbiological, and molecular methods. This collection happens during their routine surgical treatment, regardless of participation in the study. Participants will have annual clinical check-ups that include measuring peri-implant parameters like probing pocket depth and collecting peri-implant sulcus fluid. A peri-apical radiographic examination will also be performed to assess healing. The main outcome measured is disease resolution, recorded as a yes or no answer, at multiple time points up to ten years after surgery. This ongoing monitoring helps researchers understand the long-term effects of surgical treatment for peri-implantitis.
