Collagen Membrane and Allograft in Peri-Implantitis Surgery

Peri-implantitis is an inflammatory condition characterized by inflammation of the peri-implant tissues and progressive loss of supporting bone around dental implants. Surgical treatment is often required in advanced cases to decontaminate implant surfaces and manage peri-implant bone defects. Regenerative approaches frequently include the use of bone graft materials and barrier membranes to promote bone regeneration and improve healing outcomes. The aim of this randomized clinical trial is to evaluate whether the adjunctive use of a resorbable collagen membrane provides additional benefits when combined with an allograft in the surgical treatment of peri-implantitis. A total of 44 patients diagnosed with peri-implantitis associated with circumferential intrabony defects are randomly allocated into two groups: one treated with allograft combined with a collagen membrane and the other treated with allograft alone. Clinical parameters including probing depth, bleeding on probing, and suppuration are recorded at baseline and during follow-up. Radiographic marginal bone levels are assessed using standardized periapical radiographs. In addition, peri-implant crevicular fluid samples are collected to measure platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) levels as biochemical indicators of healing. The outcomes of the two treatment approaches are compared to determine whether the use of a collagen membrane provides additional clinical, radiographic, or biochemical benefits in peri-implantitis surgery.
