The aim of this randomized clinical study is to assess the additional clinical benefit of incorporating a resorbable collagen membrane (CM) alongside a xenogeneic bone graft-specifically, deproteinized bovine bone mineral with 10% collagen (DBBM-C)-in the reconstructive surgical treatment of peri-implantitis involving combined (i.e., contained and non-contained) defect configurations.
Accordingly, the study addresses the following research questions:
* Does the adjunctive use of a CM in combination with DBBM-C improve treatment success compared to DBBM-C alone in the management of combined peri-implantitis-related defects?
* Does the combined use of a CM and DBBM-C lead to superior patient-reported outcomes (PROs) compared to the use of DBBM-C alone in the reconstructive treatment of such defects? A total of 60 patients who have been referred to the Gazi University Department of Periodontology will be randomly assigned to receive test (DBMM-C +CM) or control group (DBMM-C) treatments. Clinical parameters will be assessed at baseline (i.e., prior to surgery), and at the 6-, and 12-month post-operatively. Radiographic examinations will be carried out at baseline and 12 months post-operatively. Patient oral health related to the treatment procedures will be evaluated using a written questionnaire \[Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14)\] prior to treatment and after 2 weeks, 1, and 12 months following surgical therapy. Regarding post-treatment pain and overall patient satisfaction with treatment modalities, responses will be scored on a visual analog scale (VAS, 100 mm).
