Clinical Case Report

Peri-implantitis Treated with Access-Flap Surgery

Lisa J A Heitz-Mayfield

A 27-year-old male was referred to the periodontist for assessment and management of implant site 41. The implant had been placed nine years previously and restored with a screw-retained single crown. The patient was a cigarette smoker in good general health. He reported he had reduced his smoking habit from 25 cigarettes per day to 15 cigarettes per day in the previous six months. On examination, there was calculus and plaque present at the lower anterior teeth and at implant site 41. Localized attachment loss was observed at teeth 32 and 42, with 2–3 mm of gingival recession. At implant site 41, there were 8–9 mm probing depths with suppuration and bleeding on probing.

  • * General SAC assessment modifiers that are also part of the ERA. To avoid redundancy they are listed in this section even if no complete ERA has been made.

  • ** Not applicable to the ERA of immediate placement cases and replaced by "Socket Integrity" listed below under "Surgical SAC Classification". For all other placement types this value is a classification determinant and listed here even if no complete ERA has been made.
